Elmo needed some butt paste

this morning I went to get Alex up and found him sitting up. smiling. holding something. look mommy. what is that? its the butt paste. what?!

Alex got the butt paste yesterday at nap time and since we didn't notice it, he slept with it last night too. he said "Alex booty hurt. so, I do it by-self. make it all better." oh, break my heart. how could i be mad!? It was a mess. all over. too bad elmo got the brunt of it. well, at least he doesn't have diaper rash anymore!

I totally forgot to mention "blankie elmo" in the 2 1/2 year post. They are a pair. He sleeps with blankie and elmo and also snuggles with them in "times of need". They are well loved. Elmo is getting pretty worn out fast. the funny thing about blankie is that alex has worked at ripping the seam in the corner putting his finger in the "hole". he has to find the hole to put his finger in it before he can settle down to go to sleep. such a silly boy. he would yelp "the hole! the hole! find the hole" as we would frantically try all the corners to find "the" corner that he has worked the hole bigger. this might totally not make sense. oh well. it makes me smile.

and on this same note, we did end up making alex's bed into a toddler bed right before Christmas. i just realized that we never posted on that. he has done sooooo well with the transition, stays in bed, and we haven't had any problems or trouble...till now. :)
