Meeting Elmo

La la la la, La la la la, Elmo's World.....
Today was a special day and a great way to start off Lydia's birthday week. Lydia got to meet Elmo and his creator Kevin Clash. Elmo was so kind to take time with Lydia and other boys and girls in our area to talk one-on-one with them. First we got to hear Kevin talk about his new book and what it was like being the voice behind Elmo and then him and Elmo answered some questions. After having some individual picture and greeting time with Elmo, we then stood in line to get a Elmo book autographed by Elmo and Kevin. They were both so kind! Lydia absolutely loved it! She smiled from ear to ear the whole time! Clifford the Big Red Dog was also there at the bookfest but Lydia didn't much care for his largeness! Thursday Lydia will be celebrating her 2nd birthday with an Elmo/Sesame St. theme. She sure does love that red monster!!!
