It's been a couple of weeks but we had Samanthas second birthday at the park. Elmo showed up and the kids loved him and went straight to him...except the birthday girl.

Even when Elmo told her he was daddy, but only in a costume.

Still no go.
If DH ever needs another job he can always rent the costume and charge five bucks a picture.

I have 3-5 phone numbers of people whos picture I took!!!
The wet face picture was in the morning brushing teeth, washing hand and anything else that requires water.
