Happy Birthday, Leila!






Our neighbor and Charlie's BFF, Leila, turned two this weekend. We have been talking about her birthday party all week, and we were excited to help Leila celebrate. Leila is a big Elmo fan just like Charlie. She had Elmo balloons and even an Elmo cake. Charlie enjoyed blowing bubbles, eating cookies, and playing with balloons.
We were having a fantastic time until Elmo showed up in person. Oh how I wish I could properly describe the scream that came out of my child. I was shocked by his response. Charlie was so traumatized by the sight of Elmo that we actually had to leave. I have never seen him move so fast up a flight of stairs. Poor thing cried the whole walk back to our house and kept saying that Elmo was too big. I think it's safe to say that we will be avoiding costumed characters in the future.
