Baby Battle Cry

October 12, 2008

So Amelia seems to have adopted a battle cry.  She does this just before she steals DuckBear, pounces on her brother or does some crazy dance.  It’s nice because it serves as a forewarning of impending trouble.  What I don’t get is why she chose this particular battle cry.  When mischief is at hand Amelia yells “ELMO!” and then goes after whatever she’s going to go after.  It’s great!  She does seem to be kind of an Elmo junky so maybe the attacks she’s committing are being done in the name of Elmo.  If that is true then I’m kind of concerned.  Is there an Elmo cult?  Is she at danger of joining it, or has she already fallen prey to the words of Elmo?  If I start finding “Elmo Loves You” pamphlets under her crib, I’m going to need to hire someone to deprogram her.  Until then I will just need to enjoy the cuteness of her little voice yelling “Elmo!” right before she bashes her brother in the nose.

    HA! That’s great! I think she has started the cult. If you find pamphlet printing supplies…..well then you know the answer!!
