LB has a new television friend. He resides on Sesame Street. You may know him as 'Elmo', but we affectionately refer to him as "Melmo" in this household.
On Saturday, Jerk Face and I were going to watch a play (Les Miserables -- very good!) and out to dinner. My mom and sister watched LB for us. LB isn't away from us very often, and because of that I decided to buy her an Elmo that morning, so that my mom/sister could bust out if she missed me so much, that she wouldn't stop crying.
