Don't Eat Me Elmo!

One of the funniest moments during Christmas morning was when Oliver opened Big Hugs Elmo, examined the box and asked if Elmo was eating the little boy on the box.  He proceeded to start screaming, "I don't want Elmo to eat me, I don't want Elmo to eat me!" and ran away.  If you look closely, the positioning of the cardboard boy's face to Elmo's mouth does make it look like Elmo's about to take a bite out of his face!!  And the closed eyes and mouth open (most likely in joyous laughter) on the little boy, could be mistaken as a struggling scream to an almost 3 year old with a vivid imagination!  Poor Oliver, the strangest things frighten him!  Now that we're home and settled in with Elmo, they're on better terms.  The boys even like playing doctor on him with their new doctor kit.  Maybe they're really trying to find a way to disable his power source!
