Vedders Chronicles

Blue Elmo

As previously twitted, tonight as Zachary was getting ready for bed he pulled out hisCookie Monster stuffed animal turned to me and said, “Hey Dad! Look, it’s Blue Elmo.” Knowing that 1). Zachary has seen Sesame Street on too many occasions to quantify and 2). Zachary really loves his cookies, I would have thought he would have known right away as to who Cookie Monster was. Apparently the older Sesame Street characters don’t get as much attention on TV as they once did. Perhaps kids don’t remember him as well as previous generations do because of the continuous featuring of Elmo or maybe it’s because of the shift in focus behind his new campaign that says “Cookies are a sometimes food.” At any raite, tomorrow I’ll be pulling out one of my all time favorite Christmas specials, the classic Christmas Eve on Sesame Street so that I can reintroduce the characters to him.

Happy 7th Birthday Nathaniel

It’s hard to believe, but our our little Nathaniel isn’t quite so little any more. After starting his Summer Camp Sleepover as a 6 year old last night, today he wakes up a whole year older! Next week he starts his third year at Knapp Charter Academy. Yep, that’s right…Nathaniel is now a Second Grader.

As always, I will post some pictures and videos as the weekend’s birthday extravaganza progresses.

Be sure to wish Nate a Happy 7th Birthday!

Update: Yes Brad, you are right…he has been slowly aging over the course of the past year and he did indeed wake up a whole 1/365 year older.
