As Amanda's obsession with Elmo grows, so do the frustrations. She only wants to eat off of the Elmo plates, of which we have two, and out of the Elmo bowls, there are three of those, and insists on using her Elmo bib. The problem with the Elmo bib is that it doesn't have a pocket so everything she drops, which is still a lot of food, ends up on her pants or dress or skirt which drives me crazy. Luckily, with a little work, we were able to come to a compromise. Now Amanda is happy to eat with a pocket bib as long as she can wear her Elmo bib over it. She looks a little weird with two bibs on, but overall a win-win in one of many battles with a toddler that doesn't have many words.
