Elmo Backpack

About a week ago Amanda found Andy's old Elmo backpack.  We got it for him when he was about her age and obsessed with Elmo, so he could bring a few of his own things with him when we went on trips.  Back then we went on a lot of trips, sigh.

It has a few small holes in it from being dragged on the floor, but otherwise it's in fantastic shape.  Since she has found it she barely takes it off.  She wears it in the car, even with things in it which looks very uncomfortable but she is willing to sacrifice comfort to keep it on, during meals, all day long.  She even takes it to bed with her, although I won't let her sleep in it.  The only place she is not allowed to take her backpack is school, because I don't want to cause any problems or fights.

I'm not sure how long this Elmo obsession is going to last, but it doesn't look like it's going to lose momentum any time soon.
