We are totally in love with Elmo around here.  Savannah seems to call Elmo "lalalala" for the most days, I guess because of the song for Elmo's World.  We always call Elmo by his name, but she still has her own name for him.  Well, I about FLIPPED when I received an email to let me know that the Sesame Street K is for Kindness Pop Up Tour was headed our way!   I know Savannah is going to be so excited to see Elmo and that happiness for her makes my heart smile so big!!!

I love finding books in a series for Broxton (and Savannah) as I know that I love books by the same author, so I am sure they will too.  We were recently sent Larry Gets Lots in Prehistoric Times and I thought it was super cute.  It is a great way to let the kids read and have fun, but also sneak in a fun bit of education as well!   ' FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.
