Dethroned

This theory is only a mere hours old, but it would appear that there is currently someone under our roof who Baby Zog finds more desirable than daddy. Yep, that's right. Move over Daddy, Uncle E is in town!

Uncle E was requested to help him out of the car seat, Uncle E has to play the games. Uncle E brought fun toys (more on this below). Uncle E needs to join Baby Zog for dinner, bathe him, read to him. Hmm...Mommy is thinking she might cash in on a little "me time" this weekend. Being third in line for Baby Zog's affection leaves one with plenty of time for a pedicure.

Uncle E did not come unarmed. He had shipped his secret weapon and it arrived yesterday. In this "magic box" were two new members of our rapidly growing arsenal of Sesame Street plush toys (Happy 40th SS!). Watch the video below for the unveiling. Bert went over with a smash. Not so much for poor Snuffy...





And below is a little montage of Baby Zog playing with Uncle E and just generally being silly. (Thanks for the t-ball Sitti!) I love how Baby Zog shows off for the people he loves - I also love that my in-laws say he's "just like his daddy was" and my parents say "he's just like his mommy was." Guess he comes by it honestly.




Stay tuned - Uncle E is here until Monday!

I am CRYIN' I'm laughing so hard!! Thanks so much for making my day - I plan to wear this video out by watching over and over. Wasn't Snuffy "the invisible one" - maybe there's a reason only BB could see him! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, you all!!!!

That is HYSTERICAL.

That's so funny! Poor Snuffy! Has he accepted Snuffy?

Zog mom said...

For anyone wondering...YES! Snuffy has been accepted into the fold and is now nearly paralell with Bert. It happened slowing, first with Baby Zog asking to get Snuffy out of the box so he could look at him - not go near him - just look. It progressed from there. They have both pushed Grover off his spot as #1 muppet. Yea for Snuffy!

ap used to cry whenever snuffy made an appearance on sesame street. she's cool with him now though and even makes little elephant trumpeting noises when he shows up.
