Ernie parade

Dennis got an Ernie for Christmas from his aunt and uncle and cousins. After we got home from visiting them, I was going through some old toys of mine and he found my old Ernie and Bert puppets. He also found another Ernie that was his Uncle Michael's. And, in our bathroom, we used to have a couple of bottles of bubble bath, and the bottles were Ernie and Bert (you remove their heads--scary--and find the screw tops to the bottles). Those bottles aren't always in the bathroom any more since Dennis discovered them. Sometimes they use his potty and we find them in there. Sometimes they visit the den and sometimes his room. At any rate, he LOVES Ernie and Bert.
He was eating some beloved cocoa puffs cereal today, saying "mmmmm... co-cos". He loves that cereal so much that he decided Ernie might want to share it with him. He 'fed' all his Ernies some cereal. Later he fed them some ramen noodles. Bert was lucky enough to get some noodles as well, but Ernie is still the clear favorite. Elmo looked on hungrily from the floor. Poor Elmo. It's a shame, too, because we taught Elmo how to use the potty a week ago when Dennis got his new potty. We haven't potty trained Ernie or Bert.
