"get out of that bed, and wash your face and hands..."

grandpa pete got max this singing elmo for Christmas. it's super annoying in the fact that once you play the thing one time, the song is stuck in your head for the duration of the day. but max is infatuated with it. i don't know if it's the vibration, the music, or the lights, but no matter how cranky his mood is, if we press the button, max immediately stops what he's doing and just stares at elmo. (and apparently sometimes also tries to tear out his eyeballs.....it's out of love, i'm sure!)
