Momma, Did Elmo Call?

Yes, my hubby found an app that will have Elmo call your child. It's super cute! You can set it up to call and talk to your child about different topics. You can set a schedule and everything. We have it set around bedtime, from cleaning up to brushing his teeth yo going to bed. My 3 1/3 year old loves it! It does encourage him to get the tasks done quickly, so if you have a slow poke, it may help.

I tried putting her in my bed and telling her a story and...
