Red Furry Monster
by Ashley Weeks Cart
We’re off to the Poconos to see James’ family for a couple days. When we return, I have pictures, stories, and video of Sunny meeting her idol. As in Elmo. Complete with Kevin Clash.*
Prior to her rendez-vous with Elmo and in honor of what would be Jim Henson’s 75th birthday, Sunny posed with cupcakes featuring her two favorite Sesame Street characters. Elmo, of course. And “Monster Cookie,” primarily because he’s blue, her favorite color.
*Kevin Clash is the dude man who created Elmo – the voice, the puppeteering, etc. Needless to say, it was a pretty special meeting. To be honest, James and I were more emotional about it than her.
