Christmas Elmo
My friend, Mike, bought this for her. The first day we saw him Emma was slow to warm up to him. I explained to him that it would just take some time spent with us and she'd warm up. The next morning he decided to try and speed up the process. He bought her a gift. She liked it just fine, but it probably made no difference in the process.

As I promised, soon enough she was his buddy. We'd start out somewhere and she'd be saying "Mike! Mike! Mike! C'mon!" This morning when we got up to pack and leave Mike had already left for his conference. Emma did miss him. She mentioned him several times this morning and we had to explain again that he'd already left for the day. We ended up having her color a note and slip it under his hotel room door. "Bye, Mike!"
