Thank you, Auntie Em.

When Savannah had her blood drawn on Tuesday, she was given an Elmo sticker. Well, quite a few actually. But she was only interested in ONE.

A few weeks ago, when she also had Elmo stickers, her Auntie Em was over for a visit and was being goofy, and told Savannah that since her belly was hurt, to put the stickers on her belly. Makes sense, right? Well, for some reason, Savannah has remembered that advice.

So when the lab tech handed her the Elmo sticker, she yanked up her shirt and stuck it to her belly. I just kinda laughed and we left... and later I tried to remove it, which did not go well. She screamed and cried and I thought... pick your battles... she can keep the sticker on her belly. It'll fall off eventually, right? Haha. No.

Two days later...






Elmo sticker finally disintegrated in the bath tub. Which was a catastrophe in of itself. And... three days later... her belly still has sticky residue on it despite alcohol wipes and baby oil... Thank you, Auntie Em. :)
