Elmo Gets a Wheelchair
Since it was Hannah’s birthday we got a gift card for Build a Bear workshop. So, we went to the mall and went into the store. I try not to buy too many stuffed animals since three people in our house are asthmatic. Stuffed animals and dust mites are the very best of buddies.
The neat thing about Build a Bear is that they have all types of accessories for customizing ones stuffed animal. Hannah’s Elmo was bought there originally so all the outfits and shoes fit Elmo. We were just walking around in the store and we were about to leave since, Gabriel was having listening issues when I spotted a wheelchair for the stuffed animals.
I smiled and showed it to Robert. He looked at me and laughed "Well, you’ve got to buy it! You don’t know when you will find it again."
I mentioned on the way home that ," I wish it was as easy to buy a wheelchair for Hannah."
She outgrew her kid cart at least six months ago. It’s a long story. We are still waiting on her new one.
Since Elmo was getting the chair, I thought it was time to actually put a trach in Elmo. So I did that too. When I showed him to Hannah, she laughed and brought him in for a big hug. Then she bit his nose and eyes.

P.S. I had to install a seatbelt for Elmo the chair didn't come with one. LOL
