Help

Okay I have a little dilema with The Hulk that I'm hoping one or some of you can help me with. He has become obsessed with Elmo or "Melmo" as he calls him. He wants to watch him all the time. That part is easy to deal with. I can turn him on and shut him off when I want. But now the new dilema has started. When I put The Hulk to bed at night he fusses a little and then usually goes to sleep. Well the other day when he woke up from his nap I noticed that he had a clean diaper in bed with him. He got it out of the diaper drawer. Well now when I take him to bed he stops and gets a diaper and says "Melmo" and takes it with him to bed. His diapers have an Elmo face on them. So my child is snuggling with a "Melmo" diaper at night. The easy fix would be to get him a stuffed Elmo to sleep with. But he can't have stuffed animals or Elmo's because of his asthma. So any ideas of anything else that has Elmo on it that he could sleep with. There is an Elmo DVD case that he kisses all the time but I think that is to hard to sleep with...

So any ideas??? The idea of snuggling with a diaper seems a little weird to me...

What about Elmo pajamas or an Elmo blanket?

I think the diaper is cute! Maybe you could get a small Elmo and put it in the freezer during the day to kill all the dust mites.

Well I also think the diaper is cute...but you could look for a t-shirt, or some pj's. I'm sure there must be something out there that has "Melmo" on it!!

What if you take a plain white diaper (the kind you used to use for burpers) and sew a cloth picture of Elmo on it (or get an iron-on picture)? That way,it can be washed -- and if you make two of 'em, The Hulk can always have Melmo to snuggle.
