OK, So I just got back from Toys "R"US, I had this light bulb moment to go over there when a friend of mine called to say that the New Rockin' Elmo doll (see pic below) came with a free guitar and was on sale. I just had to get one, sooo....I called the store and they only had four (4) left so I rushed down to get one for my daughter. She  was with me No baby sitter ughhh!!!

So we get to the store and naturally she wanted everything in the store and yes had a fit, I got the doll and had to say that it was for my niece and Miss.B had a melt down because she wanted it NOW!!!
