Sesame Street Characters Will Be The Death of Me

When we took Drake to Sesame Street Live last month we bought him an 8-pack of Sesame Street Characters. Little did we know how obsessed Drake would become with these. For the first few weeks Bert and Ernie had to accompany us everywhere-the grocery store, all car trips, all over the house, even to bed for nap and nighttime.

Then tragedy struck....Bert went missing. For days Drake would yell out "Bert" over and over again as he carried around Ernie without his companion. Ben and I tore apart our house like crazy people looking for the little plastic man who was now controlling our life. We looked in the car, under pillows, got on our hands and knees and looked under all the furniture and still we had no luck. We were thinking about just kidnapping all the Sesame Street Characters to put an end to the madness when a miracle happened-Ernie found a new best friend.

Cookie Monster came to the rescue!!

Since then we've only had about 5 million breakdowns because one or both of the best friends can't be found. Drake is now seen all around town with Ernie in one hand and Cook in the other, happy as can be.

As for me-Let's just say the Great Sesame Street Kidnapping plan has not been laid to rest yet.

You better watch your back Ernie and Cookie Monster. Imma watching you!
