    Oh, great! I've been wanting to take Sabina to Sesame Place! My favorite character is by far Oscar the Grouch – he's the old school New Yorker in the bunch. šŸ˜‰ – Caroline Avakian

    My favorite character is Elmo. it just happens to be my sons favorite character also. Elmo is kind to everyone and loves to learn by asking questions about everything. My son has autism and is non-verbal but he also wants to know about everything and will point out things to know more about it. I hope I can take him to sesame place one day. thanks for the opportunity. Liz Gonzalez

    My favorite character happens to be my 6 year old daughter's favorite also – Abby Cadabby!
    Why do I like Abby? Because when my daughter sees her – her eyes light up the room and it's evident that she means the world to her!!! My daughter just LOVES fairies! She also loves repeating what Abby says and is often caught saying "That's so magical!" just like Abby!

    I love Elmo because he has a magnetic personality and he is very talented. My son Angel has been watching sesame street since he was a toddler and Elmo was also his favorite.

    Cookie Monster is my (and my 7 yr old son's) favorite! From his blue colored fur, to his big eyes and appetite…adorable. My son haven't met a cookie he doesn't like and is into monsters (he thinks Godzilla is cute). He could be Cookie monster's twin. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

    Love Sesame Place. My favorite character is Cookie Monster. When my son first began saying words he had a pair of sneakers w Cookie Monster on them. He would say "cookie knocker" and even though it was the wrong name it was music to my ears to finally hear his voice

    My son Elijah 3 loves Elmo because ever since he was little he was attracted to his bright red color fur and high pitch voice. Whenever I want my Elis attention I would sing Elmos opening segment song La, la, la, la,la el.is world…… I loved his smiled and how he would run to the TV whenever he would hear Elmo's voice

    Our family loves The Count. What can be better than a character that plays a giant organ, has bats for pets, and number sponsors the entire episode for the day?! When my son, Sam, turned 2 I even made him a Count birthday cake. He didn't eat a single bite of it but it was gorgeous!

    My favorite character would have to be Big Bird from when I was little. I remember going to the live shows when they came to town. I just took my daughter for the 1st time this past fall. Her favorite is Abby Cadabby we have tons of Abby stuff now. She will stop and watch anytime she is on.

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. ā€œWhy do my skates feel funny?ā€ I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet šŸ™„šŸ˜šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣

From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🄹

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤£
