Full Frontal Ernie

This post is mostly for Grandma Chris, who loves giving Ernie baths. But who doesn't love a good chubby naked baby?

This brown puppy towel was made especially for Ernie by Mom's former boss at American Quilt Study Group, Judy Buss. He also has a hooded bath towel given by cousin Teresa, that says "Little Bath Star" on it. Whenever Mom refers to her "Little Bath Star" during bath time, Dad always gives her a queer look. She has to remind him to read the towel, and that she's not questioning the legitimacy of Ernie's parentage.

Speaking of chubby and naked, check out the placement of Dad's t-shirt right behind Ernie. The one and only F.N.E.P. (Fat Naked Elf Page) seems like the perfect attire for bath time activity. Ernie likes the shirt, too. He's got some original art from F.N.E.P. creator Eric Kerkove in his nursery. You can visit the elves at: http://www.geocities.com/ekerkove/
