Elf on the Shelf and some bath

We have an elf coming to our house!  You named him Statue the elf.  He reports to santa every night and returns every morning before you wake. You are delighted to find out where he appears every morning and sit close to him making sure not to touch him. "as he might lose his magic" 

This morning you found him on the couch checking out some cartoons.  You plopped down next to him to watch.
