love of elmo

yes, anna jae is in LOVE with elmo. it's hysterical! she doesn't really watch tv shows or anything, most of the time she plays on the floor with her toys. but the other day, we put on sesame street to entertain her when she was feeling a bit lazy with us, and she showed a genuine interest in elmo specifically. kicked up her feet and let out an excited sound.

well, yesterday she was crying because of her teething, and sesame street was on but ending -- which meant that "elmo's world" was on. i put it on to distract her and opted to dvr the remaining few minutes. well, she started letting out a yell every time elmo was on screen! only elmo too -- she seemed to like ernie and slimey the worm, but when elmo was on screen she just got so happy! the rest of the day yesterday was up and down -- teething is causing some serious mood swings -- and every time she needed a distraction i would put on those few minutes of elmo and she was just the happiest kid in the world. =D

so now i'm recording sesame street the 2 times a day it's on, and that way i have episodes to use during the day if necessary. i'm not really interested in anna jae watching television just yet, but sesame street is educational and she seems to love it, so i'm going to go with the flow on this particular show.
