Elmo Mania

I don't know what is all about Elmo that my 19-month old daughter is so crazy about. First, we don't really watch Sesame Street. Not until she asked about Elmo, who is the character printed on one of her blouses, a gift from her godmother. I was not a Sesame Street kid so I have really nothing to say about Elmo. We tuned in to PBS stations to catch Sesame Street and when it was not on, we turned to the Sprout on Demand. Trouble is, there is no Elmo show just by itself that my rather impatient daughter has to cry "Elmo, Elmo" through the show until it shows Elmo.

I found out from researching on the internet that Elmo is the puppet for toddlers on Sesame Street and they have the last part of the program just for Elmo. So what I do everytime my daughter asks for Elmo is just to turn the channel to Sprout on Demand and fast forward it until we get to the segment. So, there's no waiting and no crying. That works.
