I feel bad that DD is SO excited for Sesame Street
It's the highlight of her day. She knows what time it comes on, and a few minutes before it starts she gets really cranky until I turn the TV on. Then as soon as it's on she starts dancing and getting all excited, pointing to the TV and saying "Elmo".
The weird thing is that she only watches the first five minutes before she loses interest and goes off to play with her toys. She'll come back and watch for a minute or two throughout the show (usually when she hears a song come on). Towards the end, once she hears the "Elmo's World" song, she'll come back and start shakin' it to the song and will watch the last fifteen minutes.
We go out and do stimulating activities during the day, but apparently none of it compares to seeing Elmo on TV.
Anyone else have a Sesame Street addict?

My DS is the same way. It's something about that red, furry monster. He'll watch little parts of the show, but once Elmo's World comes on, don't dare change the channel! FYI- Target has an Elmo movie, Elmo in Grouchland, for $5. It's awesome, especially if you have to be in the car for an extended time.
This is EXACTLY what DS does. We have Sesame Street episodes on DVR, so usually what I do during the morning, is end up replaying Elmo's World. Like 3 or 4 times. He is obsessed with Elmo!
I feel guilty that he already watches TV regularly at 14 mos, but at least it's just Sesame Street and Barney. He only watches one show, maybe two per day, and he loves it... so I'm not a terrible mom, right?
