"ellll-mo!"

Yes, Elmo... ugh! Until a week ago we had no Elmo in our house. However, my son somehow knows exactly who he is. Elmo has crept into his vocabulary as one of his first couple hundred words... sigh!

I was dismayed, but have decided it is okay. After all Elmo is a part of pop culture for little tykes today, the toddler equivalent to Brittany. Being literate in American culture is knowing the big stars, right?

Anyways, he already has the Elmo doll in his crib, and I'm sure the holidays will bring a spoiling of Elmo from the g-parents.

Just no McD's. I cannot handle the golden arches.
