Shake Your Head

Lana loves music. She also loves Elmo. So watching the occasional Elmo video on YouTube is, as I already said, occasional: but not at all uncommon.

She’s been able to say “Elmo” (originally more like “Ah-mo”) for quite a while, so she’ll sidle up to me if she sees the laptop is open and use the word as a question.

“Elmo?”

“No, it’s not time for Elmo.”

But lately the conversation has evolved. Now it goes something like this:

“Elmo?”

“No, it’s not time for Elmo.”

“Ernie?”

I admit, the first time she did it I had to laugh.

So now Lana can identify Elmo, Abby, Ernie, Bert, and Grover (among others). And this video, which is one of Lana’s favorites, is a large part of why.
