We don't watch much TV with our lo, we have only ever watched Bubble Guppies and one episode of Sesame Street a while ago. Today I pulled out a shirt for our lo to wear and it had Elmo on the front (thanks, T-Mom!) She saw it and was SO excited to see "Elmo!!!" She said it, not me. So, I sent her to daycare in it and she pointed at her shirt for them and said "Elmo!!"
How does my kid know who Elmo is!??! Daycare?

LO didn't watch TV (except sports) until she was 2 and she definitely knew about Elmo! Our daycare has Elmo books in their rotation!

E definitely comes home from daycare knowing things we never taught him. Character names, what juice is, how to spit, etc

Ellie wasn't even IN daycare. It's just ambient-- band-aids, mylar balloons at the grocery store, clothing, books... Ellie knew all kinds of characters and never had any screen time (no tablet, no TV, no iPad, no smartphone, no computer-- nothing) until she was 3.5. It just is. I don't think it's bad, but it is sort of funny. And people think you're a big liar pants because *obviously* your child is watching all the television.

My kids watch plenty of TV but they don't watch Sesame Street (they just can't stay interested... I think they are still too young) but both knew who Elmo was at a very early age. It's a really easy thing to say and he's a very easy face to identify! There are probably tons of books, pictures to color, decorations, t-shirts, etc at daycare. oh and be prepared to wash that t-shirt many times a week now...

I bet you she remembers from the one episode of Sesame Street! Elmo is a very, very memorable character! Plus his face is everywhere at Target, the bookstore, the supermarket, etc. 
So cute.
