Or Sesame Street in general. Wagon Jr. was SERIOUSLY into Dora for a long time, then moved on to the Wiggles, and now it's all about Bubble Guppies and superheroes (specifically Iron Man). LMW is mostly just into Bubble Guppies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307255 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 08:48:24 +0000 matador84 1307255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he's never even seen Sesame Street. I don't know what channel it comes on here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307254 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 08:48:00 +0000 Rubies 1307254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2 years old and is currently in her Elmo phase. She LOVES Elmo on tv or Youtube but hates Elmo toys/dolls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307216 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 08:25:15 +0000 looch 1307216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, no Elmo obssession, but I think that's because we didn't expose him to it. I can see why it is attractive to toddlers, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307214 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 08:23:56 +0000 winniebee 1307214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T has loved elmo for about a month but I didn't really introduce elmo before that. He's 19 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307199 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 08:15:11 +0000 yin 1307199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I think LO's Elmo phase lasted about 9 months. He started getting into Daniel Tiger and forgot about Elmo. Now he loves Daniel Tiget, Thomas, and Busy Town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307163 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 07:41:04 +0000 lavender 1307163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just getting over her Elmo phase now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307126 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 05:24:57 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1307126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I tried letting her watch Elmo this morning. She kind of liked it, but halfway through she started asking for Curious George. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307104 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 03:34:59 +0000 Dandelion 1307104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. DS goes through a lot of fandom phases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307095 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 02:37:58 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1307095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy the DVDs! We don't ever see any commercials. We also use Netflix which streams sese street. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307073 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 01:40:36 +0000 mrbee 1307073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I think most people get their Elmo from YouTube and iTunes these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307070 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 01:38:45 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1307070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't really watch TV and refuse to pay the ridiculous TV fee they have here so we only get like 4 channels. There's no Elmo unless I look for him on Youtube. But a Potty Time theme sounds pretty good to me ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307054 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 01:20:19 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1307054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has loved Elmo for months now!!! He is 15 months going on 16.</p> <p>Is anyone else almost slightly disturbed by how tuned in their kid gets. My son will stare at the screen with such intensity and smile wide. He loves it almost too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1307010 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 00:42:56 +0000 Rescuemom10 1307010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in it right now. She is only 10 mos but that's what I put in when I need to get stuff done. She sees anything elmo and her face lights up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1306930 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 23:36:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 1306930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's crazy into Elmo right now (almost 17 months) and probably has been for a month or two? We watch Elmo's Potty Time at least once a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1306887 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 23:04:15 +0000 autumnlove 1306887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it started recently. She doesn't watch SS or videos but she recognizes him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1306875 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 23:00:46 +0000 lemondrop 1306875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes- we are right smack in the Elmo phase now. He will call out his name anytime he sees him in stores or when changing his diaper. If any of the Elmo songs come on Sesame Street he will stop whatever he's doing and come running over. It started at about 22 months and he will be 2 in 10 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1306867 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:57:19 +0000 BeachMama 1306867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 19 months and has been in LOVE with Elmo for a couple months now. I don't even know where she learned about it since at the time, we'd hardly let her watch TV. Now if she sees my iPad she wants Elmo. If it helps me get dinner cooked without a tantrum, I'm all for it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1306862 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:54:21 +0000 HLK208 1306862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but he was crazy about Thomas for along time! Now he's into superheroes.</p> <p>DD hasn't seen SS yet so hopefully we can hold off on introducing Elmo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1306836 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:44:42 +0000 SeptMomma12 1306836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, we are majorly in it now (15 months). Been going on since 5 months when he was in the hospital and my parents bought him a talking/singing Elmo doll. One of his first words was "Bo," which means Elmo in his world. It was a very Elmo Christmas this year!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-have-an-elmo-phase-how-long-did-it-last#post-1306829 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:40:32 +0000 mrbee 1306829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie was obsessed with Elmo... but it wore off and he got really into Dora and Diego! Now he's not into them, and is super into the Rescue Bots and superheroes. Olive was also obsessed with Elmo... but is in the process of losing interest in the big E. Now she's into Dora too!</p> <p>It's amazing to me how intensely kids can feel about Elmo, and then how they lose interest after a certain amount of time. I would've thought that the Elmo phase would last longer, but I guess kids are fickle customers!</p> <p>Did your LO have an "Elmo phase"? How long did it last? </p>
