...your son learned to say "Elmo" shortly after "mama", "dada", and "ball" (thanks to the plentiful toys)....your son then learned to say "Ernie", "Bert", "Bigba", and "Cooka" before he learned to say the names of his siblings....your son says all of the above references about a thousand times a day....you are watching a commercial for Advair and you finally realize why that actress telling you about her asthma looks so familiar: she's Elmo's pal "Gina"....you occasionally have trouble sleeping during the night because the theme song to "Elmo's World" is cycling through your mind like a psychotic episode-inducing broken record....one of the reasons that the theme song from "Elmo's World" is going through your head at all hours of the day is that your son has learned to sing (I use that word liberally) "la la la Elmo waaaad".
Pretty soon I'll be having dreams that Maria and Luis are my mom and dad and Gabi is my sister, we have a goldfish named Dorothy and we live next door to Mr. Noodle. And we'll all be singing "Elmo's World" in Spanish.
What? You don't know who all those people are?
Someone make it stop.

We moved today and I so needed a laugh - thanks! Gabrielle likes elmo and I'm guilty of humming a little la la la, la la la occasionally. ;) -bridgette
Congrats on finally making the move!! Elmo will keep Gabrielle company while you unpack. :) Drop me an email with your new email address - would love to get together soon!
and I'm sure Daniel's singing in his "signature style" which would be at 600 decibels...does SFO complain about his yelling? :)
Luckily his singing is on-key and volume-controlled. But we have now dubbed his signature scream as "the car alarm". aaaaaaaAAAAAH! aaaaaaAAAAAH!
