I have just returned from over 31 hours in ELMO HELL!
From 8:15 AM yesterday morning, until 1:30 PM, and then again from 3:20 PM until 8:00 PM, the ELMO GOES TO THE POTTY dvd played in the living room!
Trooper Junior LOVES all things Elmo. As soon wakes up every morning or from a nap, the first order of business after changing his diaper, as he scoops up his stuffed Elmo, is: "Watch Elmo".
Of course he doesn't sit there and watch it all day long, it just has to be playing.
I know more about muppets going to the potty than I ever cared to know. Just in case you are interested, Elmo calls his bathroom experiences, "Pee-pee and poo".

Over the weekend, I learned about 20 other terms.
They talk about going to the potty, and sing about going to the potty. One is a real, bluesy go to the potty tune, sang to baby Elmo by his Daddy.
Another song is to the tune of, "Let's Fall In Love" (Birds do it....bees do it...even educated fleas do it...let's do it....lets fall in love) Just insert, "let's do it....let's use the potty"
Late yesterday afternoon with Elmo Goes To The Potty playing for the 15th time, Trooper Junior decides that ALL of his Elmos need to go to the potty.
He rounds them up (all 6 of them) and heads to the bathroom, screaming, "Me-Ma.....Me-Ma....Elmo go potty.....", then proceeds to hand a big stuffed Elmo to me.
Now, I may have to endure hour upon hour of Elmo dvd's, but I be good and dammed if I will hold one over the potty to take a squirt,pretend or otherwise.
"Elmo doesn't have to potty", I told the 2 year old Elmo fanatic, and was met with a big sad face, looking down to the floor.
"Okay....okay...." (holding Elmo over the potty)
"Good job", says Trooper Junior, praising Elmo and clapping, then hands me some tissue.
SORRY, but wiping a muppet's furry red butt is where Me-Ma draws the line, so a diversion was in order.
"You wanna call Mama?" I asked.
"Call Mama....call Mama...." He shouted, promptly forgetting about Elmo.
His parents FINALLY arrived back home this afternoon, and the first thing I see is Super Trooper, stepping out of the truck with ANOTHER stuffed Elmo!
"I'm going home", I said kissing both the "Grands" and hugging my daughter then racing for my car, dog tired,sick of Elmo while the potty song plays over and over inside my head.
Later Ya'll...^Belle^
