Elmohhh!!!

HG's passion for Elmo continues, though lately she seems very partical to Ernie and Bert too, or as she says "erniebert". Here she is wearing her beloved Elmo slippers which were a present from her Bubbe. As you can see they colour coordinate perfectly with her favourite letter pajamas.

This began on her visit to the States because instead of the usual animal pictures, the American nappies had Sesame Street characters. She is used to Ima and Abba telling her about the animals, so of course she asked about the funny creatures on her new nappies. While she doesn't watch tv, she has seen a few Sesame Street videos, but didn't seem to really identify specific characters until she saw them on her nappies.

Ironically one of the first toys she was given as a newborn was a baby Elmo, but until recently she was blissfully unaware of who he was... Now she is thrilled to have a cuddly baby Elmo to keep her company when she goes to sleep - along with her bear, rabbit, fish and 2 armadillos.
