ReplyDeleteYou are not alone! My favorite one is the one where Elmo is singing with Alicia Keys "I Keep On Falling..." Briley loved that one!
ReplyDeleteI stopped by my friend Anna's house the other day to take her coffee (if you lived nearby, I'd do the same for you!), and as I walked in, Sesame Street was playing on TV. Her son was nowhere to be found. She sheepishly confessed that she watches it even when he's not around. And I find myself thinking I will probably do the same. She'd be happy to know she's not alone. :-)
