Sesame Street Style

Lake figured out that we have a celebrity living in our home. Yep. We do. He's red, furry, talks in a high pitched voice, and has a bright orange nose. You guessed it: Elmo! Lake and I watched Sesame Street on Friday morning for the first time together. I figure since he's 18 months, he can start watching a few children's programs, even though the American Society of Pediatrics says "no T.V. before 2 years of age", period. I'm sure by the time we have baby number three, I won't give a rip about what the Pediatric Society says. But, Big Bird never hurt anyone, right? It didn't take Lake long to recognize the Elmo on T.V. is the same Elmo that's in his toy box. He oohed and ahhhed at both Elmo's. He never ceases to amaze, or amuse me. Oh, and by the way...some of the same people who were on Sesame Street when I was a kid are still on the show; twenty-five plus years later! I guess Sesame Street never goes out of style. In fact, the girls singing the ABC song were dressed crazy cool. One of the young ladies had an entire arm length (sleeve-length) tattoo, and a nose ring. I was shocked. We've come a long way with our kid's programming. But, Lake dug it. And so did I. I think Lake and I'll watch Sesame Street more often. I may even take style tips from the singing ABC chicks.
