Elmo

Celie must have met the red furry guy at school, but ever since she discovered his existence, her enthusiasm for everything Elmo has only grown.  "El-MO! El-MO!" she shouts with such happiness, in a kind of deep, husky voice that she seems to reserve for only the most exciting things.  At first, I didn't know what she was saying because we don't have any Sesame Street stuff around the house yet.  But when she started hugging and kissing a spare diaper with his image printed on it, I realized it was time to invest.
