A lovable furry creature.
The question: Elmo is ...
D. Other - Elmo is the only thing my daughter will play with, watch on TV, the only way she will take a bath is to wrap her in her elmo towel, even the only song that puts her down for a nap is LA LA LA LA ELMO's SONG. We have to listen to the best of Elmo in the car every where we go. The only books she will choose to have me read to her have Elmo on the cover. Her birthday is going to be ELMO and her WHOLE Room is being changes from her babyroom to ELMO for her. SHE IS ADDICTED TO ELMO. truth be told Elmo is a lot easier to stomach than Spongebob for me! Please pick her she would flip out getting to see ELMO LIVE!

A - A lovable and furry creature!
Do I dare admit that I actually love Sesame Street and miss that being bigger than Yo Gabba Gabba!
My daughter likes Elmo and all, but really I'd love the opportunity to let her get a chance to love him more. I mean, I learned a lot from Sesame Street and Elmo is a favorite.
Love to win something fun like this and I can already see myself singing along with my cheesing little toddler too!

B. THE LOVE OF MY CHILD'S LIFE....HE IS 19 MO, AND TOTES AN ELMO "HEAD" BASKET ALL OVER THE HOUSE. HE GETS AN ELMO AT EVERY HOLIDAY, THE LAST WITH BUNNY EARS. JUMPS UP & DOWN AT 10:38 AM WHEN ELMO COMES ON DURING SEASAME STREET WEEKDAYS!! LAYS/SITS IN AN ELMO FLIP-OUT SOFA.
BIG 4 YR OLD BROTHER, TAUGHT HIM THE LA LA LA LA SONG.
A. A loveable furry creature.
A. A loveable, furry creature- When Elmo's World comes on, my 18 month old daughter dances to the music. She also has an Elmo Live doll that she hugs and enjoys putting her hand in his mouth when he talks.
"Melmo" as my son Drew calls him, is the love of my child's life. Elmo laughs, dances and tells jokes with Drew, cheers him on when he sits on his potty chair, goes "clang, clang, clang! here comes the fire truck!" when he drives through his mini fire station, and wraps softly around him when Drew plops into his Elmo chair to watch cartoons. Elmo is never far from Drew and always brings an unmistakable smile to his little face. The opportunity to see him live would thrill him beyond his wildest dreams. We have our fingers crossed that he will win!
A. A loveable, furry creature that makes my daughter's face light up and her body start to dance!
B. The love of my child's love

B!
A - loveable
A. Loveable..... My two year old just adores Elmo!!!!!
A-a furry loveable creature. My son loves Elmo.
D:Other... Elmo or Emmo (as Mr. Jayden calls him) is a loveable, furry creature who is the love of my child's life!!! It all started with the "Tiickle Me Elmo Extreme" my husband bought before he was born. That was his FIRST favorite toy and now everywhere we go, it's all about ELMO! I can't wait to take him to see his furry, best friend!
A. A loveable, furry creature that my daughter loves. She likes anything with Elmo on it and if she gets something with the Sesame Street theme and it doesn't have Elmo in it she is upset and everytime she looks at it she asks where Elmo is!
My grand-daughter loves Elmo & sesame street. So, do I it's a classic. I love the way Elmo teaches kids about everything from animals to counting using his imagination in Elmo's world. My grand-daughter can't get enough. We have purchased her 2 different tickle me elmos. Everyday she stops by my house and the first thing she says is "G'andma please may I watch Elmo. I record sesame street on dvr so she can watch him whenever she wants. Seeing Elmo live would make her day and mine too. "Elmo is definitely the love of my grand-daughter's life. "
Elmo is A & B - Who couldn't love Elmo - he's so cute and goofy. My daughter loves him and must watch him on the DVD player whenever we go on a road trip.
B. Definitely - sorry to the other characters, but in our house, there IS no Sesame Street without Elmo. And not a day goes by that I'm caught by my co-workers singing 'Elmo's World' (sounds embarassing, I know, but they're used to it by now - I think).
B. The love of my child's love. Elmo was my son's first word. As soon he sees the beginnings of Seasame Street, he starts screaming Elmo, Elmo, Elmo. While my daughter has been a little scared of our Elmo TMX, my son loves it and will tickle him incessantly. And until recently, he has called all the characters Elmo, but now he will distinguish Big Bird and Grover.
B. The love of my child's love
My 2 year old LOVES Elmo! He has about 14 of them, a ton of videos, and sings along with the songs. He gets so excited when he sees Elmo!!! His face lights up whenever he sees or hears Elmo!

B-Its the first character both my kids fell in love with. For both of them, they knew him only from books and were hooked before they ever saw him on TV!
A. A loveable, furry creature who my daughter thinks is too cute!
A. Lovable creature.
I have two kids. One is 5 and a long time lover of Emmo. She loves it all-Dorothy, Mr. Noodle, Email from Computer, the songs. She was even given an enormous Elmo at birth...the love was destiny.
Now, my son is 18 months old and his MoMo love is just budding.
His sister is seeing to it that he learn the nuances of each episode. haha.
Thx for the contest!
A. A furry loveable monster who captivates my granddaughter.
B. The love of my child's love
My child LOVES Elmo and for him every puppet he see is called Elmo, he put his Tickle Me Elmo to sleep in his bed, kiss him, and say nite nite... and good morning... he is too cute, he has an Elmo's backpack that i fill up with his stuff (pampers, (elmo's) wipes, toys, and snacks) and he NEVER get out of the house/car/stores/everywhere without it.
B. The love of my child's love. Gabby (2) has tea parties with elmo everyday after they both have put their coats. She gets upset that he want keep his coat on so we have a buy a baby doll coat that will fit.
Our precious 2 year old granddaughter absolutely loves Elmo...he's her buddy. Even when we're shopping at Target she's looking for products that have Elmo's picture on them. It's so much fun to see her winning smile every time she sees Elmo. He's definitely the love of her little life...and I'm a fan, too!!!
D. Other
Elmo is a little red guy that lives in sesame street and so happens to be famous!!! For us is THE MOST FUNNIEST AND LOVELY CHARACTER WE'VE EVER SAW! My daughter loves it and I love it, too!
A. A loveable, furry creature.
My 1st daughter is 5. When she was 2 she loved Elmo. Now she enjoys teaching her little 2 year old sister all about him. They both have had Elmo birthday parties and I know they would just flip if they knew they were going to see him.
D - Other. The reason why Seasame Street is great for toddlers and preschoolers. My son watches for the first 30 minutes, then yells for his 22 month old sister to come when Elmo comes on. And yes, that's why we have two Elmo couches in our family room!
Other. Elmo is infatuating. My great grandson, age 14 months, is infatuated with Elmo. He stands in front of the TV to watch Elmo. His favorite video is Elmo and his friends in the country riding a horse. His latest video is Elmo using the potty. My grandson will watch the videos from start to finish without getting up.
Elmo is a loveable, furry creature who my 3yr old loves seeing on TV
A and B: A lovable, furry creature who is the love of my daughter's life. Elmo is a frequent guest at our tea parties.
Tea for Three
Come and sit with me and we'll have tea
And talk of things that were and things that are yet to be
Of places we will go and things that we will see
My dear little daughter and me
A little wooden table With chairs for two or three
Yes, of course you may bring your Elmo And place him on my knee.
Cherub hands dimpled daintily, clutching ivory cup of tea
Twinkle laughter owns the moment Baby faced & full of glee
If I live to be a hundred I shall never richer be
Then when I shared your dazzling presence
And together we sipped tea.

A - loveable and furry. If he would only remain her hero in life......We could all use a little more Elmo don' you think?
Mother of 5 and 2 year olds.
A. A loveable, furry creature
A. A loveable, furry creature
who both my children would love to go see!!
Elmo is A and C!!! My 2 year old boy is always wanting to watch ELMO, lalalalalala....ELMO's WORLD!! He loves Elmo and all the other Sesame Characters....he sings the Elmo's World theme song randomly i.e. eating dinner, in the car, playing outside or in the bath... Elmo not only is funny to him, but he is helping with my little boy to learn his ABC's and 123's...I am amazed that my little boy who just turned 2 is learning so much by watching Elmo, Dorthey and Mr. Noodle and all the cute little children on the show(tv is not the only way we teach things but Sesame Street is a great tool for learning as well!!). I hope that my little one has this opportunity to win and know all his ELMO dreams will come true....oh and yes he loved the Elmo Easter basket!!!
Thanks,
Mommy of one excited Elmo fan!!
A member of our family!
A. A loveable, furry creature.
My 18 month old lights up when she see's elmo. She has taken over her older brother's "Elmo knows your name" doll...even though it still says "Hello Lachlan" (Her brother's name), as we can't find the CD to change the name to her own :-) lol I have ordered a new CD so we can personalize it for her now.
B. The love of my child's love
She has an Elmo doll, several Elmo books and is an avid Sesame Street fan. She has several Sesame Street sippy cups and had Abby Cadaby plates, balloons and napkins at her birthday party.
F- All of the above? My baby girl loves him, my little boy used to love and now just enjoys him, I can stand him only in small doses, but he is fun and I know the kids would love to see him live!
A for now, but probably B as my little girl gets older.
A - loveable and furry, and sooo cute!
C. Incredibly annoying, but I put up with him for my kids
A. A loveable furry creature
A: A loveable furry creature
Elmo is an awesome little red furball who is the apple of my daughter's eye. She'll be outgrowing him soon so I'm enjoying him before that happens. BTW Mom's favorite is Telly, Dad's is Grover and my 8 year old just says he doesn't know (we all know he does but that's not cool!).
my younder son loves elmo and my 1 yearold is following in his foot steps...
D. Absolute joy for my children!
My 2 year old can't get enough of Elmo and thankfully, my 4 year old still loves sesame street so it's on every morning.
Elmo is absoulty the love of my 19-month olds life. Anywhere we go Zach can spot Elmo (on balloons, posters, etc...) and shout an excited "EMOOO"! My seven year old daughter (who at this point still completly loves her baby brother) will turn on UNCTV and watch Elmo with Zach. Zach feel in love with Elmo at a function we went to for children with deployed parents. My husband is away with the Army and Sesame Street has special DVD's for chidlren who's parents are deployed. Elmo is featured as he deals with his dad leaving. We watch that particular DVD many times and both of the kids enjoy it! Thank you Sesame Street as you reconginze those who don't just serve in the military but thinking of the families left behind!
Zach must really be excited because somehow he has managed to send my message twice and I can't figure out how to delete the second message. He can't wait to see Elmo!
a. Loveable furry Creature
Oh to see my son's face the first time he saw Elmo. Priceless. He was so excited!
A. A loveable, furry creature
b. The love of my child's love.
My son will be 2 and he absolutely loves Elmos...Knows the songs on Elmo's world and even wears his elmo tennis shoes.
A. A loveable, furry creature Our daughter loves Elmo and especially Mr. Noodle!
Aloveable furry creature
ArbonneMom chose D. Other - Elmo is a rock star. His groupie, Dorothy, hangs on his every word and deed. He plays an amazing array of sports and games with finesse. He is a composer, a vocalist and a concert pianist eg the ubiquitous "Elmo's Song." And, the best thing of all, "Elmo Can Use the Potty!"
Carolyn Meiners
The love of my childs life (love). My son sean-riley is a uniquely stubborn toddler,. until he see's elmo that is!!! He turns from stubborn toddler to loveable kissing the tv set toddler the moment he sees elmo!!!
A- A loveable furry creature. It doesn't hurt that Elmo happens to be my son's favorite color... RED.
Elmo is a loveable furry creature. Whom is also the love of my childrens love. I have 1yr. old twin boys, also a three year old daughter that would absolutely love to be apart of such a wonderful event. We dont get to experience things like this often, with me being a young mother of six we cant afford many things like this. My husband I try to make sure they have memorable experiences and I think this would be a great one for my youngest three who have not yet been able to enjoy anything quite like this.
p.s. I wouldn't mind seeing this either i've been wathing elmo sense i was a kid and he's finally growing up. I guess that means it's time for me to do the same.
Elmo is a furry lovable creature! My son seemed to be more into him than my daughter, but I guess it is because he was more into TV than she is, not sure. He was a great addition to Sesame Street, but I still like all the oldies but goodies like Big Bird and Cookie Monster!
C. Incredibly annoying, but I put up with him for my kids. Sorry! BUT- I don't mind watching Elmo with my 3 year old, Koi. Elmo, or "Melmo" as she calls him, just has a special way about himself. He is able to reach my daughter in a way noone else can. Since Koi is autistic, she doesn't speak very much.... BUT- when Elmo is on, it's just incredible to see her eyes light up as she shouts "Melmo!" That in and of itself is worth its weight in gold. I thank Sesame Street and all of the Furries on the show for helping to bring my child out of her shell. So yes, although Elmo is quite annoying- but I don't mind watching him over and over (and over). Well, not too much. He has helped bring my little girl out into the social world. It's amazing that a small, red, furry (and raspy-voiced) little monster could do so much!
A. a loveable and furry creature.
All my six children have loved Elmo. My ten year old's first word was Elmo. My six year old son still watches Sesame Street on You Tube and laughs and laughs. Now my baby has gotten into Elmo and we got him a singing Pizza Elmo that we all love to listen to. who doesnt need a good look at Elmo at the end of a long hard day to make you smile?
B. Elmo is the love of my child's love. He wakes up to Elmo, and goes to sleep with Elmo's bedtime stories. Elmo is definitely a part of our family.
D. All of the above PLUS the one who got my preschooler potty trained ... get "Elmo's Potty Time" if you are in that age range!!!
Elmo is all of the above and more, not only is he a loveable furrycreature and the love of my childs love he is also a teacher and my personal babysitter, once my son sees him on tv he is hooked.
ELMO IS THE LOVE OF MY CHILDS LIFE. SHE HAS 8 STUFFED ELMOS. SHE HAS THE ELMO LIVE AND THE TICKLE ME ELMO. SHE HAS SEVERAL SIPPY CUPS WITH ELMO ON THEM. CLOTHES WITH ELMO AND ABBY ON THEM. AND HER BEDDING IS ELMO ALSO. SHE HAS THE ELMO TOILET TOO. SHE LOVES ANYTHING ELMO. SHE IS ALWAYS WATCHING SESAME STREET EVERY MORNING WHEN HE COME ON IN ELMO'S WORLD. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT GIFT FOR HER.
A. A loveable, furry creature!
My grand daughter who will be 2 in June loves Elmo!
A. A loveable, furry creature, that makes my son laugh!
D: Other
Elmo helped me survive as a single mom trying to finish my final semester in engineering at NC State! Elmo helps me drag her out of bed in the morning. He even makes sure we eat our vegetables!
A. He is really furry all over his body. He is a really furry animal. He is Sesame street. Mommy also got Elmo for her birthday, he sits in the kitchen and sings Yummy, Yummy that's a pizza pie
B. The love of my child's life - It was the first word she said.
D. Other
Elmo is the first thing my son knew by name. He has since named his fish Elmo, sleeps with his alphabet Elmo, and walks around with his Elmo slippers (on his hands). If his nighttime Elmo is not on the right side of the bed, he cries until it's right. But, that's okay, we all like to have things just right. Plus, I grew up with Sesame Street, and still watch it, even though they have added so mamy characters. It's wonderful. And my son is 2, so doesn't have the clear speech, but walks around singing "Lalalala,lalalala, it's Elmo's song"....it's so adorable. He teaches him so much,and I am grateful for the few minutes that he will sit quiet and actually listen. Hey, 2 is a VERY active age! So, thank you Elmo!
A. A loveable, furry creature
My 18 month old doesnt go anywhere without her Elmo doll!! We saw the Sesame Street at Seaworld Orlando and she shouted his name so loud that the audience around us burst out in laughter!
My children love ELMO! I would have to say B for my answer:) They first learned of Elmo from their Pampers diaper, and now we have puppets, stuffed animals, books, etc. with this loveable furry animal on them!
D. Other: Elmo is a wonderful person I love elmo since my little girls were babies they have the Mr. Noodle Elmo and the Potty Elmo. Now I have my little boy I passed everything to him. And he loves Elmo as much as we did but he calls Elmo Melmo. It is so cute. He is two years old and I would just love it if we could win those tickets so he could see Melmo, his biggest fan. He has a little book, storybook, puzzle, stuffed elmo, blanket, sheets, and costume of Elmo. He watchs Elmo everyday in the morning. This show will be his first show ever. The Potty Elmo he sits with when he goes potty. Thats a great toy for every child. Every time he plays Mr. Noodle Elmo we sing and dance his song. Of course I sound like Elmo and he doesn't but thats okay. The greatest thing we all love is ELMO!
A. A loveable, furry creature My daughter talks about him all the time.
Elmo is both A and B. He is a very loveable, furry creature and he is very much loved by my child.
When G first started talking he would refer to Elmo as "Mo" but now he says "Elmo" and gets very excited when he sees him.
A. A loveable, furry creature
Elmo is my nephew's (Jacob) favorite Sesame Street character. Having been diagnosed at two years with mild autism, we were very excited to discover that Jacob would spend hours (if allowed) watching Elmo on television. Now at four years of age, Jacob will be sharing the event with his mother, father and cousin if selected to receive the family four pack. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
B.The love of my child's life. He has adored Elmo for 2 years now and always goes to see him when he is in town. We own Elmo everything, videos, stuffed dolls (at least 5 of them), t-shirts, swimsuits, countless books, phones etc...I have spent a lot of money on Elmo and feel that I have earned some free tickets!
A loveable furry creature. I think my son became infatuated with him by accident. My older son likes Nemo, and the little one started saying Elmo instead. But it stuck, and since Elmo is "real", he developed an attachment!
A & B. Elmo is a lovable, furry creature who is the love of my childs life.

I think Elmo is a lovable, furry creature. Answer A. Jack loved him a lot at the age of 2, but now I think Jack just thinks he's loveable, furry creature.
B. The love of my child's love
My 2 year old loves Elmo... It is so wonderful to see her face light up when she seems him!
"Melmo" is A and B: A loveable, furry creature who is the love of my daughter's life! We listen to our "Melmo" CD in the car every day - it says my daughter's name 72 times and she loves it!
A loveable furry creature who has entranced and entertained both of my children from the first day they saw him!
The question: Elmo is ...A. A loveable, furry creature. Loveable, that's just what Elmo is to my 2 yr old grandson, Tyler. They eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. Oh can't forget and sleep together. Elmo is his bestess (I know- not a word) friend. To be sure Elmo is always around, he has a twin, one for Tyler's house and one for Nanna's home. His first birthday party was Elmo all around. Elmo is the best!!
A. A loveable, furry creature
B. The love of my child's life
D. My son's best friend! He takes Elmo everywhere, Elmo taught him how to potty train!!! We love the shows, videos and books. We saw Sesame Street Live last year and he's talked about it ever since! We are planning a trip to Sesame Place ever since he saw the episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 where they went he's asked everyday to go!
Elmo is...
A furry loving creature. My son has had this great love for Elmo the first time he saw him, around age 1. Since then, our family has grown to accept Elmo as a thing of silliness and playfulness. My son makes me draw Elmos for him everywhere: on the sidewalk, with crayons, even on dry erase boards. I try to limit his watching of Sesame Street, and my husband is the one who has the Elmo voice down. I use Elmo as a tool to teach my son. But the most endearing quality Elmo possesses is his ability to touch a wide range of ages and races. I'll admit, as a parent I originally found him incredibly annoying, but once you see him for what he is: a child's friend, you find him absolutely adorable. Although the reason I know my son loves Elmo so much is because at night I have had to give Elmo the "baba" (our code for nursing). I have frequently been nursing my son on one side, and his Elmo doll on the other. Even my husband has had to nurse Elmo. Our whole family gets a kick out of this.
My son is willing to share the most important thing in his life with Elmo-- the ability to nurse. And this is how I know my son is deserving of such a wonderful prize!
