[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children are also totally obsessed with Elmo. It is crazy. I bought them a bunch of Elmo things - books, stuffed Elmo, etc. it seems to be working. [/quote]

I think every toddler - age 1-2 goes through the Elmo obsession phase. Gone by age 3 or so. It's like a tornado that comes through and leaves you with lots of Elmo crap.[/quote]

What is it about Elmo?  I find the fascination so interesting. [/quote]

I agree. For us it went:

1-2.5 years - Elmo
2.5 - 3 - Yo Gabba Gabba
3-3.5 - Princesses

She's now 3.5 and seems to have more or less gotten over the Princess thing and it doesn't seem to have been replaced by anything in particular. I don't know where Elmo came from, honestly. I didn't give her videos to watch. We didn't have any Elmo toys (at first). The only thing I could think of was the diapers. The Pampers she was wearing had Sesame Street on the front of them. Other than that, daycare, though they didn't watch shows there either and the kids were young enough that they weren't super verbal about their obsessions. She now every once in a while will mention Elmo or Gabba, but not obsessively like before.
