When my four year old daughter asked for us to buy her Elmo Live, I thought that the only reason she wanted it was because she’d seen it on a television commercial. I’m not big into buying toys for the kids that I haven’t seen for my own eyes, so I was put off from purchasing it.
I went onto some video websites and found some Elmo Live reviews that were already posted up. I read them and was surprised to see so many positive reviews for this toy. I guess I shouldn’t have been, but for some reason I figured that the more high tech it was, the worse the reviews would be. I remember when Tickle Me Elmo came out, the reviews were fairly mixed, but those reviews were mostly from parents who were annoyed at hearing Elmo giggle and laugh. Personally, I can see how they would be. Some kids toys are just unbearable at times.
I finally gave in and purchased Elmo Live and couldn’t have been happier with my purchase. My daughter absolutely loves this toy. It’s the first toy she checks on when she wakes up in the morning, and the last toy she hugs at night. It is the only toy that has to be packed when she goes to grandmas, and is the one that she doesn’t want to share with any of her friends when they come over to visit. Elmo Live has been the best purchase I’ve made in awhile when it comes to toys, and I’m mad that it took so much for me to buy it! I may wind up purchasing a second Elmo, just in case something (heaven forbid) happen to this Elmo! My only complaint? I hate having to pay for batteries, and buying tons of batteries for this seems annoying, even though they seem to last long.
