Sometimes the baby will simply stare blankly. Often, they seem captivated by Elmo and will attempt to grab his fur. The baby is usually completely baffled by Elmo's requests; in the "Balls" episode, for example, the baby simply sits and lets the ball fall on the floor. Regardless, each encounter ends with Elmo saying "Thank you, baby!" and rewarding the tot with an affectionate kiss. The format changes slightly in Season 35 episodes. Instead of talking to a baby on an Elmo's World set, the encounter takes place outside (or inside a house), with the baby sitting on a lawn or in a chair.
