    my DS (nearly 2) is interested in the usual boy things - garbage trucks, busses and trains.

    He went through a baby stage last week (it has been on/off for some time, as we are expecting).... hope he likes the real thing!!!

    Opening and closing doors, whether they are big doors, cupboards, anything. Drives me batty!

    Here's hoping that Isaac's obsession with the vaccuum cleaner will mean he will clean your house until he moves out.

    boobs. mainly mine -.-;
    he also has an iphone obsession... so much so that i bought him one from woolies (a toy one) so he'd stop having the tanties when I took mine off him after he sneaks it! thankfully it has diverted the fascination from mine! (Luckily because it went for a dip in the pool yesterday)

    Ooohh, mines obsesed with fans too. Those huge 10mt diametre ones at bunnings (on the ceilings) have him in raptures.
    He also has a thing about the moon. "Moo moo moo" at anything in the sky, clouds, planes etc. I think it comes from Luna in Bear in the big blue house, he looovvves Luna.
    My favorite though is Buster the dog from Toy Story, he is only in #2&3 and only for about 2 mins total, but my DS always does the biggest belly cackle when he sees him.
    So cute

    He just reminded me of another one - clocks! We don't have a wall clock but he notices them in houses, shops & books without fail.

    VW Kombi 's ! He can spot one a mile away!
    The other day, he got all excited about helping fold the nappies! Then, when we were at a friends house a few doors up, it started to spit/drizzle rain. He was playing trains (a favourite pasttime), I said "Quick! It's raining! We have to take the nappies off the line!" He was out of her house before I was!

    Green. Loves green. Must have green plate, cup, straw etc.

    The other day I asked him to pack up his matchbox/hot wheels cars. I found a small pile of green ones left. Then another day, there were small piles of each colour car in different parts of the house... This is new! All the red ones were together, all the yellows together, all the blues together (you get the picture!)

    not so much a 'thing' but something DD does, and ive wondered for ages if other kids do it....would love to know....If she has a fav book or show or just something she thinks up, we all have to be a character and have to call each other the names etc..... for example, Bob the builder, which she currently loves, She is Bob, Im Wendy and DH is Scrambler and if we accidently use normaly names she will say ''im not ..... im Bob'' or she is Leo Lion, Im Tracy Tiger and DH is Mick the Monkey.

    If we are out and someone asks her name she will often give her 'pretend name' i.e 'Im Bob'.....which gets a few funny looks!!!!

    DD1 has a thing for airplanes, the airport, motorbikes, shoes and bags.
    She has more shoes than i do and chooses her own, she can spot an airplane from miles away and is hell bent on spending as much time as possible on our motorbikes.

    Outside of those slightly boyish but normal things DD1 has an issue with bottle tops, if she finds a bottle with no lid she gets frustrated and HAS to find the lid, she also does this if she finds a lid with no bottle.
    She has an issue at times with closing doors, if she walks through an outside door she MUST close it or make sure someone else does... i swear she borders on OCD at times.

    DD2 is shoes, the minute she spots them she wants them on and she will continually repeat SHOES until she gets them. Oh and apples.

    that is so cute, love his name for it!

    DD loves animals ('ammals') and as you know she is a real nature kid and when we go out for walks is always stopping to pick up little sticks/twigs until her hands are so full she can't possibly hold anymore! Then will suddenly dump them all and go off to pick a flower We have a fairly regular route and she knows where she can get out of the pram and walk by herself, there are some arrows painted on the concrete in a couple of spots that she has to point out everytime, and a small patch of sand on the path near the river which she *must* go and have a quick play in! Then a bit further along there are two stars engraved into the concrete so she has to point them out too..you get the picture!

    She loves books too, and is always going "story story story" and trying to drag me over to the lounge so we can read them.
    Think she is a bit obsessed with playing peek a boo lately too, but she is so cute when she does it you can't resist going along with it. Her little "where is hay-yey (Hayley)?" just sounds so gorgeous!

    Motorbikes were the first & are the main love for DS.

    Mowers, 'nippers' (whipper snippers), hot rods, cars, trucks, monster trucks! Woody & Buzz... there are too many!

    He loves to point out babies & tell me how cute they are. Mostly baby girls, 'like ours baby mum!'
