    LOL awwww cute, mom!! I'm sure she'll grow out of it and tears are part of life so is realising that wearing a tutu 24/7 is "dorky" (just wait till she's a teen)

    Why not think about taking her to ballet class?? That way you can let her wear her tutu's at an appropriate time.

    I think my dd is going to be a neat freak!! And that would be my doing. She wipes her mouth after every bite, asks me to wash her hands constantly and yesterday she was at playgroup and they had to stand on foamshapes ... she picked her's up and told me it's dirty, procceded to wipe it off with her hand and THEN she would stand on it. She also wiped her hands on her pants afterwards and gave me a "hands is dirty" look

    Goodluck

    My 3 year old is obsessed with Captain Feathersword. When I say obsessed I mean OBSESSED. He talks like him and if we call him by his name he wont respond until we call him captain.

    My 7yo loves cars.

    My nearly 3 yo is obsessed with collecting "Cars" movie cars - "What are we missing Mummy?" It doesn't help that DH is reliving his Star Wars figure collecting childhood, and loves the search.

    DD is a bit more keen on Barbie than what I'd like, but she doesn't really have any obsessions.

    DS on the other hand - he has an obsession with Cars (the movie...the toys...the jigsaw puzzles...anything!) that has been going on since he was 18 months old. He is now almost three and it shows no signs of abating. He has Car's jammies, Cars singlets, Cars toys and puzzles...and if you ask him what he would like to watch the answer is always - you guessed it - Cars. I am SO OVER THAT MOVIE.

    Apparently there is a sequel coming out early next year so I am not seeing any reprieve in the near future

    OMG! I have so many of those things around the house! Apparently he is still missing Tex from his collection. I keep saying it doesnt matter because he lost lizzie months ago. "Then we have to buy another lizzie too mum"...... I have spent a small fortune on these cars only to have Sam and Harry fight over who is playing with who!



    Harry however is obsessed with movies with talking animals. I swear he must think there is something wrong with our dog. Ice Age, Madagascar, Dr Dolittle, Over the Hedge, Bee Movie, Finding Nemo, Garfield... Every night there is some talking animal movie on in the bedroom taking over MY laptop! Don't turn it off - you wont get any sleep. He only just fell asleep 30 minutes ago... watching Madagascar 2. Oh, and he has cute little names for them all too. That one is "Ooh Ahh". The first one is Bobo. We still haven't worked out why. Then there is "Where da baby", "Scrat", "Line, Line, Line", "R.J", "Buzzy", "Momo".....

    The only movie he watches without talking animals.... talking Cars...

    DS changes obsessions every month or so. Right now it's Steve Irwin: we have on Wiggly Safari most days, he shouts "crikey" a lot, wrestles his stuffed toys to the ground, causes DH to sing Wiggles songs at work (mwahahaha) .

    Before that it was Tractor Tom, then Chuggington, Thomas The Tank, The Jungle Book... at least it changes regularly so there's no chance of DH putting up themed bedroom things: he was considering Thomas paper or Cars border... NO. Not in my house!

    [Charlotte is obssessed with her cloth wipes...carries them around everywhere, wipes thing, puts them in piles and then throws them around the room so she can collect and stack them again! lol

    She is a clean freak - wipes her hands all the time, her feet, her highchair table, her mouth...everything - she even cleans my walls sometimes! hehehe gets that from her dad

    And shoes- she will try and put her sandals on over her runners...wanted to SLEEP in her runners tonight! That took some coaxing to get them off lol and her gumboots...wonders around for ages saying "boots! boots!" and will throw a tantrum if she cant get them on because she has them on the wrong foot.

    I seem to spend most of the day taking shoes on and off and on again....

    come ot think of it, she asked to put on 5 - yes FIVE - pairs of socks the other day...wanted 6 but we couldnt get them on over the others! hehehehe
