Your children's obsessions!

[Inertia]

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.

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

HAHAHA Cai I'm so used to DD's tattoo and piercing obsession I'd forgotten about it!! DH and I have a few and DD LOVES seeing tattooed people when we're out and about lol, she points and yells, 'Tah-tooooo!' and if she gets a chance she'll go up and just grab the person and check out their ink lol

She is always grabbing pens that we leave lying around and scribbling all over her skin, telling us she's doing tattoos lol

...at least she hasn't tried 'tattooing' the walls or furniture yet, just herself and whoever will sit still long enough to endure her stabbing you with a pen lol

Gothmum .. it must be very interesting for them. My sisters has quite the tattoo collection and dd is totally nuts over it. A while back me and DH got some temp (not yet up to getting ink permentanty) and she is CONSTANTLY asking me to write on her ankle so she can have a tattoo. Even the socks with pictures on it is getting called tattoos.
If she visited her grandpa, she will come home and brag about her tattoos grandpa did on her - hehehe - and at bath time ask DADDY to come and wash it off.

OMG

Last night I send DH and dd to the video store to go and pick a movie for dd, because she was a good girl and took a nap on her own the afternoon. Anyway they come back, dd in tears, because DH did not want to get her Incredibles (we HAVE that and that's almost all she's been watching lately) so he took out Bolt. Anyway I had the hardest time trying to calm her down and actually "look at the doggie lovie"
She sat throught some of it and then when her father left to go close shop, we sat on the sofa and I talked her throught the last bit of the movie.

SO ... this moring the first thing she says is : "mommy I want to look at the doggie" GREAT!!!!! I overslept, so putting dd infront of the TV would help heaps. I even went to work without the normal cries and constant hugs and kisses (not that I totally mind being late because of hugs and kisses )
So DH phones me just now ... we have a problem. The DVD was hired and has to go back ... B U T little miss "I wanna watch Incredibles" have just changed her tune to "BOLT" I'm seeing potential for obsession here
Ya can't ever win!!!

I use to like Steve Irwin until my son got obsessed and he screams if he cant wear a button up shirt!

DS is obsessed with Diego and Pirates at the moment.

DD is obsessed with changing outfits. She wore 3 different outfits today (and leaves them on the floor while she changes in to the next one ).
