    DS and the microwave

    He loves our microwave. He has had a soft spot for it since he was 8 months old. He likes opening it, try and put things in and then closing the door. Thank goodness we have a baby gate going into the kitchen. I even bought him his own little play one, but he still loves playing with the real one.

    Does your LO have any similar obsession? :-)

    our DS fell in love with the microwave at the apartment we rented when on holidays last year ... he can't reach the one at home!

    but this one has a knob/dial that made a beeping noise when you twist it, and lights flashed, etc ... not dissimilar to a lot of toys!!

    I'm quite glad he can't reach our microwave at home ... !

    Fans. Ceiling fans, pedestal fans, pin wheels, pretending to use his hands as a fan... He also likes the fridge. Will not leave the darn thing alone!

    We had the same thing. I thought it cute until he smashed my microwave plate.

    Now it's out of reach.

    The phone, and making the missed call message play. He thinks it's hilarious. And he loves the water dispenser on the fridge, as well as just having the fridge door open. Thankfully he can't open it himself but his big brother is also obsessed with the fridge and they will both stand there with the door open just looking inside it...grrrr! But I often go into the kitchen and there's a puddle of water in front of the fridge. Thankfully we too have a baby gate on the kitchen or I might go nuts!!

    Haha 3littlemokeys, my DS's latest obsession is pressing the replay button on the answering maachine...

    But, the biggest obsession so far, has been turning most of the lights on around the house. Just lights in general, house lights, street lights, car lights....

    DD loves the microwave! It's just at her height. Luckily for me she hasn't worked out how to open it yet, but whenever she hears it going she rushes from wherever she is in the house to see what is inside (something for me Mum????)
