Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Is your kid obsessed with these too?

DD's favorite thing is going through the laundry and trying to put clothes on. She especially loves the tanks and my bras because she can more easily slip them over her head.

She's also still crazy about the trash can. I stupidly thought that one with a lid would help (HA!) but that just makes it more fun. I tried to put it under the cabinet but it's too tall. So since I haven't bought a new one yet, we fight over the trash can all.the.time. She will try to sneak in the kitchen, snatch something out of it and takes off running into her room.

And the newest addition to our "would you knock it off!!" category, the table lamps. She tests me - I know she knows not to play with them or get on the end table. So she will reach across the table. Then she'll touch the table. Then she'll put one leg on. She watches for my reaction the whole time. If I don't stop her then she climbs on it and starts playing with the lamps.

Anyone want to commisserate? :)

  • The garbage can, all the time,. I was just thinking about this yesterday.

    He's allowed to play on the table if he's supervised. But he loves being on there too. He hasn't gotten close to the end yet....

    Lol. The lamp thing is hilarious. DD tests me like that too, but with her it's the dog food/water. She'll hold her foot above the water bowl and make sure that I'm watching her. Then she puts her foot in the water. 

    She also loves the trash and has figured out how to push the button on the lid to get it open. I haven't found a solution yet, maybe a taller trash can. 

    As for the laundry, she loves to pull the clean clothes out and leave them laying all through the house.

  • Zachary is obsessed with the garbage can.  He looooves to throw away his diapers after diaper changes when we're downstairs - except he'll throw it away and pull it out to throw away again and again.  When we moved I got a really cool can from BB&B that has a locking lid.  It has been a lifesaver!

  • Um......I would like to commiserate on all three points. I kinda get the fascination with the clothes and maybe even the lamp (because she's also obsessed with light bulbs in general....weirdo) but the *trash can*? Really? Why I ask? It's gray. I don't get it. I clorox wipe it every night just so the exterior is germ free-ish because she manages to run her little mouth all over it before I can whisk her away every time.
