What is your toddler's current obsession?

Our son LOVES light switches right now.  We can't walk by one without him wanting to turn it off and on and see the light come on.  It's pretty funny, actually.  He also loves the remote control for our bedroom's ceiling fan/light, and knows which button to push to turn the fan or light on and off.

What is your toddler obsessed with these days?

Bags...any type. My purse or paper shopping bags! She also loves dish towels! She gets my clean ones out and drags them around.

Totally agree--light switches

Also cars--anytime there's a car anywhere (outside, in one of his books, on tv, etc), he points and yells "AR!"  Kinda like a pirate, but cuter IMO.  

Oh and turning the TV on and off.  Does it all.the.time.

When we're in the kitchen he'll come up to us and start whining for us to pick him up, he loves to open and close the microwave door. Besides that, he loves to throw things across the room. Fun!!

Sammy-Mae

A match box car she got this summer.  She wanted to take it to bed last night.  She also is totally obsessed with brushing her teeth.  If we leave the bathroom door unlocked she runs in and climbs up on the stool and starts brushing her teeth.   She is magnetically attracted to the bathroom sink and her tooth brush.

Kaitlyn is in love with belly buttons.  It's very odd but when she's nervous, listening to a story, or upset she'll be playing with her belly button.  I've even seen her do it in her sleep.  She loves showing anyone and everyone where her belly button is, which works for her since it goes everywhere she goes.

Socks. She wants to take them off, and then put them on.. but she hasn't figured otu how to put them on yet.. so mommy has to be part of the crazy obsession.. on off on off.. or in her language "aut, aut" for off.

brushing her teeth, the dancing frog from Target that dances to "shake it", cleaning the floors and windows with a paper towel.

Turning the TV on and off and looking out the window and pointing to the cars driving by while saying, "Wow."

We got him a baby doll this weekend (early prep for baby bro/sis on the way).  He loves it, wants to put hats on it and give it his binky.   Very cute.

Elbows -  He says, "Elbow!" and then wants to touch your elbow and vice versa.

"Dip", anything that appears to be a sauce or condiment is dip and he wants it on whatever he's eating.  He also has started dipping his crayons in things, like Mommy's water glass.

Jen&Louie

Climbing, God help me!  He climbs up on the couches, the kitchen chairs, his toys, the baby gates...anything. 

Cherryblossoms07

Doors/Door knobs - she loves opening and closing doors.  She can barely reach the knobs but it does not keep her from trying. 

Books - she loves flipping through the pages and looking at the pictures.

My iPhone. She knows how to unlock it and how to play a few of the little toddler games already!

he loves this ball popper thing he got for x-mas, face planting on anything he knows is soft, climbing our stairs, our dogs, etc.

Kingston54

Pulling things out of boxes, bags, cupboards, drawers, etc.

the brown bear books. she can 'read' through them all day on her own and be happy. if we take her away from them, she gets very upset. she's also obsessed with my nose, specifically a little skin tag thing i have. when i nurse her, she rubs it nonstop.

CWest0405

The rotating Miller Lite pub sign in our finished basement.  He has to have it on when we go down there to play, and he takes breaks to stare at it and point to it.

The ipad commercial...he stops whatever he is doing to watch it as soon as he hears the music.

Taking his socks out of his sock drawer and putting them back.

His blanket.  He started carrying it with him everywhere a few weeks ago.

Looking at himself in the mirror.  He likes to kiss his reflection too.

Toddlers are so funny....its like they all have OCD!

shihtzumomma

Cell phones. I cannot pick up my cell phone and use it without DD having a meltdown. Actually that's ANY cell phone. She will see others' phones and meltdown too if she can't have it.

ETA: I just realized she's holding it in my siggy! LOL

Climbing on the couch. She practically lives on the couch!

etude de la vie

BOOKS!! has been since 6 months old but it has gotten really obsessed recently. She has one book she carries everywhere. I am lucky if I go 20 min without reading it  if we are downstairs. It is all day in her hands asking me to read this one book. 

Also pulling all of her books out of the bookshelf and arranging them on the floor.  

Mr. & Mrs. RN

Putting her socks on her hands "sock puppets".  And putting her doll pillow on the ground and ordering me to "sleep".
