Repetition?
jillybean800

How much do you let your LO do/watch/eat the same thing over and over? Today, Alexander is obsessed with his Chicka Chicka Boom Boom DVD. As soon as it ends, he looks at me and says, "boom boom? boom boom?" And then when I say, "You want to watch Boom Boom again?" He jumps up and down and says "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" So he is currently on his 5th watching (it's only 3 minutes long or so). Anyway, is there a reason to NOT do this type of repetition? Do your toddlers do this with certain books or movies, etc? I know kids like repetition, but I just don't know if I should try to direct him to something different now that he's seen this 5 times, haha.

Re: Repetition?
O.M.G. B is insane about Elmo and his freakin duck song (Elmo has 4 Ducks on youtube). I usually let him watch it 3 times and then decide it's done.
It was pretty cute when he'd run over and point at the computer, flap his arms/wings, and say repeatedly, "quack quack!"

Currently, M is running around the house in circles yelling, "Booos Cooos" (Blues Clues) even though he's watched it twice already today. For breakfast, lunch, AND dinner, all he wanted was "appa sass" (apple sauce) and in between "bilk!" (milk).
So, yep. Repetition is all we know in this household!

Thor is so obsessed about this video right now. He loves ducks and Elmo, so naturally the two together are AWESOME! He won't watch TV no matter what for more than 2 minutes right now, but he can sit and watch that video on mt cell 5 - 7 times if I let him. Go figure!
Absolutely.
We see a truck. "More truck, mama"
We help sweep and clean up. "gain gain?" (again, again?)
We watch dang-blasted Elmo & duck video. "more duck!"
This, too. kj, Elliott literally did the EXACT same thing this morning. DH said, "Do you want to watch Elmo's ducks?" and Elliott ran to the computer, pointed and said, "Quack Quack Elmo!"
DD is obsessed with her Caillou books. You have no idea how many times a day I hear "More Caillou?" It is at the point now where I will actually say "Don't you want to watch Caillou?" But then then answer is "Yeah!" followed by her grasping my hand and forcing a book into it with a declaration of "Read Caillou!"

A can sit and watch a 2030 min video so if he is watching tv it is usually either little einsteins, mickey mouse, or super why thanks for the suggestions he looooves it. But after the show it gets turned off, usually coincides with my cooking or getting ready to leave the house. The only show we have let him watch on a loop is the baby signing time because those are DVDs and will repeat on their own unless you stop them. For food he gets what we do but will occasionally ask for the same snack over and over. I just limit bananas for obvious reasons but they can no longer sit on our kitchen counter. He can't remember having one earlier in the morning or at a morning snack and is tunnel visioned til he gets all the bananas or toddler meltdown comes.
He can read the same books & eat the same foods as much as he pleases. But when he's asking for "Ham" (Fireman Sam) for what seems to be the millionth time, I gotta draw the line somewhere!
eta- actually on foods- I limit him to one orange & serving of grapes per day b/c I don't want them upsetting his stomach. He is always asking for those two things.
"More airpane more airpane more airpane." Commence meltdown when I can't magically make another airplance fly across the sky.
Or the other constant: "Where Aria?" "Aria's with her mommy B." "Where Anbelle?" "Annabelle is with her mommy." "Where Aria?" "Aria's with her mommy." Over and over and over. And if you don't answer she will just go "Aria? Aria? ARIA ARIA ARIA?" Until you finally do answer.

B does this with his book. We give him a Babybug magazine in his carseat in the morning. For the past two weeks he's been tossing it aside before I even pull out of the carport. But then comes "book? book? book? book?" until I say, "oh, did you lose your book? Too bad, I can't get it because I'm driving." A few times I've just decided to not give him the book since he always tosses it aside - bad move on my part. Then it's just "book book book" until we get to our destination.
Also - when I got B this morning from his crib the first thing he said to me was "elmo." Damn that furry red guy.
