Just a (hopefully) lighthearted question to other parents. Remembering back to the toddler years or if you're currently living them with your child - did/do they have an obsession with things?
For instance, my son (2 tomorrow) is obsessed and has been for months with balls. His favourite is basketball but nearly any one will do. If we're drawing, he asks me to draw basketballs. If I need a bit of a break and turn on TV, he will ask to watch basketball. I have seen every available basketball game on YouTube (no cable, just Netflix, YouTube and Crackle on our Xbox).
If we go to the store and he sees a ball and I don't buy it, he throws a tantrum. (This doesn't mean I necessarily buy it, his collection of sports and play balls of all varieties is big enough).
A lot of kids have their favourite toy or blanket to bring with them at this age. When we leave the house, whether for a car ride, walk to the bus stop to get his big brother, bike ride (in his biking trailer), stroller, or his wagon, he brings a ball. I don't mind but I am quite fascinated by it. I'm also not worried about it, he does play with other toys, loves to play games with everyone, likes other kids but he really is fascinated with balls, sports that include balls (baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, football).
My oldest son (10) had his "Bella", a stuffed dog named after his grandparents' dog when he was this age.
Ball in our house is an adjective, verb, now, pronoun etc. He gibber-jabbers as toddlers do "blah, blah, blah basketball, blah, blah, blah soccer and tennis and I do play basketball." He even sings songs about them lol. He just loves them. I could go on but will stop here.
So yeah, any of your kids have similar obsessions/any obsessions as toddlers? This is my second, as I said my oldest wasn't noticeably more keen on one thing as my youngest is.
