Toddler Obsession

Recently, I've noticed articles about "toddler obsessions" popping up everywhere, almost like someone is trying to warn me of something...

Tonight, we went out for dinner and guess what my boy insisted on taking along with him...

The headset from my "working from home" days... and today, he's obsessed with it. It barely works thanks to being dragged, chewed, thrown, and stepped on, but my son seems to love it and who am I to argue with that.

He even insisted on wearing it properly once we were seated at our table. Then, he proceeded to eat all of his dinner and even some of mine without once...

screaming...

crying...

climbing out of his chair...

or provoking the slightest glance from fellow patrons, much less the usual obnoxious stares...

It's all about picking your battles. Sometime you may even get a win-win!

Mine insisted on taking a jar of simmer sauce with him every where. And then it was just one shoe. The left.....

He didn't look half as cute tho.

Maybe he'll be a pilot?

omgoodness, he looks like he is listening intently to a very important phone call...

very cute!

Mine doesn't obsess about one particular item but he does obsess over having SOMETHING with him, doesn't matter what it is just as long as he has it. and sister doesn't.
