9 months - coat hangers, p.c, remote controls and plug scokets and any little bit of paper/rubbish he can fit in mouth are fav at the moment. Although he does have his eye on the toilet brush so we have put them on window sil but he screaches and tries to climb up on the loo !! Hygenic hay??!! Oh and toothbrushes and pens.

Yes all of these are on my ds list as well! My toilet brush has to live on the cistern out of his reach until he learns to climb on the loo!!! :eek:

all my son wanted for his 3rd birthday was to stand on a bridge and his dad drive through the ford next to it and splash him for 30 mins!

My little girl, nearly 3 is obsessed with money ( no idea why !), she loves notes and is always pretending to shop, so we initially tried to give her play notes but she said they were not the same, so we photocopied original notes for her and now she plays shop for hours.

My 10month old is obsession with the phone and tv remotes. She thinks its the best thign ever to have a remote in each hand.

The recycling box. Empty coke cans are a thing of delight.

Cat food. Why buy rusks when cat crunchies are so much more tasty and make such a lovely mess on the floor that can be flung into every corner and the empty dish makes such a good loud bang noise. If there's water in dish its even better. God help the poor old cat if it tries to eat when she's around. She rushes straight there and shouts and whacks poor old cat as if its no right eating her 'toys'

Washing. dry/wet/clean/dirty. I'm trying to think she's helping mummy but I think I'm fooling myself

The door on the living room. She cannot stand it being open. Other doors don't bother her its just that one, she goes over to it and shuts it. We have such fun playing the shut the door again game for hours on end


Thinking about it I don't think she's actually played with any toy today at all.:eek: :rotfl:

The baby group at the centre where I work have a "treasure basket" full of baby proof everyday objects like kitchen utensils.

My dd loves the washing machine, loading and unloading it and turning the dial I have to keep it switched off at the wall. Her absolute favourite thing is "the money's" which is a handful of copper coins that she puts in her moneybox then empties it and repeats the procedure about 50 times. God love her it keeps her busy while her I rush around doing the chores

Evil witch, That was funny!!

I fed the dog her weetabix yesterday(yes weetabix -don,t ask) The wee one crawls over 100 miles an hour and grabs a handful and shoves it in his mouth before I could stop him :rotfl:

Mind you - toilet training in the summer is fun. My first, I Let him run round the garden with no nappy. next thing I know, he is holding a brown object and sticking it in his mouth :rotfl:

I do feed them proper food honest:rotfl:
