Obsessions

It's so funny to watch Will go through phases. He becomes completely obsessed with some toy (usually car/truck) and won't let anything come between him and that object for a few days or weeks...until suddenly he moves on to the next obsession.
Here is a good example of an obsession with a truck. He was immediately attached to this truck and luckily its former owner was about to trash it. He refused to put it down even though it's really heavy and awkward. It was hard to get him to eat sometimes because this huge truck wouldn't fit in the high chair with him.
This little remote control car fits into the palm of your hand. It has these tiny wheels that have all been lost or damaged. This was one of Britton's birthday presents, but Will took such a sudden, severe interest in it it didn't last too long. At first it was cute to hear him say "Get it! Get it!" as he chased it around. But there was no way to distract him from it. He knew exactly where we hid it and was so persistent in asking for it and throwing tantrums until he was holding it again. For about a week he took it everywhere.





No more fake cars. Will needs the real deal now. He can spend an hour "driving" unless it's too hot and I worry and drag him inside screaming to make him drink water.
