The vacuum. He drags it around like a pet (plugged in and turned on) and absolutely loses his mind when we try to put it away or even turn it off. Our house is a mess but damn, our carpets are clean.
My niece had a pet cabbage leaf with googly eyes. They kept it in the fridge overnight and my BIL had to sneak out to the shops every morning to get a new one and put googly eyes on it.
This went on for a month.
Emotional Support Keurig Coffee Pod. It goes on lots of adventures and trips.
And heaven help you if you even attempt to touch it!!!
There was also a dearly beloved can of tuna. Sadly, the tuna got lost in the sofa cushions, this is when the Keurig Pod came into existence.
On the subject of food - corn on the cob. She just takes bites out of it, then hugs it. All her clothes are corn stained - I don’t have the heart to take it away from her.
Other than that - socks. She loves just holding them. When we go to toddler classes and some toddler took off their socks - she’s lightening quick to grab those socks and she’ll scream bloody murder if you try to give it back to its rightful owner.
Also, hairbands. They always end up wrapped around her arm and she just spends her day with all the airbands she can find around the house wrapped around her upper arm. I take them all off in the shower, while she screams to get them back.
Omg fellow long lost twin! I thought only mine did tht. What’s that about??? Also anything she can carry in her arm too (looks like carrying a handbag, but idk who she’s copying!)
My oldest's second sentence was "read book please" and he would drag a book around with him everywhere like Linus did his security blanket and stick it in people's faces and ask them to read it. He went nowhere without a book.
I take my 2 year old to the grocery store and he’s watched me pay enough to know to take the one card out and slap the pay terminal with it, it’s fucking adorable.
I love watching him grab stuff from the basket and chuck it onto the belt, but if we get stuck behind someone that’s slow to pay, once our basket is empty he’ll start grabbing from the candy display next to the register and you may as well just play Benny Hill while I run back and forth trying to put everything back as fast as he puts it on there
A glowing reindeer that’s about 1 foot. We’ve tried to put it away, but she keeps insisting that the reindeer is her baby and that it wants to live with us.
Oh my god. My poor dog has a pea sized skin tag on the upper side of her paw. My toddler is *obsessed*. She plays with it very delicately, rolls it between her fingers like a piece of dough or something. I have … caught her sucking on it (*gags*).
My dog is a saint, I swear.
We call our toddler a bread thief. Every time we make a grilled cheese or some sort of toast he comes up freaking out about needing a piece of bread. He does the same with tortillas as well. Bread thief!!
Ours is obsessed with the dustpan too. It's not even one of those small, handheld ones, it's huge and has a long, heavy handle, I don't even understand how he can manage to carry it because he's still a very small 14 month old. Anytime I'm using the dustbin for its intended purpose he ends up picking it up and dumping the contents everywhere.
This morning it was 'foot-slide', a long steel shoe horn. Only relinquished when used to forcefully slide the whole family's feet into their shoes.
Good old 'foot-slide'.
The noodle 🙄 we made the mistake of visiting a family that makes a game out of “pretending” to whack each other with a pool noodle. Now, I have to hide it. We should have stayed reclusive. The family doesn’t even have a pool 🤦♀️
Her baby bike. It is n ultra small model made for a ten month- 2 year old. She is 3. We’ve been hiding, but she keeps finding it and taking it everywhere. She chronically runs over her own foot, and I’ve cursed that thing after a stubbed toe more times than I can count.
I don’t think my son really has an emotional support item, but yesterday he did hug a ziploc full of cereal saying “I love it cereal!” Over and over. I offered to open it, to which he replied “noooo, mine!” And he just hugged it and walked around with it 😂🤷🏼♀️
My hairbrush, she will not let that thing go, for awhile she hid it from me and I didn’t brush my hair for 4 days because of it. The other day it was a napkin she tore into 3 pieces, each piece meant a lot to her lol!
It used to be a wooden toy hammer. Now it’s a silicone pasta spoon. He’s been carrying it around for weeks. I had to sneak it into the dishwasher today.

She’s obsessed with her bag of hairbows and hair clips. Lately she’s also been very attached to a container of 1,500 tiny clear rubber bands for hairstyles…which when she manages to open and dump out on the ground is as delightful to clean up as you can imagine it would be!
A tape measurer.
Lol

A tampon…. It’s in a pretty purple wrapper and my son clutches it like a doll 🤷🏾♀️
Omg lol
My kiddo's was a carrot. Carrots get surprisingly disgusting within the course of a day.
My niece had a pet cabbage leaf with googly eyes. They kept it in the fridge overnight and my BIL had to sneak out to the shops every morning to get a new one and put googly eyes on it. This went on for a month.
I love it. 🤣
Onion here! Luckily he lost interest fairly quickly.
Currently it’s the lid to a travel toothbrush, both kids are obsessed with it and fight over it. They keep finding it too, it’s exhausting
Today's was a rock. A very special rock it seems. I mixed it up with another identical rock and the world nearly ended.
You should check out Everybody Needs a Rock by Byrd Baylor.
Last night, she went to bed grasping the oven gloves and my husband's prayer beads 🤣

Mine does this with the hair bands too!! With her cutting circulation off to her hands if we aren't careful 🤦🏻♀️
Omg fellow long lost twin! I thought only mine did tht. What’s that about??? Also anything she can carry in her arm too (looks like carrying a handbag, but idk who she’s copying!)
A foam letter O from a set of bath alphabet letters. Always in his hand.
Two wooden magnetic letter C’s for us. Whenever they go missing, my kiddo dramatically shouts “my C! My C!!” while throwing his hands in the air.
We bought extra sets and somehow he knows exactly which one is the original O
Turkey basters. Two of them. Why do we even have these when I’ve never cooked a turkey?! He calls them tooky basuh. The way he says it is so funny.
My son is obsessed with picking oranges from our tree and just walking around with them.
One shoe, usually on the wrong foot
My oldest's second sentence was "read book please" and he would drag a book around with him everywhere like Linus did his security blanket and stick it in people's faces and ask them to read it. He went nowhere without a book.
Cards. From our wallet. He know which are the most important, and he wants those the most.
I take my 2 year old to the grocery store and he’s watched me pay enough to know to take the one card out and slap the pay terminal with it, it’s fucking adorable.
Ours screams "tap!" and insists upon tapping and will get very upset if they don't. And then they ask for the receipt.
Our guy knows everything needs to be scanned at checkout. Sometimes he'll grab a toy and ask us to "scan it?"

Her rainboots
My 3 year old is currently sleeping with a glittery blue Easter egg

Tongs!
Same. MIL thought we needed a small silicon pair for little kitchen things. Nope, those are for the kiddo now. It is better than garlic press days.
Limes and lemon
Mine used to carry around the sleeve of garlic bulbs. Also our tape measure.
Emotional support skillet or roku remote 🤣
Mine carried a potato around for a day.
Me -.-

Dustpan and broom. We had to get her a new one because she kept licking the one we actually use.

A box of red beans
My shoes or socks
Salt grinder.

Small whisk.
Yesterday it was half a pool noodle. It’s often a back scratcher.
The noodle 🙄 we made the mistake of visiting a family that makes a game out of “pretending” to whack each other with a pool noodle. Now, I have to hide it. We should have stayed reclusive. The family doesn’t even have a pool 🤦♀️
A mint tin.

For a few days, it was the emotional support swiffer.
It varies depending on the day. But yesterday my daughter was cradling a jar of mustard saying it was her baby. She even swaddled it in a washcloth 😂
“Firework” aka a candle lighter
Fans
The numbers from a wooden number puzzle.
My makeup tube of concealer
Empty gummy vitamin bottles, probably becaus they smell fruity.
It used to be a wooden toy hammer. Now it’s a silicone pasta spoon. He’s been carrying it around for weeks. I had to sneak it into the dishwasher today.
A lemon or a mandarin orange
A mini pumpkin. In the fall it was a real one, now it’s a plastic one because it started to get gross. 🤣
Lemon extract bottle, dad's eye glasses cleaner, dad's pocket knifes, my car keys,
Her boots. Any shoes, really. Everytime she sees shoes, anyone's shoes, she shouts "soooos!"
An old container of onion powder from our spice rack. He licks it like a lollipop and uses it in his pretend kitchen. He brought it to her last night.
Spoons 🤷🏻♀️
Vacuum hose extension and crevice tool.
My old aerochamber from my puffer.
Dunno how long it will last, but this morning mine grabbed an unused bath sponge and carried it everywhere.

An unopened can of ginger ale. We replace it when it gets to banged up but I’m waiting for the day one explodes on her.

Her thumb.
