10 Weird Objects Your Toddler Gets Attached To

My daughter sleeps with the same stuffed mouse, Squeaky, I slept with as a child. She had found in a box of my old things. I hate to say it, but sometimes I miss sleeping with it too!

My 3 year old daughter has an older pair of my Grandmother's (we call her Nanny) silky pajamas. The shirt and the shorts. so we have a back up. She calls it her Nanny. My 3 year old son has this periwinkle colored blanket that has the fringe on the edges that he likes to run his fingers through while he lays down. Both "Nanny" and "fringe" came from Nanny's house and its a complete nightmare if one of these things gets misplaced! Lol

My son loves to suck on his thum and hold my hair. When he is upset or tired he will gravitate towards it. He also tries to stick his toes in it whan I am not paying attention.

my cousin had the same thing with my aunt's silk robe. she cut a piece from it and he carried it EVERYWHERE. like Linus! LOL and i did the thumb sucking thing while "petting" my sheets or any sheet i was sleeping on

My son has to have some sort of writing utensil in his hand at all times. He usually tries to bring a notepad and pen into bed at night with him but of course we never let him cause it's dangerous and I don't want ink leaking out, he throws a fit though when we try to take it away. I don't know maybe he'll be a writer or an artist.

My kids all did the finger through the loop in the tag while sleeping, blankets or stuffed animals, it didn't matter. Each of my three girls has a special attachment to a particular thing. My 12 year old likes a fuzzy pink blanket she has had since birth, my middle girl has a winnie the pooh that is named "mimi" and my youngest has a stuffed eyeore and a stuffed dog. They are all well over the age of 5, but still like to have their things at bedtime. I still have my blanket from when I was a toddler as well, it stays at the foot of our bed:)

My daughter slept with a pink quilt that my mother made. One side was flannel and the other side was satin. She would not sleep without it. The quilt got a name. Pinky! Pinky remained a part of her life through school and college and yes...even into her marriage. She still sleeps with it wrapped around her head. It calms her faster then anything and she sleeps better with it. Her hubby has leaned to tolerate it. She now has a baby and she is not sharing Pinky with her baby. He will have to figure out his own snuggle article as time goes on. He's only 2 months old.

i know its strange, but a male hijab from Iraq. My dad brought two back with him when he came back from his deployment, and i was so fascinated with it. i would carry stuff in it, wrapp myself up in it, i even wore it as a cape. I was about seven or eight at the time. Now I sleep with it every night and when i don't have it, i feel oddly uncomfortable.....and I'm a very adult-acting 15 year old. When they came into style because Kayne West started to wear them my sister tried to wear mine out of the house (she lost hers years ago) i absolutely refused. the poor cloth doesn't even have a name, i just know i love it!

i have no kids yet, but when i was little i had a dollhouse/dollhouse family. whenever we were someplace that didnt have toys (for whatever reason, it never occured to me to bring my dollhouse people with me), i played with my mom's lipstick/chapstick/perfumes/nail polish bottles as though they were tiny dolls. i'd play school, and each thing would have a name, and the ones that looked similar were siblings. when i got a little older, i had my own lipgloss and nail polish, and i had a notebook where i wrote their names down, the grade they were in (according to the size of the items) and bus stops (i used books as school buses/cars).
oh, i also used to treat umbrellas like dolls and named them. the two i remember were a pink plaid umbrella named Jocelyn, and a blue umbrella with orange fish on it named Carolyn.

When I was in high school, I babysat a little boy who needed to have a piece of scotch tape to stick to his cheek to settle down for naps. He'd suck his thumb and pull and replace that piece of tape until the stick would ware off and he'd ask for another piece- he was like 2 or 3 yrs old. I can remember thinking I hope my kids don't need tape to fall asleep :) (They don't, they have tattered blankies and stuffed animals that go everywhere)

From the time my daughter was old enough to grip and hold onto things until fairly recently (she is 2 and a half) she was obsessed with tags. She had a rabbit that had hands and feet made for teething but she only cared about the multi-layered tag on his bottom. She would sit there and flip each one like she was reading them. And she always inspected the tags on her toys or clothes. Sometimes I still catch her doing it but I think she has finally outgrown it.

my niece loves my dog's leash and brush..They are he first thing she gets when she comes over...

I had a teddy bear my older sister gave me because I used to try to take hers. I called him Budgie. My son now sleeps with him, but he renamed it "mama bear" from when he was little and tried to tell me he wanted "mama's bear" that I had on my shelf. He's 10 now and still sleeps with it.

My sister who is almost 4 had this rabbit/ small blanket that she has to have with her evey night to sleep with. This doll goes every where with us and heven forbide we lose it nothing else will do this doll is so grungy and every time we throw it in the washer she cries and wait by the washer for it

My one-year-old will need to have his milk bottle in his hand while I'm massaging him so he could sleep. :)

My son does the same as #6. Doesn't fall asleep like that, but I catch him doing it a lot. Good to know my child isn't alone. =o)

I took my nearly 2 year old daughter across the country for 2 weeks and on the plane back home she refused to sleep unless she could clutch the sky mall magazine. If I tried to take it away she would immediately wake up and snatch it back like a beloved teddy bear. It wouldn't have been so bad if she wasn't in my lap, forcing me to cradle and snuggle a magazine as well.

My 4 yr old still rubs the mole on my neck. He found it when he used to nurse, and now just rubs it when he needs comfort. He also rubs fingernails. When he was younger, he liked the smooth plastic of a doll's eyes.

My oldest son likes to have boxes, cereal, poptart doesn't matter, just cardboard.
