elbows! He's 2.5 and clearly states that he wants to bite them, he needs to constantly touch them. Seems fascinated by it. In addition to being obsessed for more than a year by vacuum cleaners, washing machines, hair dryers and toilets. Sounds familiar to anyone?

They are funny aren't they?! I remember my little brother being obsessed with noses when he was about 2 - 3 yrs - he just wanted to hold and touch yours when he sat on your knee, he would even spend ages gently holding the dogs nose! My other brother was obsessed with vaccuum cleaners too!

My cousin used to be obsessed with elbows too - I remember her sitting on my lap and constantly stroking them and fiddling with them. Weird.

My 21 month old loves elbows. She demanded I wipe her elbows after dinner the other day (wtf?)
She also loves tummy buttons.
