Toddlers - what does yours tote around?

Was thinking back fondly of the time when my ds, then around 20 months, insisted on carrying around a toothbrush, usually mine or dh's and we could never find them when we needed them. (In the end we bought him his own collection...) When he was 2 he moved on to apples and we had hoardes of discarded, slightly manky apples hanging round the house...

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Just his tiger, carries it everywhere and screamed the other night when we forgot to give it to him! He uses it as a pillow.

Dd (18mths) carries her brothers' pants everywhere. Sometimes she will put them on over her trousers. When I lifted her into the shopping trolley the other week the little madam was wearing ds1's Simpsons pants under her dress.

DD (2 last week) likes to carry her bears. Three of them who appear at first glance identical. Two are identical twins, but the other is slightly older (was a DS cast-off). Sometimes a doll or two is added to the pile, and generally then she will realise that she really can't carry them all at once .

Whatever his latest fad is.
Currently a halloween pumkin bag containing his play mobile phone and 'car keys'.

DS carries around his willy (should explain - he is mostly sans nappy at home, and has become extremely attatched to the little appendage). He also likes to pull dishes and cutlery out at odd times and set the table for us. Bless.

Currently a doctor who tardis money box, and a washing powder tablets box, which is covered in pictures of toys we cut out and glued on it.

a collection of fifi figures, handbag, pony and assorted bobbles round her wrist

Not so much totes around, but ds2 (19 months) seems to wander around in the rest of the family's footwear quite frequently! Watching him trying to negotiate the back step in daddy's flip flops is hilarious!

My DS1 has 'The Gang' which consists of approximately 7 teddies. Doesn't carry them everywhere cos that would send me mad, but has to have them all in bed, which is a pain as they are often scattered around the house during the day

Ds (17 months) has recently started carrying one of 2 soft toy dogs with him everywhere. One he has had since birth, but was indifferent to until recently. The other is fairly new, but is the spitting image of our real dog.

At night he won't let go of his toothbrush and takes that to bed with him, often holding onto it all night. And to think a few weeks ago we had major tantrums if a toothbrush went anywhere near his person.
