In the morning I must take them all out of the crib. They must all read books with us at night too. She often says "More animals" if I don't have everyone present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2022165 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 13:49:02 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2022165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Every new stuffed animal must make it into his crib to sleep at night. It's getting a bit crowded in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2022160 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 13:46:13 +0000 blackbird 2022160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: she's got at least one in each hand and then one in her mouth! And she'll trade them all around and if there's another one, she insists on having it, too. Here, i was planning on reducing her obsession with them...but i just caaaan't take them away from a sick baby! She likes to stick her finger in the hole. WEIRDOS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2022154 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 13:43:21 +0000 LuLu Mom 2022154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I'm looking at new storage toy units for her room because the amount of "stuff" she insist on keeping is out of control. It needs to be out of site for me not to go crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2022026 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:51:19 +0000 Torchwood 2022026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LO's yet, but I was when I was little! And my little (half) brother, who is *exactly* like me was too. Gotta be honest, I knly started really becoming minimalist in the last few years. (Basically when I realized how much I hate cleaning and dusting around all the "stuff" I had.) My brother is 13 and while he doesn't sleep with 1000 stuffed animals anymore, he has so much crap. And he won't give things up. His pajamas are WAY too small and hae holes in them, but he refuses to stop wearing them until he literally cannot fit into them anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2022000 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:38:07 +0000 .twist. 2022000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: L holds one in each hand while he sleeps.... so weird... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2021995 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:36:30 +0000 blackbird 2021995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's a hoarder of pacifiers lately. I don't know if it's because she's sick or what, but if she sees one, she points at it and yells MIMI and cries if we dont' give it to her. She just has to touch them and rub her fingers on them....it's so weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2021932 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:06:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 2021932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. She has to sleep with allllll the books, and babies, and "friends" (stuffed animals), and pillows and blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2021926 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:04:32 +0000 mrbee 2021926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Our son was exactly like this, but grew out of it!!</p> <p>Our daughter is 3 and is doing the same thing... I'm hopeful she will grow out of it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2021915 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:58:14 +0000 .twist. 2021915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha that is so cute. </p> <p>L isn't really a hoarder .... yet? He does like his cars and he has recently started to show some major attachment to bringing one car in each hand EVERYWHERE. It's a really struggle to let them go for daycare or bedtime. We end up having to say "nite nite" to his cars on his book shelf... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-a-hoarder#post-2021911 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:56:40 +0000 mediagirl 2021911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter loves her stuff. She has always been this way. She doesn't latch on to one thing, she latches on to ALL the things. She pushes her grocery cart around and fills it up with everything she can find. Her crib is full of animals and blankets. If we can't find something, we know we have to look for it in one of her bags/baskets/carts. She's affectionately known as the bag lady in our house. :)</p> <p>Is your child a hoarder? </p>
