I trick them out of her by holding her for book time and baby wearing, but for the most part, she's too busy. I've been teaching her to hug and kiss her stuffed owl in hopes that it will transfer to us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2359625 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 11:43:48 +0000 blackbird 2359625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>😂😂😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2359535 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 10:37:30 +0000 Trailmix 2359535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Peanut butter. Why, children of mine, why don't you like it?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2359481 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 10:13:33 +0000 .twist. 2359481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I know! I should be careful. My brother was my influence, and because I thought he was the coolest guy around I loved Star Wars at a very young age. Maybe I could even try letting his bros tell him how cool it is! I can always use more friends! :D </p> <p>@Mrs. Pickle: haha seriously. I should start telling him he's NOT allowed to like it and see if reverse logic does the trick. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358972 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 21:15:36 +0000 Torchwood 2358972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is hope! My mom tried to get me to watch Star Wars when I was little, and I was NOT interested. But around 13 I changed my mind and now I'm the biggest Star Wars fan you'll ever meet. So don't give up! Also, we should be friends. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358970 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 21:10:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2358970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: that's so sad!! I joke with DH that LO is going to hate Star Wars because we love it so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358958 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 20:57:53 +0000 Nutella 2358958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Comforters, or soft toys or blankie type things. He immediately throws anything in his cot over the edge and has never ever wanted to cuddle anything to bed. It's so funny how I really want him to have a security blanket but he wants no part of it. 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358698 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 17:11:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 2358698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now: magnatiles. Hoping he will like them eventually.</p> <p>And he's never liked to color/draw too much, so hopefully someday for that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358633 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:33:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2358633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two things, but I'm not sure yet if he'll love them or not.</p> <p>I want him to love music and want to continue playing an instrument - it doesn't matter to me which instrument! Though I'm partial to piano/violin.<br /> And I know it's super cliche, but I want him to love learning haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358576 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:58:26 +0000 sunny 2358576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a favorite blanket and 2 dolls that I bought for LO and she's just not that into them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358558 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:48:12 +0000 MoonMoon 2358558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: oh yeah, I would love for him to have a lovey or a security blanket, but nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358554 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:46:56 +0000 MoonMoon 2358554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Movies! We want to introduce him to some classics from out childhoods, but he's not into them yet. There's still time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358542 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:42:13 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2358542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ponies. There's a pony riding school in town and they have Shetland ponies. I've been fantasying about her riding one and looking all LOTR (cue a scene in Hobbiton). But she's scared of them! We've repeated tried to get her to ride one and the last time, we even paid and she got as far as wearing the helmet before she refused and exclaimed, "it's dangerous!" Omg :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358333 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 14:00:04 +0000 Autumnmama79 2358333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be great if she would like regular breakfast foods like oatmeal, cereal, pancakes or waffles. But she always wants pasta or soup or a sandwich :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358325 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:55:42 +0000 gingerbebe 2358325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son would not take a paci which really would have helped in those colicky newborn days.</p> <p>He is also not cuddly or snugly at all, hated babywearing or cosleeping, and does not care at all about books either.</p> <p>He also really doesn't like food all that much except during growth spurts, which we don't get cuz DH and I are piglets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358298 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:45:36 +0000 hummusgirl 2358298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: Ah. Sorry, tough break! I am obsessed with avocados (plus they're so easy) I would be bummed too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358288 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:42:24 +0000 Alivoo01 2358288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahahaha! I'm guilty of this as well with somethings, but the one thing I wish he would love his a blankie/lovey! I love my blanket and he absolutely despises all things blanket. womp womp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358248 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:26:13 +0000 skipra 2358248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: that's what I thought too and DS1 has always hated it! He would tolerate it pureed with banana as a baby and now will not eat anything that may have even touched an avocado. Makes me so sad!</p> <p>Otherwise I thought he would love t ball and soccer but he would just rather run than play. I don't care what sport he likes as long as we find one. Maybe he'll just do track when he's older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358246 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:25:13 +0000 brownepiano 2358246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hummusgirl he's 20 months... But we keep trying it occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358241 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:22:51 +0000 hummusgirl 2358241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: Not sure how old your LO one is, but mine hated avocado as a baby and loved it by 2 years or so. Don't give up hope! He started getting into it when I started having him squeeze lemon on it, mix in a little garlic powder or salt, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358235 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:18:26 +0000 lilyann 2358235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuffed animals, my boys couldn't care less :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358233 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:16:13 +0000 brownepiano 2358233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avocado. Aren't all kids supposed to love it, esp doing blw? I love it and my DS won't touch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358211 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:06:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 2358211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Same here. I can't believe how much he dislikes painting and drawing and coloring. I thought all kids were into that stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358175 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:48:24 +0000 anonysquire 2358175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hair ornaments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358174 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:48:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2358174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: I do hear you on that. DH is super into golf and really really really wants our kids to like it. I'll be sad for him if neither of them ever want to play with him. But I also think he needs to realize that HE can get into whatever they are into too. Like, if they'd rather play soccer than basketball, he can learn about soccer and coach that instead of coaching basketball like he envisioned. Or whatever. He's coming around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358161 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:45:30 +0000 Mamaof2 2358161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoes!!!</p> <p>All she wants to wear is sneakers! :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-you-want-your-lo-to-love-but-they-dont#post-2358082 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:07:48 +0000 thismustbetheplace 2358082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snuggling :crying:<br /> I wish I had a more affectionate toddler. He can be really sweet when he wants to but he never just wants to sit in my lap, cuddle, nap together etc. He even goes so far as to squiggle off my lap stand beside the rocker for our bedtime stories. JUST SNUGGLE WITH ME DARN IT 😉 </p>
