I wanted to write a sentimental post today about my 5 year old son but everything that entered my mind was another one of his weird obsessions.

Another blogger, sunshine scribe, talked about her son’s quirkiness not so long ago and that made me think more into my son’s obessions, quirks, or whatever you want to call them. These things make me realize how much he is like me when everyone around us says he is just like his daddy.

And now I’d like to randomly present to you some of his obsessions:

1.) Living In a Video Game

On most days my son acts like he is in a game. For example, yesterday he was eating cheez-its(reduced fat) and every time he would put one of the crackers in his mouth he was talking to himself about going to a different level in the game by eating another cracker. He did this the entire time he was eating. I sat back and watched him and it seriously cracked me up. He was in his own little world. And, no, he doesn’t spend too much time playing xbox or PS2.

2.) Anatomy

The boy loves the body and everything about it. He carries around a college-level anatomy book and questions it daily. He draws pictures of the body. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to parts of the body and what each one does. A few days ago we were in a store looking at Halloween decorations and there were those gooey body parts for sale. They had bloody ears, fingers, brains, livers,etc. Can you guess which ones he wanted to buy? Yep. He bought the brain and the liver and he is AMAZED by them.

3.) The Food Network

Every night before bedtime we watch the food network. Sometimes we watch Iron Chef (which I’ve mentioned here before) and sometimes we watch $40 a day with Rachel Ray or just whatever is on. He loves cooking and new recipes.

4.) Spongebob

I know lots of kids are addicted to Spongebob and mine is no exception!

5.) Geography

Memorizing, drawing, googling and collecting books & puzzles of states and countries is another one of his quirky hobbies.

Do your kids have any weird hobbies, obsessions or quirks?
