Luke has for the last 6 months been very very into Doctor Who. He is especially fascinated with The Tardis (Time and Relative Dimension in Space :)) - I could recite this well before all the current new Who fans jumped on the band wagon ;).
His favourite clothing at the moment is anything with a Tardis on it... especailly his favourite T-Shirt he got as a gift for Crimbo.
It is now a very risky state of affairs allowing him to wear this kinda clothing because he obsesses about them. He won't take them off, he wants to go to bed wearing them and he wont let Julie wash them. A few weeks ago Julie put his T-Shirt in the washing basket and we went to bed. We awoke the next morning, to Luke sat at the side of us attempting to put his T-Shirt on - after fishing through the washing basket for them - and without waking us in the process!
We have resorted to hiding them at bedtime and tricking him.
The final straw...
I was shopping around Next Friday evening and spotted some underwear with a Tardis on. So thought its a nice practical gift that Luke would like, and its a bit of a reward for him... MISTAKE NUMBER 1
We let him wear his undies on Saturday and he was good that day. He went to bed without any protesting... which in this instance is good.
We were awoken at 3:00AM this morning (note THREE AM) to Luke looking around our bedrooom with his TORCH shining it around ... "Were my Arids Pants Daddy... wah wah wah". WE calmed him down and he came to bed with us.
I decided to interogate the little blighter this morning as I found the conservatory door open this morning, and i was the last to bed and remembered closing it!!!
Luke admitted wandering around the house with his torch at 3 in the morning... we had recently removed the restraining gates as we felt we could trust him... MISTAKE NUMBER 2.

Alice obsesses about things as well. I have decided that the worst thing you can do as a parent is try to make your child happy as they will throw it in your face again and again!!!
For example, I was playing Flight Sim on my PC and Alice asked if she could have a go. I said yes and ever since then if she see's me playing Flight Sim (or any games using a steering wheel as she had a go on that as well) she pesters me saying 'I want to fly a helicopter' or 'I want to race'. She goes on and on and starts crying and everything until you give in or lose your rag. It means that I can no longer play these games on my PC while she is there!!
It's a good job they are cute!!! :-)
Luke is the same with me with Mario Galaxy, although he doesnt seem to tantrum too much when I say "its my go".
We are trying to teach him the importance of "sharing" :) - convenient for me ;)
