I did a post on the books Landon loves here, so I won't list them all again, but he LOVES to read and we spend a lot of time each day reading books. HIs current obsession is Dr. Seuss's ABC's and we read it many, many times a day.

1. iPlay Super Shapes Dump Truck.
Landon is an almost 2 year old boy, so of course he loves trucks. This one makes all sorts of sounds and the shapes make cute animals when you press a button on them. This is the only shape sorter Landon has ever cared about, and he likes driving the truck around the house too.
2. Step2 Cozy Kitchen .
Landon got this for Christmas and it's a HUGE hit! The kitchen itself is tiny, but it came with play pots, pans, silverware, plates, bowls, cups, etc. and we bought him a bunch of Melissa & Doug play food as well and he just loves cooking up a storm! We put the play kitchen in our actual kitchen so Landon can be occupied while I'm cooking real food. He plays with it multiple times a day and it was such a good purchase for us.
With the exception of the pouches with quinoa, meat, or beans in them, Landon has not met a pouch he doesn't like. I love how easy pouches make getting veggies into my kid, and they're great to have in the diaper bag for when Landon gets hungry and we're out somewhere. These applesauce ones are Landon's absolute favorite though. If I let him, he'd eat a million of these each day. They come in just plain apple or mixed with cinnamon or another fruit. Landon loves them all and doesn't care which one he has, as long as he gets to have one (or several).
I've been trying to get Landon into the habit of washing his hands before meals and when we get home from an outing. It was getting really hard for me to hold my 30lb child up at the sink, so this is a lifesaver. It's small, Landon can climb up onto it himself, and it makes my life much easier.
5. Aqueduck Faucet Extender.
This thing is so brilliant and I wish I thought to invent it myself. Along with Landon needing to be able to be tall enough to reach the sink while washing his hands, he needs to be able to actually reach the water from the faucet and he could barely do that. I found this thing, bought it immediately, and it's so awesome! It fits on basically any faucet and Landon can easily reach the water and wash his hands more independently.
6. Little Tikes Little Handiworker Workhorse.
Landon got this for his first birthday, but he really started getting into it around 17 months. It's really small, which is perfect since we don't have a ton of space right now. Landon loves using the tools and playing with the fake nails and screws. I also got him a little tool belt, more tools, and a hardhat which he loves wearing around the house.
7. Kidoozie Little Tuffies Trucks.
Landon got these for Christmas and they're so cute! They're very durable and I think they will be good for a sandbox at the park this summer or maybe the beach. Landon and I drive them around the house and make truck sounds every day. He also likes putting stuff in the back of the dump truck and dumping it out.
8. Imagination Movers.
I've blogged about Landon's obsession with this show before, but it bears repeating because his obsession has grown. We have all 3 DVD's that they have released, pretty much all of their songs from itunes, and we pay an extra $5 a month to get Disney on Demand. They have several episodes on there and Disney Jr. airs the show twice a day on weekdays. The minute Landon sees the TV he demands the Movers (but does not always get what he wants lol. We do not watch TV all day long). The music is awesome and taught Landon the words "go" and "up" and he loves dancing to it! My favorite is when he does what the closing song tells him to do (jump up, get down, etc). We listen to their music in the car all the time (it's catchy), and this is the one kid show I actually don't mind watching. I also love their backstory and they just seem like great guys.
9. Bubbles.
What kid doesn't love bubbles? Landon goes nuts for them in music class, so I bought several bottles of bubbles and a bubble machine at Target several months ago. He says "bubble!" when he sees them in person or in a book, and he loves trying to catch or pop them!
I think that's it for now! What is your toddler loving?

Great ideas, I'll hafta look back when Chloe gets a Lil older! I've always wondered if those fruit pouches were good or not, glad to know they are!
