Put him in front of the real thing and have him vacuum your floors! If it's any consolation, my son was saying just the other day how he wished he was a girl (it had something to do with their cool clothes). He's definitely in touch with his feminine side - I think he may have a career in musical theatre ahead of him. ;) I say take advantage of this vacuum phase while it lasts!

I remember a time when he was scared to death of a certain Vacuum. And sorry to say my dear he is your child! Sounds waaaayyyy to much like his mommy! LOL BFF! He loves to play outside at my house and I promise I'll put Dodge in his kennel :) Give the kid a break…he is making great progress! I remember a time when he was scared to death of a certain Vacuum.

Clean house, happy child, relaxed mommy....

Dryer vents and gutters are manly. He probably knows more about how a building is engineered than most kids. Maybe he could vacuum up the fir cones with a shop-vac. The Hannah Montana thing I don't know. Consider the vacuum a manly shop-vac. Dryer vents and gutters are manly. He probably knows more about how a building is engineered than most kids.

I am the shy quiet quirky clean freak introvert of a Mama with an outgoing, adventurous extrovert of a daughter...who at 4 is already stressing me the hell out. I wanted to tell you that for the brief time Livi was sensitive to sounds, touch.. etc.... the OT's would put the pine cone( playdough, grass) in a zip loc baggie... let her look at it, the touch it on the outside of the bag and then take babysteps to accepting the new weird feeling object.
