Obsessions


Tate has always had obsessions... When he was only a year old life revolved around clocks. He called them "Gocks" and would be sure to notice them hanging on the walls everywhere we went.

At age two life was all about candles "gaggles". He had his own little collection of small ones. He preferred them unlit, and would carry them around smelling them constantly. He would also line them up in a row and play "house" with them if you will.

When he was three his obsession was fans. He liked every type but especially the small hand held ones.

At age four life was about vacuums "gacooms". Every time we went to the store, he would request to go down the vacuum isle. He would always amaze me by naming the different brands of vacuums that were in the store. He would also go to family members houses, ask to see there vacuums and memorize who had what kind of vacuum (hoover, regina, bissel, dirt devil, dust buster, etc.)

Tate has continued to have obsessions throughout age five. He currently has many of them among which are shells. He has his own collection of them. He doesn't care what kind of shell it is or even if it's cracked or broken... If it's a shell it's a shell and he LOVES it!

  1. The ocean (or gulf) is not far from Houston and there are a lot of shells there!
