Vacuum obsess much?

As I have mentioned before Elem is currently going through a phase of loving the vaccum-"bat-mum" as he likes to call it. Initially the obsession started with anything that had a motor (loud ones at that), and he still does love all that stuff-lawn mowers, blowers, airplanes, cars, etc. But for some reason the vacuum is the favorite. Every morning we get up, and about 5 minutes after he is up, he looks at me with puppy dog eyes, and says, "bat-mum", which always sounds like batman, and then points. We have to keep the vacuum in our spare bedroom, in a closet, with the door to that room closed, or else that thing would be out every chance he got. So when I am ready, Ill go open that door and he goes right in to the closet, opens the closet, and pulls out the vacuum. Now mind you we still have our old vacuum sitting out at the end of the bed in that very same room, but it is broken, and he can never be fooled. He knows that one is no good, and only gets it as a last resort. So he pulls the "bat-mum" out and all the way into the living room, and proceeds to tell us to plug it in. If we dont, he will start unwrapping things, and go to the outlet to plug it in. So bad I know, and they all have outlet covers, but that doesnt stop him from trying! So once plugged in, he runs to the vacuum and points at it and says "ligh oh" for light on. Which is what happens when you turn the thing on. So he flips the switch, on comes the light, and he starts vacuuming! :) He even knows how to click the button with his little foot to bend it down so he can work it just the right way. It is so funny, and he does this all day at home, all day at school-which makes all the other kids want to do it, and then all night long. I dont know why he is so obsessed??!! But it really is cute. But at times, a little frustrating because who wants to hear the vacuum all the time while you are trying to relax! Here is a little snipit of what he can do!
