Chase seems to be a little young to have an obsession, but he does. He is obsessed with the Blue Man Group. We have a couple of Blue Man Group DVDs and CDs and it's all he can think about. He listens to them when he's going to bed, when he gets up in the morning and throughout the day. When he's not listening to the CDs he's begging us to let him watching the videos. And the entire time he drums Blue Man Group songs using anything he can get his hands on. If he can't find his sticks he uses spatulas. If he can't find the spatulas he uses spoons. If he can't find spoons he uses the beaters from the mixer. And he drums on everything in the house. He loves to watch the video while jumping up and down on the couch and drumming at the same time.

Although it drives us a little crazy I try not to discourage him because he actually does drum very well. He can keep the beat with the songs and when he's just drumming around the house I can easily identify the songs he's playing.

Every once in a while I can get him to focus on other things, such as drawing. Here's a picture he drew the other day: View image.
