How do you know when your 2 year old ‘loves’ something?

It's when you go to Walmart and cannot leave the store without another one of those toys. We're up to bin 5 of cars (Disney, Hot Wheels, Matchbox) and bin 2 of dinosaurs. We even have dinosaur pull back cars...
We did not introduce him to dinosaurs. He just saw the toys when Rebirth came out

I'm the same as you. I think that a lot of parents project to their kids what they like. Most your kids/toddler doesn't really care what they play with. They can have fun with pretty much everything

We did no screen time so she never loved a particular character. But I’ve always said that my daughter loves high heels, because since being a baby in a pushchair she would light up and point and stare at any lady in high heels, and if we went to other people’s homes she would try and put other people shoes on if they had a heel! So it doesn’t have to be a tv show for them to love something, just follow their interests.

If it’s a tv show or film, then you’ll know because they’ll only want to watch that over and over 🤪 Same for a favourite book - you won’t be allowed to read anything else.
And toys, they’ll just play with the same thing over and over. My boy loves cars, he can play with them all day and requests new cars if we go anywhere that might sell them 😂🫣

My son loves cars he watches the movie on repeat daily multiple times a day if I let him he love cars toys gets excited when I pull out shirts or things that have cars he is just genuinely excited for them
