My 3 year old son

Great stories all. :thumbsup:

My 2 yo daughter is a flashlight pro too.

Knowing how to click them on and when to use them (bed time stories, hiding in the closet or under the quilt)

Whenever we come home after dark, she gets out of the car, asks for a torch (or a "tich" as she says it) and wants to look for snails.

I bought her a big, bright yellow playskool torch but she never touches it. Preferring one of the Surefires.
(was thinking of modding the incan playskool torch into an LED. That would scare a few kids)

Heart skips a beat though whenever she bashes my U2by2 and C2 together. :faint: Ah, kids!!!!

The GloToob in the bathtub idea sounds like fun.

Our two and a half year old daughter likes "fwash-wights".

I attribute it to a day when my wife was about 6 months pregnant with her. I took a 4D maglite and shined it on her belly in an attempt to determine if I could see any shadows, kind of like a farmer looking at chicken eggs.

Immediately, the kid.....she jumped and spun around and started hitting at the light from inside the womb. My wife was both laughing and screaming at this. Well, two and a half years later, this kid is a flashaholic.:twothumbs

Now, there is a Boy on the way. My wife is about 4 months pregnant with him. I am basically forbidden from doing the flashlight thingy again.:laughing:

My Daughter in 2 and a half and she loves flashlights. She makes excuses to go in a room to use them. I usually program lights on a very low setting or put a tape diffuser over the lens so it safer for her to use. He favorite names of lights that she says all the time are "Nobatac" and "Kroma". She has one of the kids floating lights that is an incandescent and has a red, green and blue led. So we read at night and I use my Kroma Mil-Spec and she uses the same color with her light.

Interestingly he is definitely a pocket lights kind of guy - definitely drawn toward the smaller end of the spectrum.

I can identify with that... our pre-schooler prefers hand sized lights over the larger lights too (despite them also being higher output), I often need to inquire where the backup light out of my work bag has gone LMAO :crackup:

He's impressed with the massive (by comparison) HID lights I own but at almost a fourth of his size EDC's are the way to go :thumbsup:


BTW nice stories guys... I also like the special illuminated bath tub suggestion, consider it borrowed! :D
