I had three little boys under the age of six at one time, and they would watch the same couple of videos over and over and over until I could mouth the words along myself. The videos were about trucks! It's just a phase that kids this age go through, nothing more. Completely normal.

Each of my kids had a favorite book that they asked me to read to them over and over, too. To the point I had the book memorized. They just like what's familiar sometimes, it's comforting to them in a crazy upside down world.
