OCD

Geoff & I are both obsessive compulsive . Usually about different things, so we kind of balance each other out. Poor Kirkland got a double dose of it!

If you try to help him clean up his toys when he does not want help. He will dump them all back out on the floor, so that he can pick them up himself. Same thing if you go & get his shoes. He will walk his shoes back upstairs, put them back on the floor, just to pick them right back up & walk them back downstairs. What is this?

I was getting ready this morning, and sometimes I don't close the dresser drawers back all the way, and Kirkland comes behind me, closes the drawers, and tells me, "Mommy...you are supposed to keep these closed". This is funny to me b/c this is one of Geoff's pet peeves as well! (I secretly think Geoff taught him to say this!)

Our dog, like probably all dogs, smells things. This drives Kirkland up the wall! He will go behind Hicks, wiping off whatever Hicks has smelled. The entire time telling Hicks "No, don't smell that". He wipes off the couch, the floor, the kitchen chairs no less than 30 times a day. If Hicks smells him, then watch out-major meltdown in about 2 seconds!
