I’ve heard that some kids learn their parents’ OCD as a habit.
But I don’t know where Amelia gets some of her actions from. Henk reckons from him, but considering the state of the house after he gets home, he isn’t a likely suspect.
Maybe she picks it up from the daymom. Ok from me too I suppose. Whenever a cupboard door is slightly ajar, she will close it; mostly after inspecting the inventory first in case she has found the secret stash of noms.
If she sees any shoes lying around she picks them up and takes them to the rightful owner. Over Christmas she tried to pick up my dad’s shoes: they were leather ankle high boots, size 13. She started crying when they wouldn’t budge.
At home she fetches my sandals where I kicked them off in the corner, or if she can open it, she puts them away in my shoe closet. And don’t think she mismatches them! 4 pairs can be lying in a heap and she will bring a matching pair (of course I tested her. That’s how I parent).
So with this new knowledge of cupboards and closets, she is venturing to hiding things. So far I’ve found her missing bottle in the cubby hole of her ride on, tupperware (her sectional bowl) in the dryer, and her books stacked with my library.
This opens a whole new level me thinking for me when looking for any missing item, lol.
Every Spring the veld in Namaqualand is a-bloom in oranges, reds, yellows and blues. We got snap-happy between the daisies.

I know why there were so few pics this month. This was the month Amelia was cutting her first tooth. Of course we had little sleep and she wasn’t feeling very smurfie, hence the lack of digital portraits
