Toddlerhood Obsessions.

I know it is a natural stage of development to develop preferences and opinions in toddlerhood. Well, I had no clue it would be so particular and, at times, ridiculous. One of Liv's many obsessions is how she goes to bed. When we tuck Liv in be for every nap and nighttime she needs her Dora blanket on top of her and then her green down comforter. If they are not covering every part of her body, she will let you know. If you leave the room, she comes to her bedroom gate and asks me to re tuck her in. She also needs to have two binkies. One for her mouth and one for her hand. I am sure there are many people out there who feel a binky at 2.5 is a bad habit. I am well aware of that, but it keeps us sane and I have yet to hear of a kid getting their diploma with one in their mouth.
Liv also has to take a visual scan of her bedroom before she settles into bed. If there is anything in her room that is on the floor or for some strange reason annoying her, she has to take it and throw it in the hallway. Who knows, maybe she will be an interior decorator or Feng Shui specialist and it messes with her flow of Chi.
