So I pulled up this in your list and I found it funny and scary. We are responsible for the way our children see life and the world. What I mean is that those first few tender years are the formative years. To tell you the truth, I'd much rather have a "wiper" and a "picker-upper" than the opposite. "A place for everything,and everything in it's place", my grandpapa's advice (one of many that molded me). I can find what I need if it's where it's suppose to be! No2 rule in my house. Life teaches to relax a little about that. It did me! So anyway, as long as it is not to the point of having a disorder, your little guy will get his own ways. Having good habits to start with is like having good moral values. Two good foundations that can be built upon.

Me, my kids? Let's just say it's just as well that we're on another planet from you...we'd drive both you AND your husband stark raving mad! :) My friend Heather is weird like you and she has kids like that too.
