Like Father, Like Daughter

January 8, 2009 by Amy

I’ve had clues that Lexi might be a little…tidy…organized..obsessive…OCD…whatever fits…just like Scott.  It started when she was young and would get upset when you moved her cup from whatever side of her plate she had it on.  She would chastise you and move it back.

Recently, she has started insisting her sock get pulled up as tight as possible so “her shoes don’t have a problem”.  Which I can’t blame her on that one really.

Then Monday we were at the grocery store where the kids both push a kids shopping cart.  I picked up 3 cans of veggies and gave Lexi the first two which she aligned in her cart and then handed the 3rd to Emma.  Lexi looked at me and said, “Mommy, I was going to line all 3 up.”  So I gave it to her and she did…lined them up in a straight line down the side of her cart.

But today tops all.  She’s watching TV and I hear her say, “Mommy, I want that!”  Scott and I assumed it was another toy.  But no.  It was a commerical for these:

So she could hang up her dress-up dresses.  Oh boy.

    Oh if you could just see my daughters room – home from college – sleeping on the couch – too much stuff on her bed – she needs a bunch of those. Life is good. sj

    Sherry, there is definitely an upside to being “tidy”
