OCD

So I've decided my kids are kind of ocd. Caroline has always been that way, been fussy about knowing exactly how she wants things, being  very organized, very nervous of change, and noticing and getting upset if we do things differently. In a lot of ways you could say she is a mini me, except that she is very extroverted. 

I had thought for awhile that Luke was going to be more laid back, but as it turns out, not so much. For instance when we go to nurse before bed, we have to turn the fan on, one curtain has to be open, the other closed, the door has to be closed. We have to sit in the same spot. If anything is out of place he won't relax and eat. It's part annoying and part funny. 

Luke has very definite ideas of how he wants things and we're discovering as he talks more that a lot of his screaming and frustration has been over not being able to communicate what he wants. For instance he is often a pain,  being unwilling to answer his questions at family worship. Last night we finally figured out he was wanting his to be asked out of a book just like Hunter and Caroline's. So John "read" his questions, and he was happy as could be.
John assures me that Hunter never had these qualities as a little kid so I guess we get to blame it all on me!
