Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Lou, Very similar stuff here. lovesto fill containers. Cans, baskets, bags excetera. The worse thing is: We are finishing our house which my husband and I built ourselves. Construction comes with little hole and spaces in unfinished floors and walls and pipes. loves to fill them with little toys and cars and soft beanie animals. We have learned to not leave these places exposed, but it took us adults awhile to get it. Pam Mom to 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 My guy is 12 going on 13 and is always stacking his videos in the living room until they are " just so " . If you touch them he tells you to " stop it " or just yells real loud at his brothers. Whenever we go to visit anyone he packs up his backpack with videos, his favorite stuffed whale, books, papers and last time, even a bathing suit! Whenever I tell him we're going to so and so's house, he's says, " OK, I go pack. " What a trip he is! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of dolls, lines up beanie babies..along with the videos and books. Oh yea, shampoo bottles, too. Right now the Donkey Kong cartridge goes where goes. Guess it's his self impossed transition aide. I once picked him up from the pool instead of camp and his lunch bag was still at camp. No biggie..NOT! He pitched such a fit and I had to sign I want what and he said Donkey Kong...then I realized it was in his lunch bag. I drove the 30 minutes back to camp/daycare and had a very happy child. Lately he has wanted me to pack his dinner in his lunch bag so he can take it and pretend he's at camp...lol!! , Mom to , age 6 years, 11 months, 364 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Our Josiah, now 11, loves to store his treasures too. It got really bad when my married daughter and her family moved. He was forever packing up everything to move. One evening I was very tired and reclined in the living room to watch some TV. I was listening to him play in his room--which sounded innocent enough. I had left some empty boxes in the room that I intended to use when I did some cleaning and sorting. Later, he called me in to show me his accomplishment. He had packed up nearly every one of his toys and a lot of his clothes. He was MOVING! :-) We also go to a family camp for a week every summer. He used to (every once in a while), pack for camp. I was amazed what a good job he did selecting what to pack. Clothes, shoes, wash cloth, towel, toothbrush and soap in a little baggy, and a bag of toys and books. He doesn't do those things anymore, but he still loves to use old backpacks and old lunch boxes, etc., to put his stuff in. Sincerely, Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
