Here's when the obsession started.
We were finding "older" toys to donate before Christmas arrived, because we knew Daniel'd have more cars and trains and trucks than he'd know what to do with. However, we noticed when we pulled out these cars/trucks from the garage, Daniel began lining them up... with all of their faces facing the same way.
When he got trains for Christmas, he lined them up as well.
When he got home, he put his tracks together and lined every.single.train.and.tender up on the track.
When he realized that he had Cars as well, he lined them up in a separate line. I suppose because Daniel realized they were "different."
Again, the cars are all facing the same way.
Impressive for a 20-month-old, right?!
He even lines up his bath squirters!
And, when he got more from his Mema,
he did the very same thing at her house.
Daniel's most impressive car/train/truck/tender line yet!
They are ALL FACING THE SAME DIRECTION!!!
Today, he decided he could line up his cars and trains in a new place, the chair seat. He even continued his "line" onto the arm of the chair!
And, of course, there is always a line of trains somewhere left behind.
So, fellow friends and readers, does your child do this?! Have you had a child that ever lined up his/her toys? If so, share it with me. If not, what do you think this indicates in a 20-month-old?!
I'm certainly hoping it means major organizational skills. However, if you saw his closet, you'd wonder why he doesn't "line up" his books?! I'm not worried one bit. I love this little habit he's gotten into lately. I'm so amazed by the detailed mind of my little one.
