My darling, dashing, comically flawed husband has a bit of OCD. He doesn't turn lights on and off a hundred times, but he does have a fetish for certain kinds of order. Our bills are an incomprehensible mess, but all our books are in alphabetical order. He can't find his keys, but his songs in iTunes are meticulously maintained, labeled and rated. So, today when Violet made the irreversible decision to combine all eight Play-Doh colors into one blob, I had a moment of panic. I tried to separate them and momentarily became frantic. I took a deep breath, allowed reason to enter my lungs and then let it go. Daddy never wants to do Play-Doh anyway. It feels icky on his fingers...

O.C.D. Junior: Volume 1
Given the genetic makeup of my offspring, I know that I will be writing about her burgeoning obsessive compulsive tendencies frequently. This post will no doubt be the first of many.
Today, after washing the honey-nut cereal stick off of her hands, Violet paused for a moment to examine the lever on the kitchen faucet. It was askew in relation to the sink divider and without a hint of irony she adjusted it to be parallel with the center. Having set the world right again she returned to her busy day of filling and emptying little bags full of mismatched toy pieces.
