Mr. Clean

I might be potentially raising an obsessive compulsive child. Currently Case is “obsessed” with cleanliness. He walks around the house pointing out any floor imperfection by either yelling “icky” or “mess.” If there if poop in the cat box, I am immediately informed. If there is a piece of dirt on the floor, he points it out. Even if he walks into a room and his own toys are strewn all about, he will identify the scene as a “mess.” The other day I could barely get off the toilet and turned around to flush before he started screaming “icky, icky!” Apparently he was disturbed that I had defiled the toilet. When eating in the high chair he wants his hands “clean, clean” after every few bites. And if the tray gets too dirty that must be wiped off as well.

I know this is probably just a phase and my little boy will grow into a messy mud loving toddler soon, but until then my house from 2 feet down is being kept white glove perfect because the inspector is always on duty.

Here he is taking a break from inspection duty long enough to enjoy some summer Watermelon with his new summer hair cut.
