Hello I have a 2.5-year-old that will be three in October I made a post about this before but I didn’t really get a lot of comments but I just would like some reassurance that he doesn’t have OCD or something bothering him. He’s a generally sweet boy he makes a mess of other things but there’s certain things that he collects in a dinosaur bucket all his dinosaur toys and a few trucks and stuff he wants stacked in there and if I take one out to put it into a different basket he put it back. I’m not sure if this is just toddler behavior but I feel bad like he doesn’t want to play with his toys because he wants them all in that bucket instead. It breaks my heart. His vocabulary is great he’s social and happy. Eats good.

Maybe I’m over reacting but it would be nice to hear some stories of kids that are completely normal they did similar things for a while and maybe it’s just a phase.

I just took a bunch of dinosaurs out of the “collection” bucket and set them up on the table- he let me and didn’t have a fit. He’s playing with the stuff now- another thing he does is he turns his plates to always have the big side in the front near him, if I turn it he will turn it back. Maybe just a product of routines and not OCD I don’t know.
