For months I have been saying, "Put it back" as I clean things up with the eternal hope that Ignacio would soon grasp the concept of kindly cleaning up after himself. I sweetly imagine the day when I no longer trail behind him all day breaking my tender back picking up everything he throws, drops, drags and moves. Whether it is toilet paper strewn about the bedroom floor or plastic blocks dancing down the hallway, mommy has been eager for Ignacio to grasp the developmental ability to "put it back!"
Well, the day has nearly arrived and then some. I am slowly finding that Ignacio is somewhat of a "neat freak" now that he is able to "put it back" and here is a video to prove it. Notice he only has one shoe on because the video was shot as he approached the shoe rack to find his other one, only to notice that things were quite in disarray. Oh no, it could not be. Notice at the end of the video when he pushed the shoe so it is in line with the other!
He has quite an eye and is making mommy (a self-proclaimed neat freak) proud. Nothing like passing on your anxious tendencies to your child! Hopefully when he is older he is able to have guests unexpectently stop by without nearly having a panic attack because the house isn't perfect or relax and enjoy a day even when the kitchen floor is dirty and your socks stick to it. I hope I learn that some day too.
