Hoarders: toddler edition
Joshua, our middle child has always had hoarding tendencies. He would (and still does) cram all sorts of random junk into bags or boxes and carry them around the house and stack them in "secret" places. Now he has a backpack that he packs all sorts of things into including a full change of apparel, snacks and money.
Now, my sweet little baby is turning into a hoarder too! Or pack rat, not sure which. He picks up as many toys as he can find at once and MUST carry them all at the same time. As you can see from his big crocodile tear, he has trouble carrying it all and has a complete and total meltdown every morning because things keep dropping. I've tried to get him to carry a bag like his brother, but he still doesn't get it. And yes, that is a mini-colander on his head. It's his "hat".

You should be concerned when it is no longer cute. Clearly it's not to that point yet :)
Haha! I have to laugh because my middle daughter does this. She's eight now so she doesn't pack it around but her drawers are chuck full of... Garbage!! It drive me nuts.
Must be a middle child thing... Maybe? There must be a psychological explanation.
At least its not strewn about all over the place and he is orderly with it! I like his hat!
Ha Ha! My kids have all had hoarding tendencies at different points in their lives. I'm hopeful that they will all grow into normal, functioning adults who like to throw away everything, like me. :)
How funny! My middle son does the exact thing and I just don't get it. Glad to know there are others out there..
Nothing wrong with carrying around a box or armful of your favorite things! Especially when they are so cute about it!! Your boys are adorable Cari!
