It was something you commented about on someone else's thread earlier today, that made me stop and think about my dd.
Her behaviour recently is getting increasingly 'OCD' for want of a better term.
Everything has to be 'just so'...well, it always has tbh, but even more so recently.
She was born knowing her own mind in fact her consultant at 5mo remarked on it! He said it would be fabulous when she was older, but quite difficult until then
She has always needed a strong bedtime routine for example- was a terrible sleeper as an infant, and I did pick-up, out-down from the baby whisperer to sleep train her around 7 mo, as I was going round the bend by then.
Recently, her routine keeps getting 'added to' by dd herself- she just has to put on her cream (nivea on her lips that she's been picking to death), but if I pick the pot up of her bedside table she freaks - absolutely loses it, the only way she can snap out of hyserics is for me to put the pot back, and let her pick it up.
This doesn't sound like much, I know, nor does it sound abnormal for someone her age (2.2), BUT when she is like this over every aspect of her life....gah.
She is very very independent- wants to do everything herself (except dress herself)- gets so irate when you don't let her (yeah, normal I know).
