Its no surprise that Maya takes to her daddy’s side of the
family in looks. Blue eyes, blond hair…but daddy’s OCD is a little surprise. I
should have seen it coming a million miles away but always thought “oh, she’s
just being a girly girl”. Its crystal clear now.
Here’s a few things that Maya
says or does:
-I put a plate down for her with her lunch or dinner, a
small bowl for dipping her ranch, her water cup. She didn’t like the way it was
arranged and says “no mommy you can’t put that there!” and then proceeds to
move her plate to a different position (as if it were crooked), moved her water
and moved her dipping cup. To a more suitable arrangement.
-She is NOT happy if there is a piece of paper, coloring
page, what have you (paper style) that is bent. She can’t put up with it “oh no
mommy, you bent it…what am I going to do now?”
-On her powerchair, we often have to move the joystick panel
to the side in order to get up under a table (like at a restaurant). When we
put it back in place and it is not at a perfect 180 degrees, she totally freaks
out.
-She cuts all her stickers from a sticker page so that they
are a bunch of stickers and puts them in a bowl (like you get at the dr office
as a “prize”) and then INSISTS on putting them back in the bowl as such:
biggest on the bottom with the top being the smallest stickers, and all stickers
have to be faced up. She is currently obsessed with the sticker bowl. Has to go
everywhere with us – bed, car, toilet. Everywhere.
-The middle one. Just like when daddy has to have the middle
cinnamon roll because it is the gooiest, Maya also insists on having the middle
of everything!
-Saving the best for last. At Whataburger for lunch and she
was eating a grilled cheese sandwich. I break everything into pieces. She picks
up this one piece a couple of times and then puts it down saying that she isn’t
going to eat that one. Its apparent why to me and Charlie – it is by far the
cheesiest. Totally saving the best for last. So, being the meanie that I am,
told her that I was going to have a bite and tried to pick up that one piece.
“NO MOMMY” who can’t have THAT one!”. Then, when she finally did decide to eat
it, she lost control and it almost fell on the floor. Whoa. What a catastrophe
that would have been. But in the end no different from her dad. Saving the best
for last doesn’t always have the best outcome guys.
Please tell me its just the age and she will grow out of it!!
