I wanted to share two things about Jake. Jake loves order. He wants his world to proceed on schedule without any glitches. (He gets this trait from his mother.) He feels most secure when he is at home and when his home is well run. He likes to keep his favorite things in a safe location. He likes his peeps to stay home. When we leave, he wants to know when we will be back. He insists that we are well stocked on his favorite foods. When supplies start running low, he repeatedly asks us "When will you get more bananas (jam, milk, etc.)". He doesn't trust us to do our job without supervision. Yes, our Jake boy is orderly.
The second thing about Jake is that he still hasn't opened five of his Christmas gifts. He unwrapped them on Christmas Eve, but he won't open the packaging on them and play with them. His received a Yahtzee, Jr. game and his Mom has offered to play it with him, but he refuses to take the plastic off the box. We gave him a small pirate Playmobil set, but he won't open it up either. He received bug spectacles, but again, he shrieks if you attempt to take them out of their packaging. Why am I surprised at this behavior? It's a corollary to his hoarding. Fortunately, his little quirks only make us love him more.
