Look at what Reh did!

I found this yesterday evening in Reh's room just after I'd settled them down in front of the TV downstairs. I came back upstairs to tidy up the rooms and Reh is the sort of kid who likes his privacy. I know at the age of three you think - what privacy??? but thats how he is. Locks his room from the inside out even if he's going to school just so no one goes inside and does what God knows. Read his diary? (Any Scorpios out there who want to enlighten me?)

He likes to arrange all his toys in some order only he knows the rules to and God forbid anyone dismantles that order then he's an upset little boy. I tried reasoning with him, (since I'm the bull in the china shop that invariably scatters the cars or blocks around or sends them tumbling) but to no avail. He enjoys the sorting and placing them in various spots in the room and I thought so be it. Whether it's a phase or a order/disorder ( gulp! God forbid) God knows, there's no way but to just play along with him. It's another thing that you cant walk into his room without thinking it's landmine filled and you better practice walking on eggshells or risk an amputated toe. or perforations in your heel thanks to the blocks. I managed to once even send myself sailing out of the room with my foot on a car, cartoon style. Since then I'm always wary around steps bcos I dont want my foot to land on a ball and then have a whiplash or worse. But I digress.

Yesterday like I was typing, I went in to clean and there I saw this on the bed. The two teddy bears, all tucked in and I was thrilled. Reh loves playing house with his sis, it's not like he's a car and guns kind of boy but this was the first time that he tucked the two teddy bears into bed without it being some prompt in an imaginary play with Nosh. Or maybe it was the first time that I noticed since they were isolated little bears and not in the middle of the menagerie elsewhere with the others.

But I was thrilled. Thrilled to bits. That there was some sweet game/scene going on his head in his room behind his door and that led to him tucking the two bears in. **sigh**
