As a child who was WAY persnickety (since many reading this blog know me, I KNOW you are all cracking up over this) I can relate to Rosie's desire for order and cleanliness at all costs.<BR/><BR/>But good news: she'll grow out of it. Nurture goes a long way. You can unlearn some OCD stuff as long as it's not serious OCD (I mean, the friend who needs to touch the burners before she leaves the house--it's not rational, it's something she HAS to do to make sure they're really off. Although it strikes me that if, one day, one of them isn't really off--she's in for a bad wake up call).<BR/><BR/>Maybe, also, even at this tender age, Rosie is asserting her own independence? A way of declaring herself different, an iconoclast in the making? A way of diferentiating herself from her big sister?Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13261371053113519712noreply@blogger.com
