...ORGANIZING TOFU: normal? or a symptom of OCD?

the organizer gene kicks in at about the same time as the climbing gene. This evening I sat with Susi while she spent 30 minutes emptying toys OUT of a bucket and then replacing them immediately BACK into the same bucket. Apparently, this is FASCINATING.

This organizing behavior began about a week ago,and Susi is darned serious about it. We normally put food bits (tofu, carrot, and potato chunks) out on her high chair tray for her to eat. Last Wednesday, K put out her dinner and then left to answer the door for a package. When he returned he discovered that Susi had moved ALL of the food bits off the tray and into one of the sections of her dinner plate.

She is rather meticulous....but still appears normal. or at least rather happy about the prospects of organizing tofu.
