The Collector!

Right now Zack's main love in life is balls...Balls...BALLS...but we've noticed that he likes to "gather" collections of things and hoard them to himself....sometimes he even hides his collections....I assume from Jake. He gathers up all the balls, blocks, cars, cups, pacifiers, coasters, or shape sorters that we have and either carries them around in his arms or his man-bag or he hides them under a corner of the couch, behind the curtains, under the couch pillows, inside his rocket seat or inside the Ugly Spider-man couch. We joke that he might have OCD but hopefully not....hopefully he just likes to keep his treasures to himself and it's a faze of not liking to share and he'll get over that soon.

"Don't even think about taking these cars from me Mommy."



"Hey Zack! Lookie at what Daddy has!!"


"Wow! A collection of redneck monster trucks....perfectly lined up! EXCELLENT!!"
"Let me take these off your hands Daddy."
"One at a time....slow and steady."
"OK...I'll just hide these away for safe keeping....but where?"
"DAG!!! Dropped them....lets start over."


"Gotcha!"


"Now over to the couch where you'll be safe."


"I love you collection of redneck monster trucks. I'll take good care of you.""Too hard to try to carry you guys.....into the man-bag you go! Much easier!"

And here is further evidence of Zack's collecting and hiding hobby.

Wow, that takes talent to carry all those trucks at one time! Kat does this with her books. I think it's a hoarding defense to protect them from their twin. I love the man-bag (it's not a purse!).

HILARIOUS!! I am impressed with how many trucks Zack can carry. I think my collector will be Brandon. He loves to carry things from one place to another.

This is so funny! I, too, can't believe he can carry so many trucks at one time-- plus line them up so nicely. As for balls, Drew is so into them, too. He likes to point them out anywhere and everywhere!!

That is hilarious!!!! Nicholas tries to carry everything at once too. But those redneck monster trucks are pretty cool. Maybe a little kleptomania as a toddler? lol
