At first I thought it was Harper who had acquired the White hoarding gene as she used to walk around with her arms full of item she "collected" through out the house, but then that passed as she tended to inspect something, then throw it down or place it in some collection point, like the tub. But lately, I am starting to see the it show up even stronger in Lucy. She gets as many items as she can, her favorites: Baby, Coco, Elmo, milk, hop-hop (bunnies), etc. and places them in her stroller to push around the house, much like a little, 18-month old bag lady. If anyone approaches her prized possessions, they are greated by her warning "EHHHH" sound, causing the warned party to abruptly disengage. Here she is on Saturday. Contents included: milk in purple sippy cup, 2 long-legged girl bunnies from Easter, 2 Coco's, Elmo and baby - all in one stroller. And another picture of her taking inventory and repositioning her items a short time later. At least I will have an ally when Jenny wants to purge some items.

If truth be told - it is not the White gene but the Simmons gene! When my day of reconning comes, there will be nothing for you from the White side - It will all come from BB's side!!!!
Yeah, we've got the same thing going on at our house... except that they deposit everything in their truck of choice. Truman screams bloody murder when Gus enters the room where he is hoarding his stuff. Must be Grandpa Vinny who is the culprit in our family (biggest pack rat that walked the earth!).
