Obsession with closing doors, gates, drawers.....

My dd is 25 mths, and for a while now has been obsessed with closing doors, particularly the safety gate into the kitchen (she has to get off her chair and run to close it if she's eating and someone walks through and leaves it open!), and drawers even if they are open an inch. I'm not worried about it, but am interested if others of her age are like this at all?
Oh, and if our poor cats dare to eat out of "each other's" bowl, she stands over them shouting "wrong bowl, wrong bowl"!

my 17month old daughter is constantly shutting doors, drawers and cupboards that get left open. I think because we always tell her to close the door after she walks through, she has just learnt to do it herself, but just gets a bit obsessive sometimes. she is going through a stage of having to have everything in it's place.
My dd - 29 months is obsessed with doors too. Yesterday we went to a friends and she shut her dd's finger in the door and took off her finger nail - spent the day in hospital feeling absolutely terrible! I sure wish she would get over her obsession with doors too

We usually find little cars in amongst the tupperware and the tinned food. And we have got into the habit of looking under the duvet before getting into bed. Little cars and lego a bit hard on one's bottom.
I'm a CM who has been in childcare for over 30 years, and I think I have seen all the schema's in one shape or form in those years, some can be more 'challanging' than others.
(Envolping can be the most entertaining

ever looked everywhere for mobile/pens/shoes/coffee cup/ anything really, and finally find it wrapped up in a play handbag, in the dolls pram under all the blankets?

Defo has to close all the doors, even if we are visting someone elses house and on ocassion when they are still in it

WshosheBANG - thank you.

These schema things are a bit funny, but it was obvious what types my children are (though DS1 is starting on the "connection" thing now ...) It's good to know that they didn't do things especially to piss you off, especially the "trajectory" types!
Sing Opening/closing of things comes under the transporting Schema

My 4yo still likes to swing off the kitchen cupboard doors when he is in the kitchen - highly irritating as he is now a lot heavier than he was 2 years ago and one day I am convinced they will fall off. I keep telling him to stop it but he does not even seem to realise he is doing it. grrrrrrrr
My DS is 2 years 8 months and is still like that. Mind you I'm the same, I hate going to sleep if my knicker draw is even slightly open.
He must take after me.
I worry slightly as well when he's coming down the stairs but still has to close the top stair gate. Funny really, and cute!!
