Here is a recent picture I took of the top of his dresser.
This is where he keeps all his "special things." Things that I have basically told him to keep out of Jessica's reach, that started with just a small coin collection, has now grown into this...
This is Jackson with his collection of stuffed animals. This little group has grown by about 10 animals since Christmas Eve, when he began getting new animals as presents.
During the day, Jackson will gather this group of animals and load them into a large bin; he will then push them around from one place to another, taking them out to play every now and then.
I took this picture of Jackson today when he was waking up from his nap. Apparently, he wanted to be closer to his animals while he slept, but not close enough to sleep on top of them, so he squeezed his way into the crack between the big bed and the toddler bed (which we actually use for daycare, but has now been taken over by Jackson's animals while we are on Christmas break). It was in this little crevice he was somehow able to find a comfy place to doze off and go to sleep.
SO, I think it's time we have a little chat with our son about possibly reducing his toy/animal stashes to a "reasonable" amount :).
Like I said before, I think this is pretty "normal" behavior for kids to demonstrate; we are not at all worried. I just thought it'd make for a cute post on the blog so we can show him these pictures someday.

I had a laugh when I saw the pictures! I just put Dawson to bed and I was giving him a hard time about all his animals (3) he NEEDS to sleep with. After seeing Jackson with his collection, I guess I shouldn't give Dawson a hard time:)
Hmmmmm - we just started telling Will to keep those things high and away from Wyatt - he is starting to show these tendencies, too! He puts all his treasures on the table to play with or on the stairs behind the baby gate to "keep them safe from Wyatt." :)
