Early warning signs?

Should I be worried that my 3 year old is exhibiting some signs of OCD? Like for example when he has to make sure the DVD has to be turned so that it's right-side-up in the DVD player before he closes the lid? Or when he spotted a Kool-Aid packet lying on the floor in Wal-Mart and made me put it back where it belonged? Or when he always locks the inside lock on the car door next to his car seat? Or when he noticed among the colored row of beach buckets on the floor in the dollar store there was a green shovel in the yellow bucket and told me to put the green shovel in the green bucket? Hmmmm...

I'm thinking you should be singing praises!! He'll be the only one of his friends to have a clean room! ~ Rachel is a little particular about some things, too. Her timing isn't always the greatest; otherwise I'm usually okay with her being "neat". What I do have a problem with is her not wanting to play w/her toys because "it makes a mess". Help!
