OCD?

I found my toddler making this array of blocks yesterday for the first time! I didn’t know he could do that. But lately he’s been more and more OCD with things. Especially doors, he loves to close every door of the house and open and close the balcony many times a day. He has to close the doors before you even get out. If he gets out first he closes it behind him. He loves pressing all the buttons - like when you go to the lift you choose up or down but he always presses both even when we tell him not to. And he wants to turn off the light or press the basin plug closed every time he washes his hands.
He likes closing the drawers even when you’re trying to take stuff out! He likes neat things though, he will sort out some pencils in a box - taking them out and then putting them back rather than colouring in. He doesn’t tend to do that for messy things.
He loves watching the bath water drain and then goes to the actual drain to watch it gurgle.
Recently he’s been putting tissue paper that he’s “used” down the toilet just so he can press the flush button because we tell him he can only do that when there’s something in there and when he’s done a poo.
He loves to go into the bunny pen and shovel bunny litter either in or out of the bin. He loves copying us in using the dustpan but he can’t do it, he just makes a mess. He loves using the vacuum cleaner but he’s scared of actually turning it on so he’ll just take part of it and pretend to vacuum around the house.

This kid is funny. Hopefully he can help me do the chores some day ;) when he’s competent enough not to make a mess haha.
