My Son’s Strange Behavior

Meet Ryder. He's my youngest son and is a bubbling little 3 year old until he gets mad of course. When he gets mad there's a lot of crying, rolling around on the floor and so on.

Within the last couple of days or so, my wife and I noticed him doing something kind of strange when he gets mad. The crying and floor issues are still there, but take a look at this shelf. this is how it is supposed to be.

Notice the little animals on it? Well this is what it looks like after he has been mad.

I'm confused. He doesn't pick them up and throw them. He simply takes them off the shelf, places them on the floor and walks away. He has done this several times since this past weekend. Honestly, it kind of cracks me up because it's so unusual to me. I would expect him to throw them or break them. However, in his madness, he gently pulls them off and sets them down.

I know he is trying to make a statement. I get that. I simply would expect something different. This just seems so random to me. :-)
