We've started a new pick-up-or-lose-it policy at bedtime here.
If mom goes upstairs for prayers and story at bedtime and finds toys still not put away,
they become her property and they can only be regained at a price.
Here is my "booty" from two nights ago.
As you can imagine, there were high emotions following this "taking".
However, a night's sleep helped with emotions.
By playtime the next afternoon, the boys had successfully traded a decent quantity
of old toys they no longer want (for mom to officially get rid of)
in order to get back their bag of animal figurines and a Lego man.
The legos, backpack of cars, and stuffed animals/babies are still being held.
Hopefully by the time they are "purchased", our toy room will be much less full!
Love, Us.
