Pick Up Your Toys!

My daughter is like every other kid, she leaves her toys around the house.

What usually happens when I find them is that they will go on top of the refrigerator until she can earn them back with some extra chores like cleaning her bathroom sink, wiping the mirrors or cleaning the sliding glass door until it is free of dog prints. Oh wait, that is my job. The top of the refrigerator is full and the top of the armoir hasn't been dusted in weeks due to the amount of stuff there. Something needed to be done, so last night I made a deal with her. If by bedtime every night, her room is picked up and her clothes are picked out for the next day, she can pick one thing to take back, if she hasn't done those things then I get to pick one thing, and that is great, because she has some great DVDs up there.

It worked last night, she took back a Barbie, but as all experiments go, it must run over a period of time and with all the toys and clothes up there, it could run for weeks.

Stay tuned!
