I made a promise to myself this year that the toys will be organized. I went to Target during a sale last week and dropped over a hundred bucks for 2 shelves and fabric bins. I then spent the following day building and going through the 7 Ikea bins of random toys and notice the Destruction of their toys.....
Ion Man was missing a leg and head....A few cars had no wheels......I realized then that I was a Toy hoarder and my kids were not taking care of what they have. I sat down on the floor and promised myself that I will never do this again. I showed Zack (5) that if something breaks and cannot be fixed it will be thrown away. I also explained that he needs to take care of his things or we will not buy him anything.
Dylan is having a hard time with the new policy, that you must put something away before a new toy is pulled out, but if I nip this in the bud now, I will see a huge improvement later.
It has been over a week now since I started this project and see the positive in it. the boys are doing better each day and realize that not everything has to be mixed up and they can find their toys much faster!
Feel like I knocked this one outta the ball park!! Wooot!
My Story
- Joys of Little Boys
- I am a thirty-something mom of 3 very rambunctious boys and now a sweet baby girl. I began my journey 6 years ago when my son Zachary was born and life hasn't stopped since. I may have a little girl, but I am still running around this house after 3 little boys, who never seem to run out of steam!
