All the toys are in the family room only. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and stepping on legos makes me want to vomit too.MerrandaVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272925186316062741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801338783140688273.post-9086309964170545762008-08-31T05:34:00.000-04:002008-08-31T05:34:00.000-04:00Just letting you know that I've made the same comm...Just letting you know that I've made the same comment to my kiddos. I've also said better and much worse. I have a hard time with my middle daughter. She is a hoarder. I don't save anything and run this house like a tidy ship. She saves everything. Even stuff like gum wrappers. Tooth picks. I mean really. :)Lakeville Verticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449330890656567014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801338783140688273.post-3425862791034415222008-08-30T04:03:00.000-04:002008-08-30T04:03:00.000-04:00I have been trying to get my son to clean his room...I have been trying to get my son to clean his room for a long time. He now says, "you do it". And he knows I will cuz I can't stand the mess.

I too cannot stand the "toy mess." Haven't been successful at getting Cole to help too much either. I keep trying to think of easier ways to organize them and put them away, but it doesn't seem to help. And I often wonder if most of my life isn't spent "picking up" things. And for me it's not just toys. You can tell exactly what my hubby has been doing if he is home because nothing gets closed or put back there is a literal trail behind him:) I keep reminding myself though that they are still little and when I am old I can sit in my organized house and feel lonely:)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527745668531733041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801338783140688273.post-19323229507678415202008-08-29T22:08:00.000-04:002008-08-29T22:08:00.000-04:00Well, I hate to say it but I am so glad I am not t...Well, I hate to say it but I am so glad I am not the only one that has this issue. One thing that is working now is we have a 'toy pantry', which is a closet that they can put all their toys in inside of crates and basket dedicated to different types of toys. <BR/><BR/>So, sometimes I try to make a game of picking up and we even have a little song. But other times I just wade through the sea of toys on the floor and let it be ;)Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13289834094119452075noreply@blogger.com
