My Youngest Daughter just asked my Mom......
to come over & organize our house!
"Because when mom does it our stuff is gone & I don't like people to come get my stuff & I don't know about it! So you come do it OK?!? "
That was her exact words to my mom I busted a gut LOL Cause well see...
I thought I pulled a fast one on them (both my girls ages 4 & 10) I stayed up all night a few weeks back & took out 5 bags of toys & organized their rooms, I hid the toys in trash bags in our computer / work room that is off limits to the girls & put the stuff on freecycle, She seen people take black trash bags away.
about 3 weeks later upon noticing her toys was a few less than before she put two & two together. LOL
My 1st Daughter was non the wiser until my 2nd Daughter filled her in on it so now I have to kids a little ticked at me & not wanting me to clean.
(They have to many toys & to many clothes they have out grown) I have tried that we need to get rid of the old to make room for the new but neither was have'n it! LOL
I'm learning fast it is hard to try and pull the wool over my youngest eyes.
"kids! i don't know what's wrong with these kids today!"
one of my favorite songs from "bye bye birdie"
i would have noticed... hee hee...

LOL I'm getting ready to do another sweep through the house & I just upfront told them.
My youngest is not happy about it. The toys she does play with is her train set, her blocks, puzzles her doll house & her little people camping set. Oh & she loves her stuffed animals they both do. that is about it, My 10 yr old well she don't play with much of anything she is either doing art work, computer stuff or is outside.
So I figure it is time to cut the clutter once again cause the 1st time wasn't enough not even close. & they have major problems being able to pick up & put away things. They can pick up but they don't put it back from the place they got it.
My youngest has a really hard time you have to help her & remind her of each and every toy that needs to be picked up Verbal cues are next to impossible for her So I'm trying to keep as little as possible what they really love & things are going in clear totes with pictures of what goes in it then well place those on shelves
Wish me luck in my war for less clutter LOL

i have a friend whose son is like your youngest. every night he picks up some stuff. she reminds him of the rest. he picks up more. but... he always leaves his little scissors out on the table....
