getting these kids to clean up is exhausting. they certainly know where to find everything they want to play with but then suddenly forget where it goes when it's time to clean up. usually, caroline gets whiny and Q gets distracted. for some reason (threats probably) Q decided he was going to listen today and put his stuff away. he was getting so frustrated that his sister was not cleaning up her toys as well. he brought me a princess doll as evidence. i decided to try a new approach and told him, "maybe you need to show her where it belongs because you're bigger than her." one who always responds to an ego-stroke, he did and suddenly she wanted to put all her stuff away with his direction. he bossed her around; she cleaned up her stuff. then together, without any suggestion from me, they decided they should go clean up their rooms too.
and. they. did.
they did Q's first and then pickle's. amazing.
