I’m convinced that Ironman athletes have nothing on the endurance required of parents who are trying to get their kids to put their toys away.
One and a half hours, it took us this afternoon. Multiple redirections. Erin tattling on Megan who said something Alex didn’t like. Realizing they had dumped out two puzzles together: nearly identical Frozen-themed puzzles, one with Anna only and one with Anna and Elsa and neither with a picture to reference. It took me 20 minutes just to figure out which pieces went together.
At one point, Alex walked by and announced, “I think we need to sell some of our toys.” Sounds great…until we actually try to pare them down. Then…we NEED them ALL!!!!
Oh, the toy conundrum. And the holidays fast approaching. *sigh* At least I got the floor vacuumed before they dump everything out tomorrow!
