It looks like Toys R Us in my child's bedroom. I try really hard to keep it contained to her bedroom, but it inevitably overflows into every room in the house. It's a constant effort to keep things picked up. She just has too much stuff and for some strange reason we all keep buying more! So, the new rule is that if she gets a new toy, we take one that she doesn't play with anymore and put it away for our next charitable donation. I tried to explain to her about how some kids don't have any toys because they are poor. On the surface, it appears as if she has some compassion for these children, but not enough to part with any toys that are still functioning.

"Oh, mommy, I forgot about this toy, it's my favorite" Then why haven't you played with it in over a year?

"This one toy is broken. Let's give it to the poor kids!" No, baby, I think they want toys that aren't broken.

I guess I'll keep trying.

Also, my husband thinks it's great fun to teach Court about slang.
Yesterday, I asked her why she was wearing her sunglasses in the house and she said:

"Mommy, this is how I roll!"

Great! That quality time with daddy was really well spent.
