I will be back soon with food info, but today I'm home with a sick toddler who's picked up pink eye a third time. ugh. Since I am in toddler world today, a little anecdote from two and a half-year-old Anatole.
Keeping in mind that today is Monday:
Me: Anatole, please clean up your toys now.
Anatole: Not now, later.
Me: When? After your nap?
Anatole: No, Saturday.
We had quite a discussion about why it's not okay to leave our toys strewn all over the house for five days.

ReplyDeleteHi Mom, yes, I got it! Your first "recorded" comment. Hugs to you and Buppa. Love, sis
ReplyDeleteKids are so funny sometimes:-) You should try to find a black plastic bag and tell Anatole that if he doesn´t clean up his toys, you´re going to put it in the bag and then he can only get it back on Saturday. If he forgets about the toy put it away ´cause he´s probably tired of it anyways. Good way to find out which toys they don´t really care that much about.They ones he does ask about he can get on the Saturday. Works very well with my kids.
ReplyDeleteKira, that's genius! Thanks for the idea. :-)
