Messy Tessie

My sugar bug, Tess, started preschool today.

She was so little last year, and this year she walked into school like an old pro.

I pick my battles with this one.  Picking out Tess’ clothes is not a battle I need to win.

She is her own stylist, and loves it.  Tess told me exactly what hair bows she wanted and how she wanted them.  Tess looks just like her poodle stuffed animal.  I couldn’t find it for this post, but I will add a pic when I do find it.

Maybe the reason I couldn’t find the poodle was because of the messy playroom.  When the kids get home from school I am going to try a new cleaning method.  I have gathered all the toys into piles.  I am thinking of letting each kid pick a pile and be in charge of putting all of those toys away.

I get sick of hearing:

 “I didn’t make that mess!”  “Those aren’t my toys!”  “I don’t care if it’s messy.”

How do you get your kids to clean up?
