He was happy to help. He usually dumps out his toys or clothes multiple times a day and it is so frustrating. We do put toys away, especially "messy" ones like Duplos, so we don't have to pick them all up all day. He definitely one to look at me and spread the toys out more. I like your solution of calmly addressing him in a way that is a true consequence. Being 35 weeks pregnant, I have less patience and I raise my voice a little more than I would like.Tricia https://www.blogger.com/profile/13252790426849030007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002354997398671912.post-90663575797719106392015-02-26T03:35:54.409-05:002015-02-26T03:35:54.409-05:00Great job!
