I am now a mother to three little ones...ages 2, 17 mo, and 2 mo. My house is never, and will never, be clean again. At least not for more than a few seconds per room.
I am the one person force behind picking up after little people who don't reaize that the toys they drop and the crumbs they leave behind might be a problem to someone else. This is my chaos!
I love the moments of discovery, I LOVE watching my babies eat something that I made for them. And then comes the part that ends up making everything in the house "feel" better...picking it up.
I can go from feeling a little overwhealmed to being very pleased, by just putting all the toys where they go. How a toddler can play with so many things in one sitting is very baffling to me, but I end up with the two buckets completely empty at least twice a day and their contents scattered across the floor...Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumbs have nothing on the trail of toddler who has been having fun. You KNOW where they have been! Sometimes they have been places you didn't even know about...
Picking up...how mommies put their world back in balance...
