About an hour later, Ian wanted his Blue Dog. He wanted me to help him find it. I told him that it was put away in my Mommy Box because he didn't want to help clean up earlier.
The tears.
He immediately told me he was ready to help clean up now. We had a Talk. I got the Box out from the garage and Ian put away every single toy that was in there back on the shelf in the playroom.
Smiles all around.

Much better to win that than Candyland, too.
Just wait till he is 7 and then tells you,"Fine,Santa will just bring me new toys!"..ahhh!!!
Woo-hoo! Score one for mom!
And I'm going to try that Mommy Box trick on Eli very soon. Now that I know it's successful!
