Paris is soooo good, she picks up after herself, tidies her room, helps around the house. Seth on the other hand has spent the last 20 minutes tidying up all his toys and putting them in his basket... and he isn't even half way through. Every toy he picks up he inspects, comments, plays, inspects again, comments again and maybe another play then FINALLY after me nagging at him he then THROWS it in the basket. Now I can see at least another 30 toys ranging in size (small to medium sized nick nacks) strewn across my lounge room floor. I refuse to do it for him as I know this starts a bad habit so I am being as patient as possible armed to praise at every opportunity and trying to stay sane in the meantime. Please tell me they get better or I daresay by the time he's 5 I'll be doing military style inspections on his room so that he will know what TIDY is! And yes I will have no quarms in telling my son at 5 to clean up his own wee splatters in the loo, if he can't aim right he can clean it. Yes I'm hard@rsed. But I would rather his future partner not suffer as a result... In the meantime... Can you pick up the toys please? GOOD BOY! Nearly finished. Yes I know thats a dinosaur, no mummy doesn't want it up her nose. Quick, pop it in the basket. Nearly finished now come on just those last few pieces, yes thats a ball, no we don't throw at sissy. Yes thats right you are nearly finished. What a good boy. Yes thats a screw driver for Mcqueen, pop it in the basket. Oh wow you are doing a great job, I am so proud of you, what a clever boy. Nearly finished thats right, 3 more to go, 1 more now WOOHOO!!!! WTG! *bring out the streamers and balloons*
