"One of those Moms"

I swore I would never be "one of those Moms" who clean their kids' room. Well I admit, I am. But I am trying to change that. Keyton has a bunch of little toys and so I bought this bin storage thing and it has 8 little bins and 4 bigger ones that I like to divide the toys in, like cars in one, balls in another, you get my drift. Well I decided today that I have absolutely had it with Keyton dumping EVERYTHING out of them in one great big pile twice a day for the last week. I have been trying to think of how to get him to clean it, well poor kid was in his room for two hours before lunchtime because I wouldnt let him come out until he picked all the toys up. Well after Kaycen fell asleep I was feeling a little bad, so I went and helped him, but I was proud of myself because I didnt just do it myself I made sure Keyton picked up at least half. Then we went and had some lunch and things have been a little more peaceful... well so far, lots more hours in the day. So hopefully I am onto something.

I also have been trying to do a little bit of pre-school activities with him. I am trying to do this at least 3 times a week where its just Keyton and I spending time together. If anyone has any good ideas or websites that have different ideas they want to share, I would love to take a look.
