Sometimes all you need is a good room-rearrange to get your kids involved in cleaning and sorting.
On Saturday evening, I suggested to my 7-year old that we maybe rearrange his bedroom furniture in order to get ready for the bunkbeds we are waiting to pick up (someday). He thought that was a great idea and proceeded to tell me where he thought all of the furniture should go. Of course, we had to get out the tape measure to investigate whether or not his suggestions would actually work. This led into a simple math lesson (score good mom points here).
He was very helpful with the picking up and reorganization of stuff. And both boys (4-year old also) were very excited to put the room back together in its new state. There is so much storage under the bed since we moved the small trundle up against the wall. And the younger boy is enjoying the placement of his bed in its own corner, kind of his sanctuary.
We have one bin remaining to sort out. Here's to hoping after that, they can keep the room in spotless condition. Yeah, right...
