When cleaning up becomes an adventure


I've helped Will clean up his toys a lot, and lately I've made this observation: Cleaning up his toys has become a whole new way of playing with them. Clean-up sometimes takes twice as long because he will be pretending and imagining the whole time. In this picture he is cleaning up his cars and track/road. Every time he would put a piece of track inside the box, he would pretend that the pieces were jumping off a cliff or something. I would hear things like "Just do it!" or "It's ok, don't be scared." It's times like this that I have to wonder what goes on that little head of his.

Good mother to notice and allow this imagination happening because he has so much good stuff in his head. The actual cleaning up is important, but what a neat way to do it.
