Weekly battle

Oh look, how cute, we asked Lukan to put away the toys, and instead he put himself in the toy basket.

Too bad it ended with the toys purposely, stubbornly spread across the room and a little boy in bed with no dinner, book or goodnight song.

A little boy who, when I zipped him into his sleeping sack - a sleeping sack which since last night has been a snail shell - gave me a cheeky smile and said I a little snail dat didn't put away de toys.

A little boy who knows Wednesday is tidy up day because Thursday is cleaning lady day, and so if he doesn't put away the toys, someone else will.

A little boy who doesn't care about consequences.

And a little boy who, at his daycare, puts toys away with no fuss, without even being asked, like tidying up is the most natural thing in the world.
