Just having kids put away all of their toys may make for a clean house,but it isn't necessarily a sign of good parenting. LOL

The proof isn't until children are adults...so you have a while to see if all your hard work paid off. :-)

That is very true.........and I do have a good many years to find out!!!!!

I'm a heck of a lot more concerned about her love of learning and doing well in school and being respectful than I am in her putting away her toys.

If I have to spend an extra 20 minutes in the morning picking up some of her stuff because she chose to explain to me the difference between 1/3 and 1/4 of a cup of milk to make muffins for dinner, so be it!
