Lynn O’Rourke: Baby toy clear-out
It’s tricky, because I need a bit of daylight to see what I’m doing, but daylight generally means kids are around to pounce on old toys. I get most of the stuff out during extended viewing of Tiny Pop before youngest appears, “What are you doing with that Mummy?”
“Er...”
“Is it a present for me?”
“Emm...”
“Yay, a present! I LOVE that car game!”
I suggest that if she wants it she has to get rid of something else. Hands on hips she surveys her room, “Well....” she ponders, before hesitantly pointing to a packed shelf, “I don’t think I need those sunglasses just now...”
Not quite what I had in mind.
