"Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone, Yes Our Toys Are Gone!"...well they aren't literally gone, but they are no longer upstairs. I haven't seen that corner toy free since we had Michaela. While the munchkins were napping I moved all of the toys downstairs and organized them...well mostly organized them. Like I said organization is a process and doesn't always happen immediately overnight.
Dave and I purchased some cute cubicles and bins a while back when they were on sale at Target. I sorted the toys into the tote drawers we bought to put in the cubicles. I still need to label the drawers, but they contain the following: Baby Friendly Toys, Michaela's Princess Dolls, Mega Blocks (those took up 2 drawers), Balls, Baby Doll Accessories, Kitchen Dishes and Food, Dress Up Stuff, Purses and Backpacks, Musical Instruments and Miscellaneous Toys (2 drawers). In the bottom bins are all her stuffed animals and baby dolls.
I definitely need to sort down/get rid of some of the toys but for now they are nicely contained.
Michaela even found some "lost toys"...one's she hadn't seen in a while. She liked that they were organized and she could see some of these "lost toys". So now the prayer is that we can keep them that way.
Michaela also has something I like to call "Big Ticket" toys. These are her bigger items. For now they are in the spare room downstairs, where her dollhouse is. The room will eventually be Michaela's room. For right now it is another play area for her and her friends.
