house Cleaning part 2

I have decided that if I want Jacob to clean up after himself, then I have to be persistent and patient. Today before nap time, I started to clean up toys and told Jacob that if we like toys and want to keep them then we need to take care of them and clean up. I started to sing and make it look really fun. To my surprise Jacob started to put toys in his bin. I gave him so much praise that he thought it was the coolest thing. Tonight, before bedtime I did the same thing and I think that maybe after a week or so, he will catch on , hopefully. Motherhood is teaching me how to be persistent and try and try again. Oh speaking about being patient, we are going to try once again to ween Jacob off the Binky this weekend. So to all of my neighbors, I hope you will be able to get some sleep, if not I have some earplugs I can give you.
