It was time to clean their room…again. But it was also bath and bedtime. The room hadn’t been picked up all weekend and you literally could not get to their dressers to get clothes! So I decided before bath and bed, they each needed to do a little. So Shannon said, you need to pick up 9 things before bed. Mac tried to negotiate it down to three, but no-go with Daddy. So he headed in to pick up his 9 things. When I came in for bath time, he proudly told me he made his bed. Inside, I cringed, thinking, Here goes the fight. He didn’t pick up his 9 things. “See? 9 blankets, all made on my bed.”
Well, I guess no need to be disappointed. He did listen, technically. And not to be outdone by his brother, Patrick made his bed also.
Then when it was finally time to crawl into the bed, neither wanted to mess it up and get under the covers. So, Mac asked for another blanket so he didn’t have to disturb the others. Um, no. You already cannot find your bed with all the blankets and stuffed animals. No.
