earned it again

I earned my title again this evening. Which is not surprising.

Ladybug and I headed up to her room to go through her clothes. She is growing out of clothes at a rapid rate. I walked into her room and discovered a ... disaster. So I asked her to clean it. I started to help. But I discovered that every storage unit, bin, bucket, and cranny in her room was stuffed full of crap. With no organization.

So I took every storage unit, bin, bucket, and cranny and dumped it in the middle of the room. We cleaned and sorted and organized. When it was about half way done she announced she was done and I could finish it.

What?

But I didn't lose it.

I just fine. "Please go brush your teeth, go potty (when will I stop using that word), and get in your pjs.

And she did. Well that didn't work. So when she had a mouth full of toothpaste I called out to her. "Honey, anything I clean up now is getting thrown away."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

And back she came to help me clean and sort and organize.

  2. And do you still love her? Sometimes I worry that Ladybug will hate me by the time she leaves my house.
