This morning, as Nate was searching for a missing "wormie fuzzy animal," he tore apart his room, leaving it a complete mess. When I walked in, it was overwhelming.
I talked with him about how he needs to be better about keeping his room organized, and was surprised when he was eager to "reorganize his room." What more, he wanted to donate some of his old stuff. I was happy to oblige.

Then, after lunch, I asked Nile if he could do the same to his room. To my surprise, when I suggested he and Nate do it together, they jumped at the chance and had his room clean in less than 10 minutes!

Maybe more impressive was the fact that they then went to the basement and cleaned it up as well.

At the end of it all, we had a large moving box full of toys to donate to Goodwill. To recognize all the hard work they'd done, they each earned two "mom points" and I took them out to dinner after we dropped off the box at the Goodwill Store.
I'm pretty proud of these two tonight. :)
