Well, I spent seven hours yesterday helping Tallis clean his room. SEVEN HOURS! At least it's done. That kid just loves junk. Finally I told him, "If you treat your stuff like garbage, I will come in and throw it all away. Garbage belongs in the dump." I am so sick of getting him nice stuff and then for him to lose it, break it, stain it, or otherwise destroy it. The other day I couldn't find his shoes ANYWHERE. Finally we went to the store and bought another pair! During our room-cleaning session I found several wadded up single socks . . . I was almost ready to throw away all of our mateless socks from the sock basket. It is a good thing I hadn't gotten there yet.
On a more positive note, he is getting really good at the piano and is doing very well in school. So maybe I am overreacting. But still . . . seven hours!?!

Oh I am sorry for you. I remember mom cleaning my room with me and making me "keep one, throw one"... Good luck.
I know what you mean, I get so sick of cleaning up Noah's tv room. He just throws stuff everywhere! I got rid of a whole bunch of junk yesterday, just couldn't stand it any longer!
