Konmari Part 2

Today we konmari the boys' toys. When we piled all the toys in the house on the floor, my eldest exclaimed 'Wow, that's a lot!' 'Yes and you keep saying want to more buy toys.'

So then the process began from him as he has the most toys as compared to his younger brother. He had to decide what he wants to keep, what he plays regularly, what are still working but he's no longer playing with them. To those broken ones or those he no longer wish to keep, he bidded goodbye and thanked them for the companionship.

Each of the boys receives a deep drawer to keep their personal toys. Then there's a wooden trolley to keep their shared toys. I tried to minimise his number of toy cars but not quite successful. But still we managed to clear all the toys around the house and organised them into the designated 'homes'.

'This is really tiring,' he said. I hope he would remember the feeling so he would learn to organise and keep his toys better. Also, I think we won't be buying toys for a long time.

As for the youngest one, he had no idea what's going on but now he knows his toys have a 'house'. This will be useful when we need to discipline him to keep his own toys after play.
