It's Happening

Well, it has happened to us. I swore I wouldnt let it. I had strategies to deal with it, but it has happened despite my 'plans'. Carter's toys have taken over our house!!! Sure, the toys look all cute and neat when his room is cleaned and everything is put in its place but that lasts about 10 minutes. He can get to every drawer and every box and does as soon as he sees I have put it all up! He is at the stage where he wants to show us EVERYTHING. So, he drags whatever interests him at the time into the living room to show us. Then of course, it has to be picked up, usually by us (with his "help")! His closet is full of toys. I just dedicated a box to all his baby toys that are in the storage room but that barely made a dent. My plan for cycling out toys hasnt been very successful either because I feel like it is 'unfair' to the toy that isnt in circulation. Ok, that sounded stupid. He really does play with all of his toys still so I cant decide what to eliminate. Any help? If only I had a giant playroom like MOM where all toys get equal treatment--no fair.

Here are a few pics in Daddy's hat. The only hat he will leave on for more than 30 seconds. And the last one...well, he is standing on his toy. Look at all the teeth in that 3rd pic! He was surfing on it with his hands off the handle but I missed it.
