Amnesty

In a spirit of goodwill, we had a day of amnesty for toys that had been confiscated.

A while ago, in a creative parenting effort, we decided to make an impression on Natalie by taking away her toys that she loves the most--her ponies. One by one, they slowly disappeared to the "toy time-out spot."

I figured I had suffered enough with looking at all these toys not in their rightful place so it was time to return them. We've curbed the behavior that sparked their removal, so overall I think it was effective. And got to be "fun mom" when I gave them all back!
