New Rule

I enacted a new rule today:

Toys left on the kitchen floor shall be subject to immediate (no requests to pick toys up or else) toy time out. With exception to large, half completed, floor puzzles since the kitchen is the only hard surface on which this type of puzzle can be completed (and we have many of them).

So far the new rule has had the following results:

While Adaya was playing with her favorite baby doll in the kitchen, I reminded her that if she leaves her baby doll lying on the kitchen floor, it would have to go in time out. Adaya preceded to pick up her doll and place her on the stairs, on the first step down, the time out step.

Josiah, upon finding out about the rule, got some of Adaya's toys, placed them on the kitchen floor, and left them there. He wanted to find out if the rule was really true or if Mommy was just joking. He obviously wasn't going to take the chance, that I might be serious, with his own toys.
