the apple doesn't fall......

This is what I walked in on this evening.  I had been rearranging Ethan's closet a bit and Elliott thought it was so cool how you could make part of it into a fort now (you understand if you have boys - anything can be made into a fort) and announced that he was going to move his closet around so he could do the same thing.

So he pulled everything out of his closet and moved the bookshelf.  It had been a while, so I told him we probably needed to start cleaning up so that he could get ready for bed.

"Mom, can I just organize this stuff first?"

Aaaaahhhhhhhh.......music to my ears!  OF COURSE you can organize it!   I guess he's picked up on the organizing frenzy going on here.  I have to say he did a really great job, and the best part is that he did it all on his own so it makes sense to him where things are.  He'll remember where they are and hopefully be proud of what he was able to do and keep it organized. 

He wants to organize the rest of his room tomorrow.  Yeah.......maybe just one little spot at a time.
