The Kids Got Brains!..

Decided to have a tidy out of old toys today so explained to E that there are lots of children out there who don't have as many toys as her and some don't have any at all - so her compassionate side came out and although I was only gonna tidy out downstairs we ended up doing the whole house however... It came to sorting out the jigsaws and the real easy peg jigsaws I asked her to do them for me after tipping them all out - of course she did them no hesitation and stood there all proud "Ok" I said "They can go out" to which she replied "Aw but i can do them real good". I then went on to explain that jigsaws you can do that good are too easy for you and that they should at least challenge her a little big. I then left the room to go and sort out some lunch. 10 mins later she came into the kitchen looking all sad with her head hanging down and pet lip out and said "mummy i think we have a problem you had better come and see" - so I took her hand as indicated and she dragged her feet nito the living room (such an actress) so anyway I go into the living room and there in a neat row are all of her easy peg jigsaws - every single jigsaw piece in every single puzzle was over the wrong hole - and E saying "we can't possibly get rid of them now!". I obviously had nothing to say to that so they are back under the side awaiting a time which is appropriate to sneak them out..... smart bloody kid!
