A place for everything

There are some special toys that are packed away when not played with. This is increasing since the play is more sophisticated and there are little pieces that I want to keep a handle on.  Jude and Petra got a horse stable Lego set for Christmas that we get out most days and play with on the kitchen table. I always have them help me pack it away when done to keep it "new and special," and also keep up with the little pieces.  Well, today on their THIRD birthday, Jude got a Lego fire station kit.  Of course he played with it all day and I just let it stay on the coffee table since I had so much party prep to do. We tucked him in kind of late, and an hour later he told Chris, "I can't sleep- need to put the fire truck away."  So Jude came down and helped pack it away, and "put it in the kitchen."
