Suddenly I've realized just how many toys my daughter possesses.
And the number is staggering.
Seriously.
So I've decided to go on a toy strike. No more toys for Roo until Christmas! And I mean it. I take an oath not to cave when she bats her pretty eyes at me and asks for a tractor. Or when she demands in her cute little voice that she get two Hot Wheelz, I will not budge.
I will look at her adorableness and remind myself that she has tons of toys at home and bringing just one more tiny toy into the madness will drive me (and my husband) insane.
I think the best route for me to take is to go over all of her toys, inventory what we must keep, what we'll keep for the baby and toss what hasn't been touched in months.
When I say toss, I mean donate.
I can just do what the magazines say, put some away and rotate the stock when it gets boring.
Of course, the only problem with that is finding a decent stash area where she won't stumble upon them and demand I add them to the daily mix.
I can do it though, I am the adult in this relationship and adults aren't ruled by what a toddler demands... right?
Ha ha ha, how silly am I?

Max is only 7 months old and has loads of toys and he's already bored of them!! I think I will hide and rotate some too... Luckily he hasn't worked how to open the spare room door yet :)
Good luck .. be stronge :)
The family I nanny for purges all their toys in the fall before they are inundated with new toys at the holidays.
