Toys Get Timeout

Dear Evie,

Mama put all your toys in the garage. Well, except Snowbear (I know how much you love that toy). Dada and me had been telling you since Saturday to clean up your room. Monday came, and your playroom was still a big mess.  I do not know how many times we reminded you to tidy up. You cleaned a little bit, put the books and stuffed toys back on the shelf. And that's it. I was tired of reminding you, Dada was tired too. So Dada had to set the timer on and gave you a certain amount of time to finish up everything otherwise, all toys end in the garage. Sadly, they did. I didn't want to do it. But sometimes, parents do the things they have to do. Your playroom look so sad now. There's still books that you can read, easel and table where you can draw. You will only get your toys back when you do the things you need to do. And of course, listen to Mama and Dada and do what we tell you to do. We don't tell you things that will hurt you or bad for you. We love you very much. But for now, toys are getting time out.

I love you with all of me,
Mama
