Recently I have taken down a few of the gates/barriers that have kept Dylan out of the Kitchen and Dining Room, so Dylan has a lot of new found places to play. Good for Dylan… He now has more room to play, good for James and Thade they no longer have to maneuver around the barriers, bad for Nico though… Every room is a mess, and I am cleaning endlessly.

So the de-cluttering begins again, as does my desperate search for storage options to keep the house manageable. I’m off to go clean (again), Dylan has taken out all of the coloring books in the dining room.
