Learning the hard way

Today Pip had a complete meltdown leaving Mom's Group. The boys had a blast throwing approximately 5,000 various toys, blocks, cars, and trains all over Liz's living room. (Dumping is a common theme for Pip, no doubt he had a part in instigating this).

As our time was coming to a close, the moms "suggested" that they clean up the toys. Not too much excitement about our suggestion. So we sweetened the pot and offered a video if they would clean up. Still no takers. As all the moms cleaned we warned the boys that failure to help would result in no video. Not impressed.

When there were two toys left on the ground Pip sauntered over and said he wanted to watch a video. I told him he lost his chance because he didn't clean up. Quick as a flash he grabs the only two toys left and picks them up. "Too little too late", I responded. It was pretty ugly after that. Here's Pip's recap to Daddy over dinner (and some other cute videos):
