Tidy-up time

Jessica is very good when it comes to putting her toys and books away before bedtime – it’s something that’s been part of her routine for quite a long time. It means though that when we go to groups and the leader says ‘five minutes to tidy-up time’, Jessica’s automatic reaction is to go and get the box for the toys instantly. She also loves to help me dust – and this morning I watched her pull the fabric leaves off a toy lettuce and start cleaning her bricks and toys with it! I like this tidiness trait – hopefully it will last!
