tidying and sorting

I spent the morning sorting through KT artworks from this year.

I have kept one example of each type of artwork (sometimes 2 or 3 ... as I could not help myself), but the rest have gone into and filled up the recycling bin.

I am yet to decide how best to store the pictures I am keeping ... and there is still 1/4 of the year left to go so I imagine there will still be a few more to come.

I noticed that the prep classroom has things very well organized eg labelled boxes which say what kind of item is contained within them (for things like sequins, paper chain pieces etc) and they have their bigger blocks and things in larger clear or see through boxes.

It got me thinking that perhaps we can do the same thing here eg ... all the leggo of a certain size could go into a large clear box, all the little people farm toys could go in another etc.

At the moment I just stick things into boxes with other things that are the same size, but it makes it very difficult to find things as there is no particular or order to putting things away.

I think I can store some of these boxes under kt's bed or in her new wardrobe too, so that we have more space in the loungeroom.

I was supposed to write about our holiday today but I might leave that until tomorrow.

Kt came back from her 3rd and final visit to the school dentist. The good news is that her teeth are good and they didn't have to do anything! I am very very relieved!!!

Another little boy in her class came out this afternoon and told his carer in an excited voice "i have really bad teeth" hmmmmmm as excited as he sounded I didn't want to hear the same news from KT and since she looked a bit tearful this afternoon when I picked her up I was a bit worried.

Tomorrow Kt starts swimming at school so I am off to label all her swimming stuff and do another lice combing this afternoon.....
