I don't know how it happens (actually, generous grandparents might be the answer there).<br />I have to sneak old toys out of the house at opportune moments.

And then we had to move house and store stuff for a huge period of time. I ditched a whole bunch of toys and then a whole lot more when we were finally able to settle down again. You know what? My kids just used to tip out their toys and leave them on the floor without playing with them. Getting rid of most of their toys meant they started to play more imaginatively. They need less then we think they need - and more of us.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-43577039990577232892016-06-15T11:01:57.816+10:002016-06-15T11:01:57.816+10:00I'm inspired Cate - I'm going to get stuck...I'm inspired Cate - I'm going to get stuck into Delilah's room this weekend. She has way too many toys and I bet a lot of them will be broken and too young for her now too.
