Friday is "clean your room day". The boys know it all week long, on Friday you will need to clean your room. No problem for Luke - it takes just a bit of tidying up and putting laundry away.
Colby is a different story completely. His room is a mine field of clothes and toys. Everywhere. It stresses Corey to the hilt.
Last Friday Colby managed to get DeeDee out to the house to help him. This Friday DeeDee was working and Colby on his own. I told him after he got started and half way done - then I would come up and help finish up the last of putting the laundry away. THAT WAS 9 HOURS AGO! The deal is that he has to stay in his room until the room is clean. He spent 9 hours in his room. He took a nap, he listened to music, he played with his toys, etc. I did let him come out for lunch and dinner. I kept checking on him to see if he needed my help yet, but he just said "Nah, I don't feel like cleaning. I am fine."
I am not complaining, it has been very nice and quiet around here today. Colby in his room all day and Luke out with friends or downstairs on the Wii.
I swear the ONLY reason Colby actually "felt" like cleaning up his room was that Corey, Luke, Lola and I are going over to the park to play some soccer (I will be watching of course) after dinner. The only way Colby could go with us was to have his room clean.
He was done in 15 minutes.
Stubborn little child.

9 hours in his room? That's kind of amazing. But the stubborn part. . . I bet I know where he learned that.
Wow! That is amazing. I am impressed though. What kid could entertain himself for that long! Can't wait to see what happens next week.
That is so funny! Paige would do the same thing as Colby.
