The Last Thing

This morning I gave Peter the task of emptying a large diaper box that the boys had filled with toys. He and the box were in the closet while Cooper and I were winding up the vacuum cord. I was surprised when he announced that he had finished quickly after starting the project.

Peter: (exiting the closet, holding a rogue bathtub toy that had ended up in the box) Whew, the very last thing is to put the boat away. (He puts the boat in the bathroom and returns.) The very, VERY last thing is to do everything else.

Pesky everything else...

Interesting strategy: start at the end and then go from there.
