[blparent] Pieces, pieces, everywhere!

[Leanne Merren]

Hi Jo Elizabeth,
Keeping track of pieces and keeping things picked up is very tricky.  I've 
found that the plastic storage drawers work pretty well though.  I have 
labeled them, so I know which are which and so as the children get older, 
they know which drawers to put things in as well.  That's what I've found to 
work at my house.
