[blparent] Pieces, pieces, everywhere!

[Barbara Hammel]

It's probably just the way it'll be unless you limit the toys she can play 
with until she's old enough to put them away herself.  I do the day-care 
thing and put all like toys in plastic containers.  Maybe if there are toys 
that you really care about keeping all the pieces, like the Little People 
stuff, you could hold them back for when she has your undivided attention so 
you know where they all go.  And I'll postface--is that even a word?--this 
message with the fact that I'm obsessive compulsive about having to have all 
the parts.  (I've gotten a bit better because I've had to but the pieces 
always show up.)  I only have cats that chase them around, though.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to 
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
