[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 341165, member: 8869"] I'm liking the gym idea and I could easily difficult child-proof my back porch for it which has a big sliding glass door in both my room and the living room so Id always see her. We actually made amazing progress today. easy child hasn't been allowed in difficult child's room because difficult child has tiny toys that are choke hazards and while easy child was napping difficult child actually helped me go through all her toys, clean the ones we were keeping out (woo hoo Method all purpose cleaner), and pack away the others. I won't go into her idea of packing, let's just say we need to open the closet door s-l-o-w-l-y. But she did it, she really helped with little redirection. easy child was thrilled to get to join her big sister for TV time today and difficult child really liked the fact that she could begin bringing toys to the living room again since they are all easy child safe. Tomorrow I've decided to drag the contents of my bedroom (think national disaster quality mess) into the living room so that difficult child can hopefully help again and if not, hey the living room gets more attention anyways. It's the time of year here where those plastic pools are already hitting the stores (don't shoot me those of you with tons of snow, I'll die this summer), and the shaving cream thing might work on the back porch. Aw heck, I'll try it all. I was starting to wonder about those velcro suits and velcro walls... [/QUOTE]
