So Elazar was pretty happy with the no clean up policy. And they've been crafting like fiends very happily.
But then.
Shabbos came. And I didn't want football upstairs. (Even though there is Yes Ball Playing in the House.)
But there was no place to play downstairs. Because the floor is FULL of...garbage? Craft ingredients? Whatever it is, it's not clear for ball.
A friend of mine suggested I partition the basement so they can both have their needs met. Great idea!
So today, I asked Aharon what kind of space he needs for tossing the football. And then I told Elazar I'd be moving all his craft stuff to one area and he has to confine his crafts to that area. He does not have to clean up his craft area. But Aharon's football space must remain clear. We duct taped Aharon's space (from one end of the room to the other, lengthwise).
Hopefully this will work. And if not, I'm getting used to adjusting to different needs in different phases. We'll keep trying.
(The duct tape in the middle and the right is my path. I'm graciously allowing my path to be included in the football area. All crafts shall (hopefully) stay
to the left of the line.)
