Some people like things neat.
Mike is arguably of the former, and clearly the latter. ("Just like his dad" says mum.)
Mike's new found philosophy is to avoid immediate clutter at all costs. This mostly consists of throwing stuff from where it is to where it aint - preferably out of view and, if seated above ground level, onto a floor.
Its the "sweep it under the carpet" philosophy of house cleaning.
As opposed to actual cleaning.
Though granted he does appear to have a touch of the spick and span.
Case in point... Dads having a shower with boy flipping about the floor in amongst the dirty washing. ("Gotta have a hobby boy" says dad...)
Boy looks at dad.
Boy looks at water.
Boy looks at dirty washing.
Boy picks up washing and piece by piece, tosses it into shower with dad.
Fair enough.
Or in mums case, and arguably far more entertaining, while she was kicking back in a nice, relaxing, well earned end of day bath, boy crawls in, peeks over the top, looks at the water, gives mum a winning smile,...
and tosses in her slippers.
In between the clearfelling, the boy has swung back into a good "sleep all night" mode. Or at least 3-4 nights out of 5. Unfortunately dad hasnt. His body seems stuck in the 6-hours sleep routine, boy awake or no. Its driving him nuts. Especially now that he's back at work 5 full time and doesnt have a mid week catch up.
Life with a 10 month old; less sleep, more washing, infinite chaos.
