holding it up and dumped them in the trash, too. Luckily, Emily didn't notice. I had to dig them all out. This was made worse by the fact that an hour earlier I had emptied the full vacuum canister in the same wastebasket. :op I would have considered just leaving the items in the trash, but since they were part of an alphabet set they definitely would have been missed in the future. Sigh.

Trash patrol
Our household is now on high alert trash patrol. Although he has kind of tinkered with it in the past, today was the first time I caught Lincoln deliberately lifting the lid and throwing something away in the tall kitchen wastebasket. It was two foam letters designed to stick to the bathtub/tile. A short while later Emily yelled at him about something, so he proceeded to grab one of her coloring pages off the fridge along with the LeapFrog letter magnet holding it up and dumped them in the trash, too. Luckily, Emily didn't notice. I had to dig them all out. This was made worse by the fact that an hour earlier I had emptied the full vacuum canister in the same wastebasket. :op I would have considered just leaving the items in the trash, but since they were part of an alphabet set they definitely would have been missed in the future. Sigh.

We too are on constant trash patrol....every time we ask Seth to put something somewhere, especially in the bathroom or the kitchen, it ends up in the trash!
Life is never dull with kids around!
