Have you guys seen 50 First Dates? It stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, who both live in Hawaii. Sandler meets Barrymore in a restaurant and really likes her, but doesn’t know that she has a head injury that makes her think that every day is the same day. To help facilitate her malady and keep her from freaking out, her dad and brother reset the day every single day after she goes to bed, putting out a fake newspaper, refilling the shampoo and covering over her painting so she thinks she’s starting from scratch again.

I feel like that every night after Lucy goes to bad. No, I’m not trying to trick her, but she has a few baskets of toys as well as a small stack of books kept out in the living along with larger toys and games that she rips through like a tornado. At some point every evening after she goes to bed I walk around the room and put all the shapes back in their sorters, the collections of toys in their containers and just about everything else into that pink basket you see in the above picture. The other day I remembered that scene from 50 First Dates and I figured I’d make the connection in a post so fellow parents could get a chuckle out of it. Hope it worked.
