Destruction

Every night after James goes to bed, John or I put all of his toys away and clean up the living room (which is now his play room that he allows us to sit it). And every night before he goes to bed, James calmly and methodically takes apart his toy chest.

He wont pick the toy that he wants to play with until all of his toys (or at least his favorite ones) are laid out in front of him.

Only then, will he pick what he wants. 

And then after, we get to pick everything up again. It will be a good day when he understand the concept of putting away his toys.
