time to pick up

Brodie's bedroom floor was covered in toys. I told him it was time to pick up and that I would help him. Brodie said, "You should pick it up yourself." I laughed and told him I would help him, but he was going to pick up too. I got down on the floor and started. He just watched me so I added a whiney, "Don't you love me?" Brodie came over, gave me a hug, and patted my back gently. He told me in his most soothing, loving, and comforting voice, "It's okay mommy. You can pick it up yourself."
