I like to read your way of guiding your children, little Jacob is so sweet that I already think he is my little son, the situation of keeping memories is often complicated, I also go to have the minimum at home, but my life has changed since I am a mother, life changes to be what they like to be, I don't want to imagine the look on Jacob's face when he sees his work of art in the dumpster, maybe it's a big disappointment, but in the end the parents are right, filling the house with souvenirs could be heavy, in the end it ends up being a pile of rubbish piled up on hillsides of it! Maybe you can reward him, with some drawings on the refrigerator door (just for a few days), it works for me, maybe for you too! in any case, as long as we show the love we have for our children, I don't think it matters much what we throw away! bless the family, greetings and excuse my mistakes in english, use translator
