Decluttering With Kids~ Sorting Books

We have a few summer decluttering projects in the works over the next couple weeks at our house. Today’s project was to sort through all my son’s books. He still had books on his shelves from when he was an infant. I think it’s harder for me to let go of some of his books than it is for me.
I gave him two large plastic totes one for books he wanted to keep, and one for books he wants to get rid of.
When we were done we had two full totes of books. The books he wants to get rid of are going in to the school, I know they go through tons of books there.
The books he wants to keep we put on the bookshelf (it’s really two old apple crates we use for a bookshelf). He still has quite a few chapter books on the bookshelves in my office, and up in his room.
We don’t have a shortage of books at our house.
