Tank to the rescue!

I have a secret weapon in the fight against debris behind the washing machine: Tank and his robot arm!

For his 3rd birthday, Tank's best buddy, Cole, gave him a robot arm. By squeezing the handle, the claw at the other end opens and closes. We found that it becomes a powerful tool to reach down into the narrow space between the wall and washing machine.

Previously we had lowered his older brother, Dodge, down by his ankles (he was the only one brave enough), but this is far more easier muscle-wise and funner (yes, I know it's technically more fun). It also makes Tank feel important since it is his robot arm and he can do this task on his own. Another benefit of this scenario is that his little butt sticking up in the air is super cute as opposed to the frightful picture of my overgrown haunches in the same position.
