We took apart his bed and he took everything out of his nightstand and scrubbed everything down. It helps him to see how much 'stuff' there was in his room - he's much more motivated to give it away...
A couple of 'After' shots...
He couldn't part with the stack of boards (yet) he has broken in TKD - they're under the desk...
We gave away 3 bags of clothes - one of shoes - and then there were two trips to the Second Chance with toys and books...
Now - all the books are on the bookshelf and all the Legos are in bins under the bed and you can actually see the floor of the closet - YAY!
wow, can scout rub off on my "scouts"???

ReplyDeletehis snake is so cool!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the room. E
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI knitted that several years ago - we had been to the big zoo in Columbia SC and Scout saw some colorful snake plushies - and in his sweet little 4 year old voice said - I would like to have a snakey - and you can make me one Mama - but I want mine to be striped like a real rattlesnake and real rattlesnake colors - so what was a Mama to do but knit a stuffed snake - he has teeth and a forked tongue too...
He is such a good kid to clean out his room. My daughter wont part with anything. Everything she owns in her mind is a treasure even down to the pine cone, sea shell and bird feather collections.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the snake on his bed. I thought you might have knitted it.
