As a child, I remember organizing...A LOT. I remember setting aside days to rearrange my bedroom or organize my dolls or books. I'd take up entire Saturday's reorganizing my closet. Rearranging my clothes by color and rearranging my books from largest to smallest. Call me strange, but if you needed to borrow a large picture book from me, I knew right where to find it. ;) So, you can imagine my delight {pure delight I tell you}, when I caught my six year old organizing her books...on a Friday night...when we should be watching a family movie...snuggling on the sofa.
I went in to find this...her sorting through her piles of books. She was sorting; fiction, non-fiction, chapter books...I asked her what she was doing "making my books into a library." She proceeded, "we need to label each section..." Here are the steps she took to creating a library for her and brother.
1) Take everything off the shelves.
2) Yell at your younger brother every time he pulls a book from the pile.
3) Stick all the labels on the shelves, after all they are stickers and what six year old girl doesn't like stickers.
4) Have mommy come in and finish the project because you're too tired to finish it yourself.
After everything was labeled to her liking, I went to get brother ready for bed. When I came back I found her doing this...
Standing on her desk, taking a photo for her "blog." By this point, I was dying I could hardly take a picture because I was laughing so hard. Then she hopped down on the desk in an attempt to get an even better shot. Hey-a blogger's gotta do what a blogger's gotta do. right?
Like mother, like daughter. Now, if I can get her to give up her Friday night's to cook, do the dishes, dust, do the laundry, clean the bathrooms, organize the playroom...we're in business. She can document it all on her "blog." :)
Catch up with me tomorrow for "Project Life Tuesday." There may just be a freebie for you!
