Lindsay and Courtney's room needed a serious overhaul. Their room resembled a re-enactment of a school class of ponies and barbies on a field trip to the local landfill.
Armed with a couple of garbage bags and 2 empty laundry baskets, I tackled the room. It took a couple of hours, but it looks GREAT now. There's nothing under the bed. There's nothing under the dresser. There's no garbage on the bookshelves or clothes stuffed under the mattresses. The beads have been vacuumed out from the baseboards.
Courtney HATED my work when I finished. With enormous tears and loud wails, Courtney surveyed the room and loudly declared, "I NO LIKE DIS!"
And she would NOT take her nap in the clean room.
I asked her if she wanted me to throw all the garbage back in the room. "Yes!" was her adamant reply. Talk about getting no appreciation for your labour.....
She followed me everywhere, completely over tired and sobbing hysterically. When I put her in her bed she howled all the louder, telling me, "I DON"T LIKE ROOM!" "I NO SLEEP HERE!!"
Finally I had to administer some serious discipline. Sulkily accepting her fate, Courtney settled into her bed and promptly fell asleep.
Today she still tells me she does not like the clean room. Every time she steps in the room she lets me know. Hmmm, I wonder what her house will look like one day.....
I love it....the little monkey!!!
