Children sobbing during room hoe-out, usually done right before the holidays, to make room for the glut of new things. Everything was near and dear to their hearts and they could not BEAR to part with ANY of it. Letting them choose never worked...the holiday hoe-out was always traumatic.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-66279665016578657212008-05-26T22:18:00.000+10:002008-05-26T22:18:00.000+10:00yes - excellent job done but hard !

What I tend to do, so Monet's room is not full of 'stuff' is (when she's not loking), piff some of the junky stuff - either in the bin or to give to charity. Monet's been pretty good lately by offering her stuff that I want 'out' to her little friend around the corner.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681227038111050561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-23260093250165218222008-05-26T14:30:00.000+10:002008-05-26T14:30:00.000+10:00Excellent work - room for a puppy then??:-)BBExcellent work - room for a puppy then??<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/>BBBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985371070644061676noreply@blogger.com
