We are supposed to get our house Friday, and no one is more excited than Lydia. She has lots of collections/treasures/stuff that she loves to organize in certain ways in lots of space. This doesn't mesh well with sharing a small room with a 1 and 3 year old. The kids' room has a total of 11 drawers. When we moved in, all the kids had roughly the same number of drawers in the dresser and chest. Over the last six months she has convinced Seth of ideas such as he can keep his socks, underwear, and T-shirts together in one drawer and give her the unneeded drawers. Currently she has 7 drawers, Seth has 3 drawers, and poor Morgan is fighting hard to keep her 1 little drawer for everything she owns that belongs in a drawer.
Lydia's only refuge for treasures that she doesn't want touched and time alone is her bed- the top bunk. Since the three-n'-under crowd aren't allowed up the ladder, she keeps all of her special items on her bed. She also recently discovered Beverly Cleary books on tape and enjoys listening to books far from the reach of any annoying younger siblings.
