Marlena's Room

Welcome to the room of a Pre-Teen! She has the largest bedroom out of all of us. Since when is a child's room bigger than the master bedroom? Hum....strange and unfair! She is very excited & unpacked her room herself. She has asked to organize & decorate it the way she likes. This has taken me a great deal of restraint. She keeps telling me she will get around to straightening up her bookcase shelves. I know it's a good thing to allow her the opportunity to express herself in her own private space. She likes to call it her own dorm room or apartment. I reminded her that she's 12 (13 next month) & not leaving for college yet. I also told her that most dorm rooms are half the size of her room & she'd be sharing!! LOL
