August 12 Baaaaad mommy.... As I have told you all before, my youngest child has dyslexia. A trait of dyslexia is being unable to organize or to stay organized. This child of mine REALLY struggles with this. I can tolerate a little mess and disorganization once in a while, but this child....sigh. So heres what happened, I had been telling her to clean her room for at LEAST 2 weeks. Not kidding, every morning I would remind her to do it and every night it looked the same, or worse! So, at my wits end I told her either she would clean it or I would,and if I had too all of her toys would be boxed up and packed away. I was met with the usual response...yes mom. The next night no change. So I did it, I cleaned her room and boxed of every single toy (except those that would fit on her book shelf) and put them in the attic. Now before I get the worst mother of the year award, let me describe this mess. Ok for the sake of the blog, just the closet. I removed dirty clothes mixed with clean clothes all rolled into balls...all of which smelled like dirty socks. Then to my amazment I realized I wasnt stepping on carpet, but a FOUR INCH layer of shreded paper, puzzles pieces, game pieces, broken toys...I was angry at that point. Dyslexia not not, there is no excuse for that. It has been 3 weeks since I cleaned her room, and I have to wonder WHY do I spend money on toys? Do you know she hasnt even asked for ONE of the toys thats been packed away? I mean really, which is more fun, an easy bake oven or baking with mom? Just sharing....
