I was always too stuborn to admit that I needed my missing link's help in any form.<br /><br />My oldest wants more than just his decor changed. He's ready to move out. Just waiting on those darn funds. *sigh* I can't believe I've gone through all this, for all these years, and THIS is what it's all for?! <br /><br />And, really, 37 and 22??? He's dilusional.

You are absolutely one of the funniest women I have the great pleasure of reading.<br />The room is wonderful Alison and congrats to Finn on his recognitions at school and his newly made over room. <br />Familiar things and routines are important to children of all ages and Finn is no exception...there is comfort in the tried and true, be it friends, a good book, a favorite piece of music, or the room that is our little haven. <br />Wishing you both a very good weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656175568786605239.post-78897710534355995762009-06-17T14:52:43.566-07:002009-06-17T14:52:43.566-07:00Love the blog and the photos!

I love it! . . . and I love Mummy's innate sense of the exact amount of change that will be welcomed but not too much, as to make the little inhabitant uneasy. . . and especially, Finn's amazing ability to express his needs! Really! Don't you think that's amazing? <br />. . .and one more thing . . . he's reading! How wonderful! He is precocious! Except that now there will be no more spelling secret messages in his presence! Best of luck with that!<br />Thank you for your sweet greeting, Alison!
