The Hoarder

Madeline has a new aversion to throwing things away. She wants to keep everything. She wanted to keep paper her Christmas gifts were wrapped in because it was pretty. She keeps the paper that the stickers are stuck on when you buy it. She wants to keep everything. I have started slowly going through her room and throwing stuff away. So far, she hasn't noticed, I hope she gets over this before she can read this blog and catches onto me.

Hmmm. The Christmas paper keeping sounds a lot like Granny. Smart girl.

Wow...she makes me feel like I'm in control of my hoarding! Haha. I keep everything, but not empty sticker pages and used wrapping paper.
PS-Have you ever seen that show "Hoarders?" There was a kid on there once, it was borderline heartbreaking. I don't think M is at that level, so that's good! :)

Madeline must have gotten that hoarding trait from Andy's family. No one on OUR side would ever have such a nasty habit!!!

I do think it's a good idea to keep cleaning her room while she is at school!
