End of an era

[bookaddict43]

After watching the little guy fall off his bed every night, I've decided to buy a double bed for his room.

Of course, to me, that means - time for a whole room change.

As well as the bed; I'm painting the old shelves and buying some new ones and am doing a new floor. The carpet is coming up and floating floorboards are going down...

Before the carpet comes up I have to move furniture, which means of course I have to clean out the cupboards, shelves and too many toy boxes!

So tonight we cleaned out the cupboard and got rid of all the stuff I've been storing. All the little guy's paintings (he was at daycare for 5 years before school), Easter egg baskets, craft objects, birthday cards - everything. We kept the report cards and a couple of drawings and everything else went into the bin.

And I'm sad - he's 10 and he's growing up :(

Oh god, I know that pain of throwing things away. It really hurts.

It does! *sniffs and wibbles*

Wow! He's 10 already? O_O

Aww... *hugs* Why do they have to grow up?! Why?! *sigh*

Still, he's really going to like his new room!

But isn't it amazing to watch him grow up and develop?

It's hard to watch them grow up, I know. Focus on the decorating... that always puts me in good mood.

Is he helping with the decorating and choosing, too? Such a big boy!
