Change of plans...

[pattrose]

it's so exciting living with a ten year old. LOL She came home from school today and said, "Grandma, that other bedroom set was too expensive. Do you think we could look at cheaper ones and this time I want it in white? So we looked, she chose and we'll go shopping next week, I believe. This is what she chose. It was less than half the price. Smart cookie, that one. :) This isn't a very good picture of it. But she wanted drawers built in and a headboard with a shelf. So this is what she choose. I like it better than the other one because it's white instead of cream colored. I'm not wild about cream. But she wanted it. I figured someone at school might have said something to help her change her mind. Who knows? My sister, Mary is building a wonderful matching bookshelf in white for her room too. Things are going well.

I'm with you, I like this one better than the other one.

Sam is so lucky you let her choose what she wants! Any time I got anything new like a bed my parents bought it and I saw it for the first time when it arrived. Though I do still use the bed they bought for me when I was about 14. It's had at least three new mattresses over the years, but the bed frame is still solid.

But then my mother never did believe - or wouldn't admit - that I was 'old enough' to know enough to make a decision (or pass an opinion) on anything, right up to the day she died.

Looks nice. I'm glad she's getting some choices. That always helps a kid feel more secure.

Your baby has great taste!

Yay, smart Sam! I think it looks great! I hope Sam loves how her bedroom turns out.

I think it's great that you're giving Sam a say in what she has. She obviously has a sensible head and good taste. I prefer this one out of the two.
