Getting a kid to clean her room is a BIG chore--especially MY kid. Fortunately, my other equally messy big kid (aka Dad) doesn't mind helping her occasionally.
Dad and Maggie both gave me 10 words about cleaning her room:
His: Fun, Hard, Difficult, Wow, Stuff, Mess, Unbelieveable, Help, Finished, Putting-away
Hers: boring, sorting, barbies, toys, trash, unfun, finding, clean, clothes, shoes
Kim, this is priceless. Your family sounds full of love and sharing. Good job.
