Media Relations 101

A Room of My Own

Dad: Isn't her bedroom a "room of her own?"

Introducing...my brand new playroom! It took a lot of furniture rearranging (it felt like we were moving!) But it was all worth it! Take a look!


Here is my playtable and cushions for seating. The table has three different sets of legs so that the table will grow with me over time. Shown here - "toddler table." Next will be "elementary school table (we'll add some chairs) and then "high school table" (it'll be normal desk height.) Can the roll of craft paper stay all the way through high school, Mom?

Here is my reading corner. Say "hi" to Milo the Monkey!

Here is my toy bin, it's easy for me to get out and put away all of my stuff!

Here is my art wall. it's decorated with a tree mural and has clips to hang up all of my artwork from school! Oh, and check out my tent! Cool, huh? That's where I go to relax and get away from it all. I lounge on the fluffy pillows.


Finally, here is my growth chart!


Thanks, Mom and Dad! What a wonderful place to hang out! Come on over and play!
