This is the sign she made for her bedroom door. Just below it is a calendar she marks everyday--herself.
Why? I ponder what it means.
She says it lists all of her favorite things - in her best, bored, I-cant-believe-you-do-not-know-the-answer-to-this-mom voice.
"My favorite color- Pink."
"My favorite animals - Dogs and Cats."
"My favorite...thing to do - Play" (you have to pause, because she did--in that um-why-did-I-put-that-on-there way)
She stands and looks at it. Then, grabs her black marker off her dresser and begins marking on her calendar. I say nothing about the fact that she used packaging tape to hang her signs on her door. After all, she's just claiming her space...making her way...saying "hey, here I am." And, I want her to know who she is and at 6, I think that's a pretty cool time to start.

I remember doing much the same. Most of my childhood I shared a room with my two sisters--the day I got my own, I staked it as MINE! :)
