Gotta go to work

We finally disassembled our old computer, moving it to the basement, leaving our desk empty. The only thing that remained on our desk was our printer, our internet cable modem and our wireless router. It looked all nice and clean, and really kind of empty.


Now, we could have left this alone, and just had a really nice and clean desk, but we went a different direction. After having moved things around a bit, and finding a secure location for our laptop when we aren't on it, I had a wonderful idea.


Our desk is the kind where there's little shelves on the right side of the desk for storage. Recently this had been taken over by Brooklyn, her paper, pencils, crayons and cordless phone. She has 2 little chairs that my sister made for her before she was born, and she keeps one in her room and one in the office, located right in front of one of the shelves. She has spent a lot of time on that little chair working on her work, and sometimes by accident coloring on her desk.


So, as I moved things around, I made a spot for Brooklyn to have her very own office on our desk. We moved the TV that we had on the floor to the corner of the desk, just simply to get it out of the way. On the other corner of the desk, I put her cordless phone, and she has a coffee mug with her pencils, pens she can use and crayons. She has her pads of paper and her sticky note container complete with her sticky notes.


For the first few minutes, she just sat there calling people and writing down things like she had actually gone to work. She called my dad, her Papa, several times and every time she got off the phone saying "well, good" and then she started marking something down on her paper. I think she will like her new spot, and will get a lot of work done. And, she is very,very cute and such a big girl!

  1. How adorable! It is so nice when they can have a place of their own to just let their imagination run. She looks so grown up sitting there.

  3. She's so precious, Malisa! :o)Looks like the desk was a great idea! She looks so grown up. Reminds me of Claire carrying around the cordless phone and scribbling messages all of the time! She's quite busy, looks like Brooklyn can be that way, too! :o) They grow up so fast, don't they?
    Claire will be 3 Friday. I am just in shock. Seems like yesterday I was just learning what this "mommy stuff" was all about!


    Talk to you later.
