Kelsjanae's Profile

I was the youngest in my class. All in all, I came out of it ok. I was always the best reader, and the tallest, despite being almost six months younger than the next youngest. That being said, my relationship building skills werent at great as my older peers, and it took me a long time to catch up in that respect, which was miserable. Now, as an elementary educator, I have spent a lot of time in primary grade classrooms. I have seen 4 year olds who are totally ready for school, and 5 1/2 year olds who should really be held back another year. Parents should not only consider their childs readiness in terms of academics and physical aspects, they should also take a good look at the maturity of their child, because bright kids are not always emotionally ready. Its hard because its pretty obvious that a 5yo who is still wearing 3T clothing and needing naps is simply too small for kindergarten, but when your 4 1/2 yo is an inch taller than everyone else, and already reading, its a little bit harder to be truley objective.

AT, i love you to pieces but this is getting silly. please please show me a real dorm or realisting apartment! while we all wish to live in charming and individualistic flats in the city, some of us have to settle for cookie cutter apartments in giant complexes or 12x12 dorm rooms on campus. i want to see pictures of real dorm rooms!

-when buying new shoes you consider how they will look on display, since they dont fit in your closet
-your coffee table is your dining room table
-you really do store sweaters in the oven
-you actually have a murphy bed

so cute and cozy, but i agree with posters who think this space would better suit an overstuffed arm chair and ottoman.

Love this. The desk area (home office?) pictured above could also benefit from drapes or curtains being hung, so that it can be hidden when not in use. Its so nice to close the door on a home office or work space, without having it stare at you :) My office does have toys, btw.

fantastic! my mom (bless her heart) bought me a disgusting butterfly chair with a purple faux fur cover (its so tacky it hurts!) the chair is so comfy that i cant throw it out, and now i can just make a new cover for it!
