Now, I totally understand that SD7 is losing her room at my home, and I get that it could be quite upsetting for her too...so I have encouraged and the change all fun and something to look forward too....said how things will look, where things will go etc....I also bought the underbed storage boxes on Friday gone and explained to SD7 what they were for and why.....she was soooo excited! lol...she happliy packed her toys away and helped to sort out what toys she wanted rid of, what she wanted to take home and what she wanted left.......

OH was chuffed with SD7s enthusiasm, and said that he "ok with the swap" as he was a bit worried about it "but now she has her own room at her moms and lives back there now, she has her own space she doesnt really need the room here now"...I was shocked, but glad.....

So anyway, SD7 asked what colour the room was going to be for her brother.........now I must stress that after previous advise from you guys, I KEPT SHTUM!.....OH answered her, and stated the choice OH and me had.....SD7 then said "well its not being done yet....I dont want it too, so it can wait until a long time cos I want the room to stay pink all the time!"...OH told her that that wasnt possible, and that we had to get babies things ready too, as well as BD7s room for them both.....SD7 was still on it though...even when she has been moved to BD7s room, she has stated that we "are not allowed to decorate the room".....OH left it at "well, its not your choice when daddy and stressedstep decorate princess, and we have to decorate babies room before he is born so his things are ready for him for when he comes home"....

Typical 7 year old behaviour maybe...I know my 7 year wouldnt say that......typical SD7 behaviour, probably yes.....I think its the expectant side that comes out in her.....one minute she is OK then the next its "not allowed to change"...otherwise, she seems to have been OK with things....just OH to sort out now...
