Evidence of Children

When you walk in my livingroom the first thing you probably would see is the little play area that I have made up for my 2 year old son. It's a little area that has a basket with a few toys in it and a small television and vcr. It also has a bookshelf with all his movies and books. If you walk into the kitchen you see my son's highchair. You would also see sippy cups in my dish drainer. Walk into the bathroom and you see a small step stool. 2 little tooth brushes beside mine. One is my 8 year old daughter's and the other my son's. You would see Mickey Mouse bubble bath sitting on the shelf and also a potty chair sitting besides the big potty. Walk into my bedroom and you would see stuffed animals on my dresser. Most of them are my daughter's Webkinz that she got for Christmas and her Birthday. Walk into the kid's room and you would see a crib for my son, my daughter's twin bed. You would also see a toybox full of toys. If you were to walk out on my back porch, you would see a small desk painted with my daughter's name. There are alot of there toys, etc that are out there, my father is going to be remodeling their playroom when Spring comes and after he gets it done we will move all these items in the playroom. There is also a big red car that is my son's for when we go outside on nice days. Yes, I don't think there is any room in my house that doesn't show signs of my children.

I feel yah. I have two daughters and there is stuff in every room. I'm always finding pacifiers all over the place too lol. They are in everything whether you like it or not. It doesn't really bother me. Sometimes I love it like when I find a paci in my work stuff at work. It has it's good points and bad points I guess.

I only have one. And she is fourteen. I had to think, but no there is not a single room in the house that doesn't reflect this!

There is evidence everywhere, even outside. My son's toys are in almost every room, his sippy cups in the kitchen, as well as pictures he drew on the refrigerator, and his magnets. The bathroom has his cute little towels and washcloths and his tub toys. Our bedroom has some toys, clothes, and other odds and ends. There are pictures of my son everywhere. The laundry room has clothes of his, and even some toys have migrated in there. Be careful walking down the hall or you may step on a car, a book, or any number of other things he leaves lying around. I don't mind the evidence. I am proud to have a son, and I like that our home reflects the people who live here. There are also some of my husband's things in every room, and my things. We all live here, we all go into all the rooms. I see no reason to hide evidence of children, or to have a 'child-free room. Even my desk, which is in the living room, has some of my son's things on it- a car he hands to me, pictures of him, pictures he drew.

There is no where in my house that you can go and not find something of my girls. I am sure that they own twice as much stuff as I do!! The yard is filled with their toys aa is the garage and both their bedrooms!! They have their own bathroom but mine is still taken up by all of their stuff!!. My dining table doesn't have any formal place mats anymore since they have been replaced with dora, spongebob, elmo, and carebears!! I wouldn't trade it for the world though!!

It's so obvious that we have a child running loose in our house. Every room has some kind of toy or article of clothing. Our kitchen is over run with bottles. Our bathroom has more in it for our daughter than it does for us!

There isn't a room in my house that doesn't show signs of a kid living here. From my garage to the attic has things that belongs to my kids. In the garage is bikes, kids chairs, the kitchen/dining/laundry room has clothes, toys and shoes. My living room has clothes, shoes, toys, and school items laying around. My bedroom has drawings my kids made for us. Even my bathroom has things in it that belong to them. The upstairs is their bedrooms and bath, so everything up there is theirs. My youngest, her room looks like a toy bomb was dropped by Santa himself. My oldest isn't as much toys, but still a mess at times. In the attic, I have 3 boxes of stuffed animals, 3 boxes of every single thing my kids have done or made. I also have 2 more boxes under my oldest bed, for more papers and art work to go into. I don't like for toys to over load the downstairs, but it's a battle that I loose at the end of the day. So when I clean, I place their items on the stair case. Then it's their jobs to take their items and put them in the proper spots upstairs. I think with having kids, it makes your home more cozy. Even with the mess of toys everywhere, you can feel the love. I mean if you can't laugh at a child riding her scooter up and down the kitchen, then your missing your funny bone.

The only place in my house where you can't tell children live here is our master bathroom. Outside of that area of the house, there are books, toys, pictures, and art supplies (etc, etc.) each providing evidence of our children. I have no clue why this is the only room like this, but that's okay - it's a bit of a santuary to adulthood I guess.

I am a grandparent who is raising a 4 yr old granddaughter and I had forgotten what it was like to have a child living with you. There is no room in my entire house that does not something of hers in it somewhere even including our bedroom. She has put her stamp of this is my home to everywhere. We have drawings on the fridge and refrigerator held there by magnets. Books on a shelf in the hallway along with her hair accessory box, clothes seems to stay where ever she casts them off while I follow her around like a private maid and a toy or two on the coffee table. You go into the bathroom and there is Shrek shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste. I love it but it has been an ajustment for us. I now have a big stuffed leopard that has to sit on my bed everyday.

Oh yes!! every room has some evidence of children. In the kitchen with little cups and plates. In the living room with some toys here and there. Childrens dvds on the entertainment center. Of course their rooms with their clothes and the pink stuff for the girl and blue stuff for the boys. Stuff like toys and shoes scattered about. In the bathroom kids shampoo and toothpaste. Our master room also has stuff of the kids in there. My father in law gets upset sometimes when he walks into my house and sees that the kids had brought out some of their toys and left them on the floor. but oh well, 1) its my house and 2) they are after all just kids. It doesn't bother me, I love it cause I love my kids :)

My house has evidence in every room. Some rooms have toys and clothes whilst in my bedroom you will just see the odd item of clothing. I love it. I want people who come to my home to see it as a family home and why shouldn't he have his things out and about, it's his home too!

I have a 5 yr old and a 1 yr old... and a small house... you can believe that just about everyspace is child oriented!! My living room is filled with toys, the bathroom has the bath toys, my bedroom is where the little one still sleeps in the same room as us, my kitchen has the highchair and pictures all over my fridge... and the kids snacks on the counter....LOL oh yeah, I should have a sign "kids live here"....
