My 9-Year Old Tackles Her Wardrobe

Last week I begrudgingly posted a picture of Isabelle's messy wardrobe. She and I were in the very beginning stages of sorting through summer and winter clothes and packing up all of the clothes that no longer fit. This is what her wardrobe looked like:
It was so full of stuff just shoved onto shelves that the doors could barely close all the way.

On Sunday, I asked Isabelle to get started with the sorting and folding. I fully expected to join her after I finished what I was working on. However, when I went in her bedroom 10 minutes later, she was well into her work and told me she could do it on her own. How could I turn that down?

I did check in with her periodically and helped her out whenever necessary. But really, she didn't need much help. In fact, she did a fantastic job on her own.
She correctly sorted out her summer clothes and her too-small clothes into separate garbage bags. She folded and organized all of her shelves. She even managed to trow away some of the crafts that were cluttering up the hanging side of her wardrobe. I gotta tell you, I was mighty proud of this girl. Maybe I should have her tackle my closet next?
