We're not going to be able to keep all of Joshua's artwork. I have just been looking at a piece of paper with a sort of greeny-browny sludge effect on it and concluded that it has to go. We've got a big house, but I'm guessing that over the years there's going to be far more artwork than even we can hope to store and archive. I always think it's always wise to keep stuff like that (even if it's just for when they make the movie of our lives - they'll need the props, I tell myself). But I think on this occasion, I've got to accept that they can't be a need for quite as much as we seem to have accumulated. One coloured-in snowman, perhaps, but is there really a need for multiple versions? And half of Joshua's 'earlier work' is just my artwork that's been scribbled on top of, and I'm sure no-one needs to see that...
Still, manage to feel bad nonetheless as greeny-browny-splodge-work drops out of my hand and floats down into the bin...
If there are any people out there who want it, you'll have to be quick...
