Out with the old...

Do you think kids are effected by packing and moving or do they just go with the flow? Before moving into the new place, Katelyn had never been into the new place. While I was packing up our old apartment she began to act clingy and unpacked boxes almost as fast as I could pack them. Therefore, most of the packing was done in two evenings so she was less involved.

Friday night she stayed with my boyfriend Eric and his children so I could move everything aside from the furniture out of my apartment. Saturday movers came after I got off work and moved the reminder of my things while Katelyn was with my parents. Sunday morning when my parents brought Katelyn back to the old apartment she cried. Unaware that we had a new apartment she was weary.

Upon arriving in the new apartment Katelyn looked skeptical. Why were our things in this new/strange place?? Then she saw patches... out came a squeal and she pointed frantically looking at me as if she was saying "Mom, do you see this?!? Patches is here!!". And all was well.  Patches and Katelyn are both adjusting to the new place. We have nearly double to open space. Once the unpacking is complete it is certain that this place will feel like home.

Good riddance old apartment. This new place finally feels like home.
