It's amazing how much one person can accumulate in 4 years. You don't realize the number of hiding places in a 2 bedroom apartment until you have to physically remove the crap from each of those hiding places. This is will be the first move for Marcus that he will realize what's going on. We have lived here since he was 18months old so he had no concept of the change back then. Now, however, he is making sure we are taking everything and I mean everything. He has been surprisingly helpful with the packing process..if you consider helpful to be stacking empty boxes as a castle then plowing them over with his scooter. And there was the tape incident...enough said! He also had to use the last of a tape roll to make his War Machine costume...again enough said!!
He has started having trouble sleeping in his room so I imagine the anxiety is building of the new place. I am expecting there to be adjustment changes - just hopefully all will be smooth again by the time August rolls around for school.
On top of the move, Marcus is graduating Pre-K...WOW -- how did we get here already? It forever seemed for far away and now we have a 10 day countdown...9...8...7...EEEEEkkkkk
It's going to be a change, leaving his school friends with Pre-K ending and moving all in the same day...literally! I know he's strong and this really is a move for the good! We will be back in Mesquite throughout the summer for sports and swimming. We still have to go check out his new school next week and register for Kindergarten. He's looking forward to it...it's me who will need the adjustment for that...lol
Getting down to the wire on this life chapter and starting the next...
Sounds like it will be a great change. Marcus will be adjusted before you know it and I know he will love the backyard! Good luck with everything.
