Hi there - On the day you move what are you doing with DS? We think we might move on a Friday and that way DD can be at daycare and out of our hair and the movers way.
I think I'm more freaked out about transitioning her to a new home, school, etc. and she will probably be fine! We started talking last night about how she is going to live in a big new house and she looked at us and said well is Huck (our dog) coming? Is mama coming? Is daddy coming? We said yup and so are all of our toys and books. She paused and asked for more milk. So I guess she is on her way to processing it all!

Hey there....my dear and lovely friend Andrealynn0707 has offered to watch DS, so he will be at her house for a half day while we get the big things into the new place. Our movers start at 8, and my hope is to get his bed set up in time for a nap at the new house that afternoon. I think it is a good idea to move on a day when you have some kind of childcare arrangement...even if you have to hire a babysitter who can watch her at their house.
My DS is a very emotional kid and sometimes when we talk about it, he cries and says things like "I want to stay in Denver for the rest of my years" (he thinks moving means leaving forever) or "but we already have a house, I want to stay in this house." But I still think it is best that we talk about it every few days so he can keep processing the idea.
I think you just have to keep pushing the positives like a new big girl school, a bigger house, a playroom, new parks, etc., and they will see it as a good thing. I agree, it is probably harder on the parents. I just feel bad for DS because he has been at his daycare since he was 12 weeks, so his buddies there are his whole world. I am planning on getting all the parents' contact info so I can invite his old friends to his birthday party in March.
Good luck to you with all the changes!
