Time goes by so quickly

It seems like just yesterday that we were contemplating a move and now we are officially on the 30 day countdown. It has been a crazy couple of months and it is without doubt that the best and worst is yet to come. So far if you ask the kids about moving they will be more than forthcoming about where we are moving to. The big test will come in the following weeks when what little is left in the house gets further boxed up and saying goodbye to friends. I have people telling me now how upset their children are at the prospect of loosing my children and I have to say at that moment in time I feel very guilty from uprooting all that my kids have known for the past 6 and 8 years. But change is good, at least that’s what I keep telling us.
So early next week we are venturing to the new school to register and get a tour and explain to the new school all that we have been through in the last 6 years with Syd. My hope for next week is that Sydney enjoys what she sees and maybe is a little excited about it. Sydney’s opinion I’m sure will differ and the reality is that if it goes the way yesterday went, we visited a friend of mine that works at a school and we had complete meltdown, I think I may need a good strong coffee and strength.
I’m not nieve, I know this is all tough on them and that Sydney must learn to trust everyone all over again. But she’s come such a long way and she is able to work through things better now. I must tell her exactly what we’re doing, what’s going to be happening and then I think it may at least keep her feeling slightly more secure. If I’ve learned anything at all it’s not to make things a surprise. As hard as it may be at least she knows what to expect.
I’ll keep you posted.
If you have an experience or idea that helps your child through rough times please share it with us!
