We found a new place to live! Its considerably bigger than our apartment and the biggest thing is its got a GREAT backyard for Ellie and the pups to play in! We'll probably get a little playset/house so she'll have some outside activities. We move in on Monday, and I'm really excited. Ellie... not so much. She keeps telling me that she wants us to go back to our apartment. Even though she went with me to see the house, and she loved it at the time, she wants to go back to "home." I understand. I also know that I need to prepare myself for some serious adjustment issues for the move, as well as Tom's return home.
On a side note, I had a very tired little munchkin tonight. She didn't take a nap tonight so we were already planning an early bedtime. I was letting her read her stories to herself, as is part of our routine, while I folded up the laundry. Once I was done, we started our "cuddle time," which consists of, well, cuddling, while I read her a story or two. Well, I hadn't made it through the first story before she was sound asleep, snoring every so slightly. She looked so sweet and innocent. I definitely had an "I miss this" moment.
I really do love being a mother. :)
Fun!! Well, I'm actually getting very tired of moving...but I hope your new place is as awesome as it sounds! Ellie will get used to the new place in no time - that is the great thing about kids, they bounce back so fast. Isaiah will still talk about his old friends at our last place. It's better sweet. I was thinking of making him a photo album of all the places he's lived full of pictures with his friends, so he has some identity of where he's been.
