Its an adventure packing. For anybody. But throw 2 kids 2 and under into the mix and a small space and its nearly impossible. One of the favourite activities for our kids is to "help". They love to help unpack and unload things. This is useful except when we are actually trying to pack. Yesterday, we got rid of our changetable dresser -its a two in one- and taking all the clothes and diapers out was fun but trying to keep them organized in a suitcase where the dresser was is a challenge. They like to jump on top, unzip it, climb inside, throw the clothes out and put them back in. Whatever- I guess if there is nothing else in their room its not a big deal. We have 7 full hockey bags and 1 rubbermaid packed and ready to go. We are hoping to only have 3 bags more at most. Everything else is in bins of give-away, throw out, MCC, or maybes-if we have room we will bring it and if not...well...hopefully we will find a spot for it somewhere else. We dont want to leave anything in storage. Some things are on loan indefinitely.
So that's our house right now. Child #1 is doing OK with the craziness- a little clingy and sensitive, crying at the drop of a hat. I think he wonders whats going on and even though we explained to him whats happening, I think he is a little insecure as he sees his dresser leaving and toys and books being packed up. Child # 2 couldn't be happier. Other than deciding to sprout 2 teeth this week, she is in great spirits and thinks all of this is exciting! Everything should be done by Friday when our bags are getting picked up to begin their journey across the country. As sad as that day will be, I'm looking forward to be done packing and can focus on cleaning and getting rid of whats left, and packing our smaller bags that we will be living out of for the next 6 weeks or so. Happy organizing to us!
