This last month has been such a whirlwind! But here we are, in our new place and loving it! I had a lot of general fears that the place wasn't good enough and that we were downgrading. When we got our stuff in, I was actually stoked for the apartment's shortcomings: this place has a smaller bathroom and WAY smaller kitchen, but those were the areas of the house that I could never keep clean in the old place!
Poor baby Nealie. So much transition, so little time. We moved into this place while our lovely and courageous friend Rebecca (mother of "twin" 3-year olds) took Nealie for the day. By the time she came home, her room was together and she had no problem falling right to sleep. The next bit of Nealie's transition comes this Friday: Nealie will be moving up to three days a week at the Family Development Center. We plan on having her up to five days a week by the summer so we figured, since Mommy needs more homework and personal time, we'll just move her up now.
Lately, Nealie's been doing a whole lot of yelling. When she's happy, mad, sad... I'm sure it's hard to not be able to express yourself through words, but the yelling sure is hard on me. It's the hardest thing ever, being a Mommy without all the answers. I'd love to meet Mary Poppins...
My favorite new Nealie word is THANK YOU, which is always said as she gives ME something. Such a generous girl!

I'm so glad the move went smoothly and Nealie settled in right away. She is the star of course! :)
That's awesome you got moved in so quickly! Can't wait to see your new digs! Rock on that Nealie settled in as though nothing had changed. Although now there is a ton of new exploration to be done I'm sure!
