Bye Bye Room

We're gearing up for our big move this weekend. I hate moving!!! , so there has been lots going on - packing, painting, spackling, cleaning, more packing, more painting. Did I mention I hate moving? We're all excited to get to the new place, where we'll have more room to spread out, but Hope is having some anxieties about the whole thing. She says that she doesn't want to leave our house because her room "gives her comfort" and she doesn't want to be in a house that someone else used to live in because she "will feel like she's sitting on someone else's floors". I know she'll love it once we're there and get settled, but it may take some time. We started painting her room here back to a neutral white, so we let her write on the wall before we started:
"I love you room. Bye Bye. I love you. Love, Hope"
We've already started painting her room at the new house and she's gotten new bedding and has picked out new decals for her walls. I'm hoping the new room will give her comfort too!

I feel ya on the hate of moving. Good for you for painting Hope's room back to white, we left Lucy's old room the brightest pink you can imagine...think pepto :) They didn't ask us to paint, so we didn't volunteer!! Good luck with the move!
