Trying to take the stress out of moving has been a challenge, but it's actually being accomplished. Once the decision was made regarding the house we found and fell in love with, the next big step was finding where the schools were for the children. What district were we to live in and what was the distances to the schools. We drove to the schools and walked into the office to register. I wanted to make the transition as smooth as possible and I wanted my children to know that I supported them and wanted them to have a good first day of school in their town.
Parental support can either make it or break it for the children.
The first day of school was a game. Timing us to see how long it took us to get to each school was fun. Once at the school, we had a guessing game if their new teacher would be a man or a woman. Well, it made for fun laughs as we entered the office anyway. The next game was to decide what kind of lunch they'd eat and if they'd opt for sack lunch the next day.
