Moving day is less than two weeks away, so the stress level keeps increasing for us all. My oldest, the one with PTSD, is definitely struggling the most. How do I know? Please examine the following evidence:
Thursday - My normally chipper 1st grader cries at lunch because he misses me. That night, he creeps in and sleeps on our floor. These are both firsts, really.
Friday - D decides he is not going to go to school and cries all morning. That night, he has four nightmares before midnight, so Dad sleeps on his trundle bed.
Saturday - We tell the kids they can all sleep in the same room until we move so hopefully the nightmares stop. It goes okay.
Sunday - Pretty incident free, besides being incredibly clingy and needy.
Monday - I send a family picture for D to keep at school, and I start sending notes in his lunch box.
Tuesday - Teacher allows D to write me an email every recess. Have I mentioned that she is a great teacher?
So, here we are with just about 10 days to go….9…8…7… 6…5…4…3…2…1…
