I think one of the big things was we spend a night with daddy (he has been away since september). This must have been so confusing for Axl. We were with daddy again.. acting normal and then all the sudden he is gone again. Not long now and we will be back together as a family
Moving away from all this family and friends. This is a huge thing as well. His whole life, we have spend minimum 1 day a week with each side of our family and minimum one day a week with his friends. He has such a good little group of friends already..... side note.. we have been FaceTiming and he loves it!!!
I can't imagine how confused he must be. All the sudden.. he is at a new home.. new school.. doesn't get to just call around to anyone's house anymore. I feel so guilty but in the long run this will benefit him.
But honestly.. he has been amazing.. a little more naughty than usual.. that is to be expected. It hasn't even been 2 weeks yet. One of the main things he has been doing is telling me he doesn't like his new school and doesnt want to go back. Even though he says these things... He is happy to run off and play when I drop him off... he is happly playing when I pick him up... the teachers tell me he has not cried at all and eats and sleeps like a champ!! I'm putting his comments to me, down to acting out.
I feel like you may be expecting this big speech about how I recovered from the huge change and my child being a terror but I guess what you should take from my story is children are more resilient than you think.
From the beginning I went into parenting, with the moto... don't alter you'r life around the baby.. they will adjust to yours. This has honestly worked for us and this is a fine example. I could have been worrying terribly about this massive change for my boy but it really hasn't effected him as much as I thought it would.
