It's no secret, moving isn't fun!! While Ramsey and I have been up North to Mom's the last few months, we've just "made adjustments". For being a youngster with "sort-of" a routine, Ramsey's done relatively well adjusting. No matter what, fun has been found in many forms!
Usually, he hangs out with Nana Karen during the day. Sometimes, after work, we go to the park to play for a few minutes (with Riggsy too). Then, at night, he helps me box and sort (usually getting into anything and everything). Unfortunately, late nights and bedtimes have become a new routine (yes, I'm a terrible mother).
The days leading up to the city-wide rummage/Mom's moving sale, Mom had to go to the doctor. I was frantic with much to do. I got an unexpected visitor in the garage one afternoon; Auntie Shana's mom, Ranae, came with a beer (for me) in one hand and a big hug (wasn't expecting the beer! lol). Seeing that I was pressed, she took Ramsey's hand and said she wanted to take him to the park.
And she did. They went to both parks, the gym (to run around mad and play ball), back to her house (to play Legos, eat ridiculous amounts of peanut butter, and visit with Ranae's husband Bob), and stopped back at Mom's house to check in.
Ramsey didn't want to leave her side, so she took him back to her house for more play! He was literally with them for hours!
"Granny Nae Nae" and "Grandpa Bob" had new nomenclature from a little boy they'd met only a few times before. They were instant family!
Later that evening, Ranae and oldest daughter Kris came back to the house to visit everyone again.
I never ask for help and I rarely accept it. In this case, I am so glad that I did (and so was Ramsey)! Such a blessing to have such a great "family".
