Ainsley is all aboard as long as she can bring "Ellie, The Computer, the computer upstairs, my sheets."
Ainsley: Can we bring all three bandaid boxes?
Dad: Yes.
So, we can bring everything in the house?
Dad: Yes.
Ainsley: Can we bring the house?
Alexandra is not too thrilled with the thought.
Lexi: Mom, I like the trashcan in the new bathroom okay, but I don't like the sink. If we can take our sink, I'll go.
Lexi: Wait Mom! Henry is coming this summer, how will he know where to find us!?
Lexi: That house is brick! If we move to a brick house, I want it to be a 3-story brick house - like the one we looked at last year (an apt complex). Mom: Well, this house has a 3rd story in the attic. Maybe Daddy can make that a room. Lexi: Okay, if daddy makes it a 3 story brick house, we can go.
Lexi: Wait, wait, how are we going to have a playdate with Eleanor this summer? She'll go to the wrong house!
Lexi: Can we take our tree?
With all these questions, you'd think I'm not reassuring her with every breath. I am. But, she doesn't want to hear it at this point. So sad... It's hard for us, hopefully they'll like the new place as much as they looooove this house.
holy moly they're tough negotiators!
