The Gomez's are moving, we have considered many pros and cons, and found that it was time for us to move into a bigger place. With the addition of Iggy into our lives and the new projects that we are looking into, we will need a bigger venue to hold the gatherings that we are planning.
Having lived in the North for so many years, I know we will miss much as we move to Central Singapore. I know I will miss the wonderful cool breeze and the park I run in every morning for the past few years. Not forgetting the playgrounds, my first two boys tumbled and scraped their knees on, in their toddler years. The beach that was near home and the shopping malls around us. But with improvement comes change, and that change needs delicate balance, especialy for Ivan.
In order to get Ivan on board with the move, I decided to get him to pack up with us. It was so adorable! He packed up all his CDs and DVDs, into mini boxes and did an inventory for each box too.
Involving your child into such transitions are very important. It helps them anticipate the move and have some control on the situation. Just like us, children don't like to feel helpless and vulnerable. They want to know what is to come next and how they can be in control of their surroundings.
When we viewed the place we were buying, we actually asked Ivan which room he preferred and thankfully, both brothers chose different rooms, making it easier for us.
Ivan also gets to choose his furniture and fittings. The paperwork and sale of the property, is almost done and we are getting ready for the transition. I pray a gets on smoothly. I will update you guys, on Ivan's journey into our new home.
