[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She will do great - far better than you will!

Take one full suitcase and pack her sheets and bedding (unwashed so they smell like home).  Put her familiar stuffed animals and favorite books into the suitcase.  Pack something unbreakable from her wall. If she has a plate or cup she likes to use put it in there.  Fit anything else that you can in there and this travels with you - not shipped.  This is home to a two-year-old.  Trust me.

Where are you moving, OP?  [/quote]

+1.  Talk generally about the move and maybe read a book with her about moving, so at least she will have heard about and thought about what to expect.  If there are things that you can give her choices about, you should do so. Maybe ask her what she wants in her backpack for the plane trip, and let her choose a few things that she’d like to keep close.  If you’re moving somewhere very different from where you are now, consider bringing laundry detergent or soap with you and maybe a blanket or throw from her bed. PP’s point about having things that smell like home is excellent!
