[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re overthinking it but it’s understandable. She won’t even remember the old home eventually (or at least not much). The transition time might be challenging but you’ll all get through it.[/quote]

Not remembering is not the same as not being effected by it longterm.

PP here and you need to make her world as secure and safe as possible with her things and your attitude.  [/quote]

Military spouse and frequent mover here.  She won’t remember and it won’t affect her. (Whoever said it will be harder on you is correct!). At this age, YOU are her home.  As long as she has you (and you sound lovely and very loving) she will be fine.  A familiar stuffy or a blanket are great. When my son was almost 3, we moved from overseas back to the United States, straight into an Airbnb.  Kid loved it. It had a view of the highway, and he loved to watch the traffic lol. When the time came to move into our condo, it was probably some of the most stressful days of my life. We had boxes and boxes of stuff coming from around the country that had been in long term storage. Our home was a chaotic mess.  I was thinking, he’s going to hate this! Well one of the boxes was a see-through tote that had some old Thomas the trains in it.  He walked in, didn’t even notice the hundreds of boxes all around, saw the Thomas trains and started playing. Just perfectly happy. As long as there is a clean and safe place for them to sleep and they can be near you, kiddo will be fine! [/quote]
