It’s the little things

Mar 6th, 2007 by Accidental Thinker

In all this moving business, it’s the little things that throw the kids for a loop. Last night, we put Maia to bed in our room so we could work on packing her room. This morning, upon seeing his sister’s newly sparse habitat, it became clear just which details are most important to Noah. He was not discombobulated by the newly barren furnishings or by the utter chaos of boxes everywhere. My little go with the flow man only cared about one thing.

His most pressing concern?

“Someone took the gumball machine!”

I’d miss my gumball machine too; I have my priorities 😉

Good luck on the move and I hope you’re settled in by now or at least making progress!

[…] And, true to form, the first thing Noah noticed after we unpacked Maia’s room was the return of the gumball machine. Silly kid! Despite a few stressful moments along the way, so many things aligned with such perfect timing that we know we are supposed to be here. Still, Kent and I looked at each other last night and we both said, “I can’t believe this is our house!” We could have gotten something bigger for the same money, or a fancier neighborhood, but nothing else we looked at felt like home the way this one does. We’re in love, and we have every intention of maintaining it with the same meticulous attention that the previous owners showered on it. […]
