Closing on Monday!!!

I know I am behind on my posts...I need to post about our trip to Disney but right now, I am too tired and that one will take a while! :) So instead I am posting about our impending move. Not like you all sit around waiting for a new post on the Hatten blog, but I do hate to go too long without a new post so here goes. We close on Monday - hooray!! We aren't going to be sleeping there until the 24th. Why?!?! Because we are slowly going to move all the little stuff in on our own and just use movers on the 24th for all the big, heavy stuff. Everything is going pretty well, but tonight we hit a snag. Not a big snag, but a 3 year old snag that will hopefully soon be in the past. For the last 5 nights, Dane has bum rushed our bedroom door at around 3am. Scaring the poo out of me in the process. It takes a long time to get him settled back down to sleep. Very unlike our eldest. He's also been very melty...crying for no reason or just being totally unreasonable. Once again, very unlike Dane. Tonight bedtime was a disaster and ended with him crying over the fact that his foam pumpkin wasn't wearing his mickey mouse hat in the right manner (truly, I couldn't make this up). So after a little prompting from me he finally told me what is bothering him. And let me just add that he has NEVER mentioned being upset about moving. Ever. But tonight he said "I don't want to move to the new house, I want to move back to our old house." Heart BROKEN mom. He has been so excited all along, but maybe it has taken him a couple months to realize we're not going back. So that makes me sad, to say the least. Anyway, 2 days ago Dane and I made a paper chain to countdown the days until we move. We tear off a link on the chain every night before bed and then we're one day closer to sleeping in the new house. Maybe we should rethink the paper chain based on tonight's revelation, but as of tonight we are 13 links away from sleeping in the new house!
