Adjusting to RV Life

I’ve started writing this post several times and have been having a hard time putting our adjustment period in words. The things that I thought would take time to adjust to have honestly taken a back seat to things I wasn’t anticipating being as big of a deal.

Sweetie Girl, has probably struggled the most with adjusting. She can be an emotional girl to say the least and I think her adjustment period has been affecting everyone to some extent. She had her own room in our house, so she’s adjusting to sharing a room, and a bed off the floor and noises that she isn’t use to. She’s also old enough to worry about things, knowing that we’re leaving friends at church and her homeschool group. She was super excited to see family, but there was and still is a lot of unknowns in this move.

Little Man has probably done the best, but probably had the least to adjust to. He is sleeping in a bunk, which is the biggest change for him. He kept his mattress and has shared a room for as long as he can remember. He’s always been a great sleeper. He’s not quite old enough to worry about friends and all that.

Baby Boy moved out of his crib, but seems to be sleeping better for the most part. He’s had a couple of nights where he woke up several times, but I can’t always tell who woke up first because sometimes it gets too loud before I can get to the room and everyone ends up awake. Things are settling down now and we’ve had more nights where everyone gets to sleep through the night and that’s wonderful news for this sleep deprived Mommy!

Grandpa and Grandma left for their summer of travels early this morning, so we said our goodbyes last night with a trip to play at Sonic, bedtime stories and lots of hugs and snuggles. We’ve got a couple of weeks before we head out on our summer of travels, so we’ll hopefully be completely settled and in a good routine before we move out.

The space hasn’t bothered me and we’ve been enjoying tons of time outside. It’s been nice being near family with Mother’s Day, birthdays and also to sort through what we need in the RV and what we can move to storage.

I'll post pictures again soon. We're finalizing our plans for the summer and I'm pretty excited about everything!
