Amber from Everything But The Grill asks :
What do your children find hardest to adjust to?
This is a hard one. I asked my middle little and he said "school." I wonder if he'd say the same thing if we were still living in Ohio?
I asked him again ... in the hopes that he'd come up with something remarkable for his answer. Do you know what he said? "Nuffin' "
I think that initially, it was hard on them to not have some of the normal goodies like 'Nilla Wafers, graham crackers, and Little Einsteins on Saturday mornings. Of course, they had a hard time adjusting to saying goodbye to family/friends ... but all in time, those growing pains have eased and I dare say ... those things have mostly gone by the wayside.
Speaking of friends, one thing I've noticed - that I'll blog about later in more detail - is that friendships here, although quick to get started ... are only arms length. That is a struggle for our middle guy ... and he may never fully adjust to that.
Mia misses the only life she's ever known. Her 4 acres of land, her dog and cat, walking to get the mail from the mailbox. She mourns her little life in "O-Hi-A" nearly every day ...
Terran had a hard time (and still does to a degree) adjusting to the rigors of high school here. Terran also greatly misses his football and lacrosse. We are hoping that maybe while we're here, we can get a little pickup game of lacrosse started and *maybe* even start some clinics and get sponsors from companies to help bring lacrosse to Delhi! (yep - I said it out loud ... Terran would love to do this ... but he needs my commitment to make it work)
They all three handled the adjustment to the day-in-day-out issues of moving to a place like Delhi in stride.
They really have all tackled the changes head on and had little issues!
