A Sad Sight

It was sad and heartbreaking.

It was.

Maxfield standing at the end of the driveway, tears rolling down his face, screaming at the top of his lungs at the movers, "Give me back my stuff!"

    Poor kid, he probably thinks everything's gone forever! It'll be like Christmas when you unpack.

    Good luck on your move, I hope it goes smoothly!

    I admit, this post made me frown and make that little chuffing sympathetic sound. You know the one I mean.

  6. Poor Max. He doesn't know what FUN lies ahead.

    I hope it's warm and sunny by the time you get here. It pretty much sucks right now.

  7. Poor guy - I'm sure you kept some of his favorite trains out though, right??

  8. Poor Max... tell him the movers took all of his stuff, but you found a whole bunch EXACTLY the same stuff in the new place. He'll think you're a hero. :)

  10. As you know, Max wasn't the only one who cried.

  11. Aw. Poor little guy.

    Maybe by the time he gets his stuff again, he'll find some things he thinks are "new" - that would be good!

    Have a safe trip.

  12. Awww! Poor Maxfield! It was so hard making my kids understand when they were little everytime the movers came. Now they're 15 and 18 and I just told them last night the movers are coming next month...still not happy, but at least they're not standing in the driveway crying......yet.

  13. Oh, that's so sad! Sweet little man, I'm sorry he was traumatized by it. Drive fast (but safely...) so he can be reunited with his treasures ASAP!

    Or maybe he knows something you don't. Maybe he overheard the movers scheming...

    Happy trails to you! You'll be home soon.

  17. Aww. But just think when he sees it again it'll be like Christmas seeing all his old friends. But still, I can't imagine how gut wrenching that was.

    Awwwwwwww...that would have made me cry.

    But so does The Velveteen Rabbit so I'm not sure what that says about my ability to hold back any sort of emotion...

  23. We are moving to PA from TX in less than 2 months and are trying to prepare our 3 year old for the shock of moving. He knows that all his toys will be in his new house but we haven't talked about how a different truck will carry them away first. Your post just inspired me to go over that with him! Thanks!
