		<description>i want to add to this blog, but will do so as a comment. i shared this blog with an art therapist friend today, and she gave me such a wise reminder that i want to share here: 

&quot;From a children&#039;s grief and loss perspective: Being upset, mad, sad or excited, scared... whatever... to make it all okay.  To normalize for her that any of these feelings are to be expected.  To share that you and Craig may feel some of these things to - to mourn together all of the losses that are taking place in this big change. I think sometimes because we want to avoid the unpleasant and painful, we may push the happier or more hopeful feelings and actually bypass the deep, dark pain of it.  I&#039;m imagining as a parent, that this could happen even more, as you want to save your child from anything terrible.  These tough times are teachers, too.  Make space for them in all the cool art stuff you guys do and all along the road to San Fran.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;Moving House&quot; from Usborne is also a wonderful Book for Novi to read right now. We played a game of moving with a toy truck and some little jewelry boxes and the polly pockets/small animals packed their boxes and moved from one doll house or cardboard house to another. You could also draw/illustrate a story board or small book for her to show her the sequence of steps for your move. Looking at photos (I&#039;m assuming you took) of the new house was very helpful for our daughter during our move. Some anxiety and adjustment is expected. Be on the lookout for adjustment disorder after the move -- we spent 4 months on the therapist&#039;s couch dealing with this one first hand after our move last year.</description>
