We moved Laura from her double room to a single room today. This is before we moved all of her things.
The move only took about two hours from start to finish including unpacking, and it made such a huge difference for her! She was happy and excited, and the single biggest hurdle to her settling in at SEMO has been removed.
We do have a small list of things to get like a larger area rug, but it was so great to see Laura with no anxiety for the first time. She sent us off to Columbia with big hugs and a smile. When we were leaving, Andy told her that it was his turn to be sad, and she said, “Dad, you know you can just call me.” There were no signs of homesickness at all. Our mission is accomplished. Let her college experience really begin!
