We are moving about 45min away from our current place. I'm on mat leave with my 4mo and my oldest (4yo) is in daycare, she starts JK in September in our new neighborhood.

I have a spot for the 4yo at a daycare that is attached to the new school she will eventually go to. She would only attend this new daycare for 5 weeks before JK begins in September.

She's a sensitive kid. She's been crying and clinging every day at dropoff since her baby brother was born. Crying every night for the last couple weeks since we started packing boxes. This is despite all efforts to hype her up about the "big new house".

On the other hand,. I NEED hands-free time to get our new home set up, and having two kids around for over a month will be the end of my sanity...

Looking for some advice or similar experiences!

We are moving to a new house in a week, about 45min away from our current place. I'm also on mat leave with a newborn (4mo) and my oldest (almost 4yo) is in daycare; and is starting JK in September in our new neighborhood.

I have a spot secured for my oldest at a daycare that is attached to the new elementary school she will eventually be attending. She would only attend this new daycare for exactly 5 weeks before JK officially begins.

Here's the thing: she is a sensitive kid. She's been crying and clinging every day at dropoff since her baby brother was born. Crying every night for the last couple weeks since we started packing boxes. This is despite all efforts to hype her up about the "big new house".

On the other hand, I am on mat leave managing a newborn, and in charge of the packing, unpacking, and settling into the new house. I NEED hands-free time to get our new home set up, and having an almost 4yo to entertain on top of everything else for over a month will be the end of me and my sanity...
