Stuffed animals. These, along with Graham’s were actually used as packing materials around a few breakable items, so they didn’t factor into The Box limit. (Playtime: only used at night.)

It’s safe to say that she didn’t need to bring most of these items. In fact, she was growing out of a lot of them before we left (but I’m always encouraging them to hold on to their childhood as long as possible, so I didn’t argue that point.) Was it worth it to have some familiar objects around during our first few weeks here? I’m still not sure. If I did it again, maybe I’d insist on a smaller box.
