CHAPTER TWO
Time to Start Packing
Emma’s family began to prepare for their move to Mapleton. Mommy and Daddy called the movers and set the date for their move to their new home.
Slowly, they began wrapping everything in the house and placing it inside cardboard containers. It wasn't long before their little yellow house turned into a sea of boxes.
One day, Mommy and Daddy asked Emma to go into her room to start packing her things.
"Get all your clothes and toys together and put them into boxes," Mommy told Emma. "I'll help you tape everything up when you're all done."
Emma wasn't sure where to start. She looked around her room. A shelf on one side was stacked with fluffy stuffed animals, dolls, and all kinds of toys. In her closet hung dresses, blouses, and coats, and her shoes were organized neatly on the floor beneath them. In her dresser were neatly folded pants, pajamas, and socks.
She got down on her knees and reached underneath her powder blue bed. Emma pulled out a small cardboard shoebox. Stuffed inside the box were photographs of Emma since she was a little baby up until now.
