packed already

So (that one is for you joanne), when Scott and I go to Sturgis in a couple weeks Hunter is going to Texas to stay w/ my aunt, uncle and cousins. He is SO excited but figuring out how we were gonna get him down there has been an issue. About 2 weeks ago we decided we would let him fly to Oklahoma City and my aunt could get him there (no commentary please on my 6yo flying by himself). He was very excited at flying by himself. The day I got his tickets I told him, after quiet time that afternoon he brought his suitcase downstairs and I could tell it was stuffed full. I asked him about it and he said he was packed for texas. I asked him to show me what he had packed, when he opened the suitcase it was full of his stuffed animals, every possible pocket had one in it. I made him take it back upstairs but let him leave it packed.

Then a couple days ago Hunter was going to go stay w/ poppy (Rick) but Scott must have just told him to pack his suitcase and not told him where he was going. I checked his suitcase and he had about 7 outfits packed. I asked him about it and come to find out he thought he was packing for Texes. Hes just so excited.

So he came home from poppy's on weds and I told him he was going to Texes 2 weeks from today. He got excited and said "then I have to pack, I better go put 7 outfits in my suitcase". I told him he couldn't pack yet because he needed to wear some of his clothes. He told me he could wear his other clothes and I could just wash them. He's such a thinker. Sad thing is I pack early too. When we went to Disney World last summer I was packed over a week before we left.
