    We moved twice in 3 mths 2 years ago when DS was 1 and DD was 3 and it was fine. First thing I did in the both houses was to set up their rooms for them so that would feel it was home and their special place. We talked it up a lot before we moved as well to prepare them and I worried a lot but kids are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for at times, I am sure you will find she adjusts really well! Lots of visits to your mums will help too, you are lucky you are so close! Good luck!

    Echoing the PPs - she'll be just fine.
    My DD has had as many different houses as she's had birthdays (5). When you don't have to worry about the tedium of moving house it's like an adventure. The first couple of times I made sure she had all her stuff set up first but the last couple I had her little brother to worry about and neither have batted an eyelid.

    I've moved several times with my DD and never had any problems -- that includes moving once while I was still with her Dad, moving out of her Dad's, moving in and out of my parents, living on our own and moving in with DP. She is close to all of those people but I think in the end, as long as I'm there then she is okay and I'm sure your DD will be the same.
