So, it's very likely that C and I will be flying home to the States in July and staying there (with my parents). I can bring anything I can ship to them and that I can fit in my suitcases. We probably wont see the rest of our things for a year.
What would you take/ship in this situation? What would be your "must-haves" for you (and your child)? C is 14 months old, she will be 16 months old when we leave.

The biggest change that I have seen in D from about 16 months to 22 months is her playing with dolls and stuffed animals and play kitchen stuff. At 14-16 months she had no interest and suddenly that is her favorite thing to do. And she still loves books. We can't get enough books.

@T.H.O.U.: We're going to do play kitchen/food/etc for Christmas this year. 
She'll be about 19 months old.

@regberadaisy: Well, our TV is a 51" monster, so that's not really feasible. We're hoping to have a co-worker of Jeffs stay here while we are gone, so the house own't be empty. Good point about paperwork though. I didn't think about that.

I still have my stuff from a move in December of last year in storage. We haven't missed any of it.
We did pack a small box of must haves, which included our laptops, cameras, documents and other random things. Everything else, I bought new, including car seat and stroller.

I'll let you know in a month when I pack to move cross-country for a year! We're renting a furnished place with a stocked kitchen so I really only need to bring clothing, toys, incidentals. The rest will go to storage.
