I am mainly sad that we won't see dh for a year since K is only 2 now. Booo. I really don't want her to stop remembering him. Just try and show her lots of pictures. If she has favorite stories, get video of him reading some and play them to her before bed. They also have recordable books. Maybe make her a quilt with photos of them together. You can always go the daddy doll route too. And skype whenever you can...

Mine is on the same as KP and the only thing that bothers/annoys me (and yes I know it's wrong of me to think this way) is when I talk to people and their husbands left after J and will be back before J It makes me angry, sad, and annoyed. That's what I'm facing with my very best friend.. I'm even photographing her homecoming. It'll be an emotional day for me, but I wouldn't have any other person do it for her. My neighbor asked me to take pics for her husbands homecoming. I told her only if she can't find anyone else. I did ONE and I was bawling the whole time it was bad lol.

She won't. When did she turn 2? J left for school shit a few weeks before Jojo turned 2, came back when joJo was 26mnths and left for the year when he was 29mnths. JoJo never forgot him.

That's my plan, Jodi. I thought of the Hallmark card, too. She turned 2 last month, Blubbers.

How long till he leaves?
Better than the story videos is to vidoe them playing together. Nothing planned, just grab a video camera and tape a few minutes hhere and there. Whether it's rough housing, dolls, tag whatever they do together. That way you can show her the videos on ocassion and it's REAL , not just dadddy reading words about a mouse or princess in a book. It'll really jog start true feelings and memories about her and her daddy.

Less than a month until he leaves to Cali. Not deployment yet. So we can Skype and such before he does which is good.
