O man I am not looking forward to that My Daughter is almost three and Daddy is going to Korea for a year. But we had to go to family b4 he leaves well The kids and I left 2 weeks in advance and she is already asking if daddy can come home. So I thought iy would be a great idea to have daddy call her and ask for her well…Mind you this is a very smart almost three year old but she was so confused also. It makes you wonder is technology a gift or a hindrance to are little ones. Well thanks for posting this. |This will be the very first time he has to leave so I am getting prepared

I know how hard this one is. One thing we do is before he goes, he records books on video for them…and with them. We play them from the start, so they are used to that form of communication. I am definitly more excited about the dvd’s than they are. Another thing we do, is the kids pick out the books, and mail them to him, so he reads the books they pick. Hang in there! Amie

AWE! Poor baby girl. It is so difficult for children to understand the whole concept of deployment. My husband did the same reading program for our children. When he was reading he would point at the pictures in the book and talk to the camera as if it were the kids he was talking to. (kinda like the blues clues guy does) It was cute to see them talking to the TV screen. They really thought he could hear them. LOL! Hope you were able to figure out your technical “issues” Thanks for the great Post! HUGS!
