Tommy has been through 2 (6 month long) deployments and the paperchains and "special days" seem to make it a little better with Ryan gone. We make the chain together and every few weeks I make a random day a "special day" and dont tell him what that day will be, and to get to participate in the day, he has to be good. I'll take him for ice cream, or get him a small toy, or take him to the park, small things like that, but he gets really excited for them. Luckily for me, Annella was born during the 1st deployment and she was to little to notice he wasnt there during the second, but he's leaving again in November, so now I have to worry about 2 kids missing their daddy. Also, if you can Facetime or Skype, that helps. Our families live in MN, and Tommy will Facetime Ryans parents all the time, he plays games with them and loves it, sure helps him feel connected with him. We plan to do alot more Facetimeing with Tommy and Ryan during this next deployment.<br />Cunz Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002920187496973705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643453439288801126.post-73000649755374115292013-04-05T13:09:16.303-04:002013-04-05T13:09:16.303-04:00she's a passionate princess :)
