My 3 year old is starting to realize something is different
He'll tell you his daddy is in iraq but does he understand what that means?
Probably not
Our breakfest conversation the other day went something like this
" This grandma and papa's house"
Yep you're right
"This not my house"
No this is not our house.
"My house FAR away"
Yep your house is far away
Sits and thinks for a moment...looks off in the distance and says,
"What we doing here?"
How do you answer that so a 3 year old understands?
He doesn't understand where his daddy is
He doesn't understand where Iraq is
He doesn't understand where his dog is
He doesn't understand why were at grandma and papa's instead of his house
This deployment stuff is pretty hard when you're 3
