Charlotte asks every day how much longer until Daddy comes home. So instead of daily trying to put it in terms she can understand we made a chain to help us count down. She had fun helping on this project, I guess I need to let her help more often. Now she doesn't have to ask how long until he is home - just when can we cut off one of the links. It was a trade. It definitely brightens up the room. The boys were a little surprised at how long the chain is, I guess for them visualization was not so great.

What a sweet idea! I wish I would have thought of that. However, Annie was only 2 for most of his absence (Mimi just an infant), so it have made no sense to her. I hope Jason is doing well.
Oh man, that's a long chain. (But you're right, it could be much worse.) Good luck being a single mom for a little while! Hope the time passes quickly.
