In case you haven't heard of a Flat Daddy, I'm happy to tell you what it is. Hell, I would never have heard of or owned one if Chris wasn't deployed so why would you know? They are a poster of your soldier made to help children stay connected to their parent while they are away. I was fortunate to get a voucher from The American Red Cross and order a Flat Daddy for the girls. He arrived last Friday and I will pick up a foam board this weekend so I can adhere the picture to the foam board (pictures to follow). I've read stories of families taking Flat Daddy with them in the car, on vacation etc but our Flat Daddy will hang out in the kitchen. That's where we are a lot so why not enjoy him there as well.
When I took it out of the tube Kennedy took a good look and said "Does it talk?". I'm sure Chris is thrilled to know she called him an it but she's right; 'it' isn't real but 'it' sure looks real!
