I still remember the last day Melina stopped by before moving to Vermont. I didn't tell DJ it would be the last time he'll see her on Mondays at 3pm. I couldn't figure it out. I mean really what do you tell a 2 year old? You know how you look forward to seeing Melina every Monday at 3pm? Well, that ain't gonna happen anymore buddy. Yup, that's it. No more, Nada, this is it.
Instead I waited until he asked about her and I chose to tell him she moved to Vermont with her Mommy. We looked on the map of where she's living now and she even sent a photo of her new puppy! I have to find the photo to post it. Ya'll know I am not a dog lover but, my goodness, this is the cutest puppy ever and besides, it's a part of Melina and we all know how much DJ loves her!

I can't imagine teaching my daughter such a difficult life lesson so early. You did a great job with the map and sharing just enough information. Kudos to you!
PS The phone works wonders for friends and relatives who are out of state.
This is a good idea. My daughter always asks about her cousin(my sister's daughter) who moved to Pittsburgh. I need to show her a map.
Your son is beautiful.
