We made a book for her that had picutres of her and daddy and other important people in her life - we laminated that for her and she kept it with her. She called daddy on the play phone to "talk" to him. Lots of things - but bottom line was, until I ignored the crying, it didn't stop. I gave her a quiet place for her to sit and "cry a bucket". First time I did that, she cried for MAYBE 8 minutes. Then the next a few minutes shorter and same for the 3rd day. The fourth day, she didn't bother crying. She just hung out and played with us. Sometimes, you just have to have a good cry and sometimes you don't. Name: Email: Subject
