The little ones are surprisingly perceptive, and often respond to situations they sense, even if it’s something they haven’t actually heard about.

My youngest (he’s 4) has taken to giving me random hugs and kisses throughout the day, lately. Sometimes he just comes and curls up on my lap, and puts his head on my shoulder like he used to, when he was truly a baby. He knows I’m agitated even though I do my best to function normally. I’m heading into another treatment cycle for my (highly treatable, but still a pain in the neck) cancer, and the scheduling is taking forever. All the affection he showers on me comforts the both of us.

It is remarkable how attuned to us they are, isn’t it?

Don’t worry about her remembering things. At her age she’ll be picking up something’s not right but that will be replaced by a new normality.

Like others, I find myself saddened and worried for you. Will you and Tadpole have enough money to live separately from Monsieur Frog (or Mr. Toad, as I now think of him)? For better or worse, once you have a child with someone you are connected forever. I hope les grands-parents behave lovingly toward the mother of their petite-fille.

My eyes are welling.. makes it difficult to type.. It is very sad to hear of the break up of your family. I’ve been reading you for so long I feel part of your world. I hope you find what you’re searching for best wishes and luck to you, Mr Frog and Miss Tadpole.

Amazing that your daughter has such empathy at her age.
I’m sure you are right that she is picking up on the family vibe. How sad, yet children are also resilient too. I suspect your feelings are very mixed right now.
All the best.

Ah, that Tadpole…what a sweetie.
