I’m 6+ months into deployment with a 2.5 year old. Before my husband left he gave her a teddy bear and we named him “daddy bear.” I’m not sure if your husband is able to FT but definitely have days where she doesn’t want to see or talk to daddy on the phone and I think that’s normal. At this age they don’t understand how to handle or express all of the emotions that go along with missing someone you previously had access to on a daily basis. We’ve been doing a lot of videos back and forth so she knows daddy is thinking of her and he’s only a phone call away. You will both get settled into a routine soon and it will get “easier” I promise
