to have to face deployment and have little kids- the Sesame Street video, hosted by Cuba Gooding, Jr. is fantastic. Matt- it's too bad this wasn't out while Gretchen was gone.
Elmo's daddy has to go away to "help people" but they trade items that are meaningful and Elmo's mommy has a calendar that they X off the days- etc. Interspersed in the the storyline they interview members of the miliitary and their families about how those families coped when mom or dad was gone.
It was very, very well done and is available through http://www.militaryonesource.com but should the occasion occur for anyone else, I'll happily send ours along.

PS- Rick can't watch the dvd and I cried the whole way through the first time we watched it but it's good. and realistic.
