She was trying to get daddy’s attention to tell him “silly kitty.” In any event, I believe the confusion stemmed from me tagging this with “kids and deployments.” I apologize for the misunderstanding, but I tagged that so that other families could hopefully find this and get the idea to create similar videos for their children. And not just military families, anyone who has to leave for any amount of time. It’s so important that kids know they are loved. Thank you everyone for your interest and kind words.
