›› Have a Flat Daddy? Please share your story!
When I first decided we needed one of these, saw an article about the "Flat Daddies" My Husband was more excited about our girls getting a Flat Daddy than I was! But I love seeing our 9 month old give it kisses & talk to her "daddy", it's so sweet! And he is proud to know that his girlies get a "life-size" Daddy to hang around with until he gets home!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful gift to our family. Our son was four months old when Daddy left and will be just turning a year on his return. Flat Daddy has helped him learn, "Dada." He knows that's the voice he hears occasionally over the phone and computer; he knows that's the guy who reads him books on DVD every morning w/ his oatmeal; he knows who Mommy is constantly talking about! We kiss and hug it every night and every morning. It has been such a help for my husband to continue to be a part of our son's every-day life. I love having it hang in our home as a constant reminder of the days going by and how much closer we are getting to the day we are all together again as a family. It will always be in our home and will always serve as a cherished memory of a bittersweet time in our lives. Thank you all so very much. -- Carrie & Cam Cieliczka (Daddy is GMC Kyle Cieliczka)

Daddy didn't totally miss our daughter's first day of 2nd grade

We , my husband and I had a granddaugter born and living in our home while he was deployed ( 07 - 08 ) I ordered her a Flat Grandpa at 3 months of age. We talk to her papa , he went bye bye in the car with her and he received night night kisses. Julie's first word PaPa. Grandpa came home at 9 months of age. His biggest fear, that his first grandchild would be afraid of him. The meeting went like a MasterCard commercial. He came through the door , first HI , a big smile , first kiss, a big giggle and then Little Julie lean back , after months of working to get her flat papa to talk and play , he finally talked to her. Love at first sight. Picture was taken 5 minutes after meeting.
