Sonya plans to look for a job and day care soon after she delivers their third child. She expects a job will pay for the cost of day care, but no more. Getting a job is mostly for her sanity. Fort Carson provides child care and Sonya has heard it is quite good. Post officials said there are openings in Fort Carson's day-care centers and the price is lower than commercial rates.
Plans are to increase day care during the deployment.
Sonya said her top priority during the separation will be to keep Eric alive in their children's minds. All military wives with children need to think on their feet, do what's needed to keep kids' memories of their father. Pictures and phone calls. As she prepares again to become both parents, Sonya is watching closely how Eric and their son interact, in hopes she can help fill that role. My son is just getting to the age where he wants to do what his daddy does.
