Had two of my gorgeous nephews staying with us this week. While I was giving Logan some food, Blake, 10, saw the Albury plaque on the wall and said "Oh look, Logan was so cute". This was only the second time the plaque has been pointed out by anyone (both times its been mistaken as just one of Logans ultrasounds) and even though I was unprepared for it, I feel I dealt with it exactly how I hoped I would.
I just said to Blake and Aiden "No, thats not Logan, remember when I had a baby in my tummy before Logan, but the baby died? Well she was a little girl, and thats her. Her name is ALbury." Both of them remembered, and asked questions, told me their memories of when it happened, how it made them cry. I just let them know that it was ok to be sad and cry as it was a very sad thing to happen. They then went on with their day as normal.
It was exactly how I had hoped, not awkward, not over emotional, just a nice chat about Albury, who she is, and what she means to us.
