well, first off i have to say i was pretty happy when i found a site like this. im hoping i can get a few answers to some questions. to start off, im in the U.S. army currently in afghanistan. i get to go home in about seven or eight weeks. i left my ex (after i found out she was cheating) about one month before i left to go to afghanistan. she hasnt been much help with letting me know how my daughter is doing, what she likes, what she doesnt like, what she needs... ect... im looking for advice about things she will need when i get home. im trying to order stuff before i get their so my little girl will be set when i get home.
my daughter is fifteen months old right now, does she need a crip still or a little girl bed? what kind of car seat do i need to get for her? what kind of toys should she be using at this age? do i need a changing table? when should i start trying to potty train her? my list goes on so ill just stop here for now.
thanks for any advice

so sorry about your ex. but i commend you for thinking about and caring so much about your daughter considering where you are and your situation. regarding the bed, why not just sleep with her. since my kid was a baby, we sleep together in our big bed until today and she is already 2years old. it's fun to enjoy every moment with your baby. for me, she is still too young to be on her own bed. for the car seats, just choose the one that is appropriate for her age, i'm sure they are all the same. for toys, choose the ones that can develop her speech or communication skills, my daughter has this toy with buttons that has all the letters and numbers in it, so when pressed, the letter or number is said aloud. potty training usually starts around 2yrs or later but this is very challenging as you need to have a lot of patience and your kid must also know how to recognize if she wants to go already. there are still a lot of things that will still come your way, just face it calmly and do not stress yourself, enjoy being a parent and not just only a dad, if you know what i mean. hope this helps!
