Yes, thank you nannyde, you explained it kinda how I was feeling this morning. I don't feel like daycare is an appropriate place to discuss this and I don't feel equiped to talk to other people's children about dying, I'm not a child therapist. So I'll go with my gut feeling and nix the play dying quickly and in a short sentence like you suggested. I"ll also mention it to my parents so that they can have a talk with their children about it at home so we're all on the same page.

And then I'll keep talking to my little one about death and explore what he's wondering about the whole thing.

Thank you all for helping me talk through this.
