I have a little one leaving this week to go off on mat leave with his mom who just gave birth.

The parents seem to be building up the departure and I am sad about it too but I am not sure to what level I should go and say good bye.

I'm wondering what others have done in the past when a DCK goes off because mom had a baby. Do you throw a party? Do you give a gift?

I give a memory book to children who leave daycare after 3 years to start JK but not too sure what to do this time when it's only been 15 months.

Suggestions? Thoughts? Experiences?
