Daddy and Isabella - Long Distance Conversation

FOUR weeks ago, Mommy and Isabella dropped Daddy off at the Vancouver Airport to catch a flight to Colombia. It was quite exciting for Isabella and we explained to her that Daddy has to take the airplane to go to work. Here is an excerpt taken from a blog at Isabella's Preschool:

WHO IS MOMMY ACTIVITY:
by Miss Jannel

At circle, one of the children just randomly exclaimed, “MOMMY, DADDY!” so I decided to ask them about their mommies and daddies and what they thought they were doing while we were at school singing songs and having dance parties. Needless to say, they had some interesting and humourous answers.

Miss Jannel- Who is mommy?

No response.

Miss Jannel- Who has a mommy?

Ka- I do! (first and only to answer)

Miss Jannel- Isabella, do you have a mommy?

Isabella- My mommy home, my daddy working… he on airplane

Ed- I have a mommy

Miss Jannel- Who is your mommy?

Ed- um Jo (gives mom’s first name)

Miss Jannel- What does your mommy do?

Ed- my mommy works at the church

Miss Jannel- What does she do at the church

Ed- She talks

The conversation ended here and then two days later…

Lo- Mommy and daddy home

Ka- Daddy is at work

Ed- They’re driving in traffic, my mommy is at church and my daddy is at home, probably cleaning

Ry- My mommy and daddy are at home playing on the couch

The children pay close attention to the ones they love most and we can see this displayed in the considerable knowledge they have of where their parents are during the day.
