Daddy. Daddy. Daddy.

Last night, Lexi and I took Stephen to the airport. Today, Lexi has been asking for Daddy all day. I keep explaining that we took him to the airport; that he is going to visit Baba and Lolo. (Stephen's parents - he will be with themin Seattle for 2 weeks before heading to DC.)


The conversation goes like this:

L: Daddy?
S: We took Daddy to the airport last night, remember?
L: airport
S: Right
L: Daddy?
S: He is going to visit Baba and Lolo.
L: Lolo.
S: Yes, you remember them?
L: Lolo.

A few second later.…..Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. (all in a calm tone but obviously inquiring about him)

Etc, etc.…..

Poor kid, she really doesn’t understand.

Once again - Calla does that too! During the week, she asks repeatedly about Daddy. "Daddy?" "Daddy's at work, Calla." "Work. Daddy work." 30 minutes later - same thing. Hope you both are doing well during this transition time - it's hard being solo parent!
