My 2 1/2 year old placed his first telephone call today.

Mid-morning he broke away from the baby sitter long enough to get a hold of her telephone and succcesfully manipulate the redial and (As luck would have it) placed a call to his mother's cell phone. As I understand it the call went something like this:

Wife: "Hello?"
Child: "Hello?"
Child: "Hi, mommy!"
Wife: "Hi, child! How are you?"
Child: "I good anyou?"
Wife: "I'm good too, thank you very much!"
Child: "youwelcome!"

The conversation went on to include recitation of name, singing of "Row, row, your boat" and other assorted automated exchanges that we practice.

I don't know when I started using the telephone but I'm pretty sure it was sometime after I turned three.

By the way this is my first post using our new laptop. Now we are mobile!
