hello, hello?

Most toddlers and infants love phones. Sophia is mesmerized by our cordless phones and spends lots of time pressing buttons and trying to phone far off places (oh the lights and sounds!). She was dumbfounded once when a West Jet employee handed her a phone receiver to play with... it had, of all things, a CORD?! She just looked and pulled, trying to get the handset away from the cord...it certainly wasn't something she had seen before! Crazy eh?

When Sophia visits her Grandparents in Vancouver, she spends time playing with the vintage chatter phone that I once played with. She drags it around and hangs the handset over her shoulder. In fact, we have a picture of David doing the exact same thing when he was her age. Too funny.

Anyway, we don't have such a toy at our house. Poor deprived Sophia. To remedy the problem, and to keep Sophia from trying to eat our cellphones (yet another toy of choice for Sophia) David gave her his old cell to play with. Now, when you say "bring, bring...hello, Sophia?" She takes the phone and holds it up to her ear. Now all we have to do is teach her to hold the speaker side to her ear instead of the back or side! :)

Is it for me? Really?

Hello? Hello, anyone there?

Oh, that's better...the reception is so clear!

Is this the number for Beijing? Raffi said something about calling Beijing? If Raffi said it, I gotta do it!
