Makin' Some Calls

Joe is all about the phone right now. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the real phone, the TV remote, the computer remote, and the flip video camera all serve double duty as phones. Less interesting, of course, are the toy phones. Um, hello? They are SO fake. The ultimate is Mommy's cell phone, which routinely has new entries added to its directory like "*1sd." Old *1sd. That guy's great. He's great about letting Mommy have a turn with her phone. Sharing is for suckers, but all the cool kids take turns. Joe likes to call his buddies, as well as his grandparents, his Aunt Kate and Uncle Scott, and his Aunt Sara. Most of the time he has to be prompted to say something after hello, but this morning, he informed Sara, all on his own, that he had made a mess ("I make a mess!"). Not really. He'd just taken all the pens out of the junk drawer. (A real mess would be the peach juice smeared all over the table last night with his napkin.)

  1. I see Joe is still working the pants-optional look!

  2. Yes, pants are often optional round these here parts, these here days. It is due, in part, to the fact that Joe has taken a shine to sitting on the potty, which perhaps bears a post of its own. Suffice it to say, the potty has not been used, but it has been sat on. The routine is: stool over, seat on, pants off, diaper off, wipe with toilet paper (repeat many times), toilet paper in the potty, sit on big potty (i.e. without seat) (optional), flush (once), put lid down gently, move stool to wash hands, to room for new diaper. Finis.
