Talked to Avery on the phone today. Actually, Jamie typically calls me at work in the late afternoon, when the kids start asking about "da-da". Usually they just allow Jamie to put the phone up to their ear and listen intently as daddy tries to get them to talk. Today was a little different - Avery and daddy actually carried on a conversation:
d - "Hi Avery - what does the elephant say?"
a - "eeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh" (elephant sound)
d - "Did you go check the mail?"
a - "may" (mail)
d - "Are you at home?"
a - "mome" (home)
d - "What does the dentist make you do?"
a - "aaaaaahhhhhhhh"
Really funny to be talking to Avery on the phone.
We were all sitting around one morning recently watching the Today show, when Matt Lauer was saying a phone number for some charity thing. Connor took special attention, and repeated the number to help out Matt:
one...eight hundred....five, five, five...zero.... [Connor] nye, nye, nye !!!
From then on, you can lead Connor into it with 800-555-0.... and he'll finish it for you - nye, nye, nye !!
