I Just Called

Carter has always been obsessed with the phone. He loves to play with the one in our bedroom every weekend morning. He thinks the operator's voice is mine. From early on he has pretended any block, spoon, or even car is a phone. The past few weeks he has been talking more into the "phones". Instead of just hi or good bye he talks gibberish.. Whenever Oma calls Carter tries to talk to her. However he usually gets "hi" out and then proceeds to try to look at the phone instead of talking.

Last night I was on the phone with Justin. Carter was insisting to talk to daddy. I handed him the phone. First was a "Hi Daddy!". Justin asked him a few yes or no questions "(he listening to mommy, was he making good choices) all of which Carter answered yes to. Justin then asked him what he was doing. Carter answers "playing with puzzles. Sesame Street puzzles, Tyler do Car puzzle". He then answered yes or no to Justin some more and then with my prompting he said "Bye Daddy!".

Maybe this is normal for a 23 month old, but it blew the pants off Justin and I. Tyler has only started talking on the phone more in the past few months. Carter sure is a chatterbox.
