Telebone-- er, -phone

Hi all-- sorry for the lag in posts. We've all been sick as dogs for the past week or so!

Anyway, Boo has started using her toy telephones as phones (as opposed to remotes or calculators). We were downstairs in her playroom last week and I was reading a book while she played, and all of a sudden I heard this very animated chattering (not English, just Boo-speak, but quite effusive). I looked up and she had her phone in the crook of her neck, shoulder up and head bent down, this very pensive look on her face with eyes turned upward, and she was having a very nice chat with-- well, somebody. Herself. It was hilarious.

She's started doing that now when she picks up her phones, the whole tucked-in-neck, hands-free pose. I haven't seen her start gesturing with her hands while she talks, but that'll come.

The funniest bit was when she picked up one of Sam's bones-- one that was a little shorter and wider than his usual variety-- and without missing a beat, put it to her ear and waited for instructions from the beef-flavored filling. Hey, there are worse people she could be talking to.
