With a little imagination... almost anything can be a telephone.

So, AJ is 2 now. And I will not go on with the drama of not having a baby anymore (insert me crying here)...he is clearly a toddler now... (sob, sob) I know, I know... get on with it... the telephone story:
Andrew has the same morning breakfast routine. Pretty much never changes. Comes into the kitchen, and without fail, "banana please". Except now, he can get onto the step stool and grab the banana out of the fruit bowl. Great...need to find a new place or he will help himself to more than one a day! This morning, Andrew grabbed his banana... placed it to his ear and started talking to Papa. I laughed and he knew he got the right attention. He peeled his banana (and threw away the peel! Good boy!)


Then he proceeded to open the kitchen drawer to get himself a spoon for his oatmeal. He found a melon peeler...this became a phone, too! Throughout the day, he found many objects that could double as a phone, anything long enough to reach from his ear to his mouth. The ladder from his lego fire truck, the girls hair brush and even my spin toothbrush! It was hilarious to see him realize this...& to realize that I would giggle every time he used a new object as his telephone!
