Earlier today Annie was doing what Annie does best . . . talking on the phone. She was on her cute little princess cell phone toy, and was mashing numbers then held it up to her ear and informed me, "Mom, I calling you!" So, I held my hand up to my ear and started a fairly typical phone chat with my daughter. I was sitting in the front seat of the car, she was in the back (are there laws about talking into imaginary cell phones while driving?) After a minute, she asked to speak to Daddy, so I handed him my imaginary cell phone and they pretty much repeated everything I had just said with Annie. Then, all the sudden, Annie pulled her phone away from her ear, pushed one of the buttons, then said urgently, "Oh Daddy, my phone beeped! My other line. I gotta go! Love you bye!" HA! I mocked him for awhile that his daughter had just faked another phone call to get him off the line! A few minutes later though, we heard the mashing of random phone numbers, and a little voice trilling, "Hi Daddy! You there?" Greg 'picked up' his imaginary phone and informed her he had answered. "Sorry about that, I had another call. Nobody was there." So cute. Then I got to laugh again when a few seconds later she mashed another key on her phone and said, "Oh no! My phone beeped! It dying. Gotta go! Love you, bye!"
The potty train was a bit derailed by Church today, and a family party in the afternoon, but we've still had some impressive results so far. I was getting ready this morning in my bathroom when I heard a strange sound through my blow drying. I stopped what I was doing and called, "Hey Greg, did you hear that?" He didn't. I went back to what I was doing, then hearing it again decided to go explore. I walked into the hall, to see a naked two year old standing on her giant step stool up to her bathroom sink, her clothes and nighttime diaper in a pile on the floor. I'd thought she'd been asleep. She turned and grinned at me and said, "I peed in the potty, now I washing my hands." Seriously, if it was only that easy all the time!
We had Annie wear a diaper to Church. After Church she happily went back to panties, and stayed dry almost all afternoon. We brought her toilet seat attachment to my parent's house for a party, and early on she used it great. Then she got to playing with her Uncle Cody and was having far too much to notice stuff like, oh I don't know, the fact she'd pooped her pants. Lots of clean up ensued. Later she was sweet talking my Mom, and I turn around to find my Mom giving her a cool new toy. "What's that for?" I asked. "I'm giving it to Annie 'cause she went potty at Grandma's house!" "IN HER PANTS!" I exclaimed. "Oh, that's not how she told the story."

That potty story is funny. You have one manipulative little lady there. Enjoy her teenage years! ;) Potty training really is rough, so I'm glad it's been fairly smooth sailing so far for you guys.
Also, i love it when Weston talks on the phone. He was helping me bake cookies the other day and my mom called so I was talking to her while baking and I notice that Weston has his spoon up to his ear and is having his own conversation. It was really funny. Yay for our cute kids.
Lastly, I would love to meet up at Thanksgiving Point! We just went on Saturday so we probably wont gon again until next week. I was going to give you the tip too to get the duo pass plus one child. It's cheaper than the family pass and since Ellie is still free you don't need a family pass. Email me when you want to go: waterchic83@yahoo.com
Hmm... I'm thinking maybe you are a phone person? 'Cause my kids rarely (if ever) pretend to talk on the phone... probably 'cause they rarely see me on the phone. 'Cause I'm NOT a phone person. In fact, I avoid phone calls whenever possible! ;-)
But I still think Annie's phone conversations are adorable!
