The other day John woke up from his nap and walked in to find me talking on the phone to my stepdad Neil. After I hung up, John absconded with the portable phone and was walking around saying very clearly, "Hi Neil! How are you? Fine." Of course, he wouldn't talk like that into a phone if there were another human being on the line! I tried to capture that on video tape, but John went silent.
Later we were driving in the car and John was playing with his Winnie the Pooh phone when I heard him start saying "Hi Neil!" again. We're working on getting him to say "Grampa Neil," but so far he won't string the two together.
Grandparents' names are hard. That's why my Mom chose "Nana" for her moniker----it's much easier to say!
ReplyDeleteI bet "Neil" can't wait to visit.
ReplyDeleteJohn is so cute!
That will be heartwarming for Grandpa Neil to watch!
