Don't Call Us or We'll Call You

This morning Joe and I woke up before 7 AM to the sound of Joey's voice talking to someone on the phone. He had called his Grandparents to see if they had left yet. They are coming to spend the weekend with us. Joey knows both his Grandparent's long distance phone numbers and how to dial them all by himself. He loves to call them and leave messages for them. It seems like the record for him is about 10 phone calls to the same Grandparent in the same day. Thank goodness for flat rate long distance!

I also got a report from my sister Laura that her phone rang this AM at 7:20AM. Both Joe and I were up, but didn't hear Joey call her. He found her number on caller ID and dialed it long distance. Caller ID actually said "Sam" so that is who he thought he was calling -- most likely to chat about Wii Football. Laura was a good sport to humor him.

We made a rule a few months ago that he couldn't call anyone until the sun came up. Well I guess that rule is not a good one anymore since the sun comes up so early. We'll have to come up with a new one.

Anyway, if you need someone to call Joey is always available and again BEWARE if you call us Joey can read your name and number on caller ID and may give YOU a call -- hopefully you will be awake!

I was going to say something quite clever about my beehive who called at 6:30 AM! with a random question about the activity we were having that night... but your technical difficulty through off my rythm... you'll just have to imagine....I was really happy about it. As I would be if I got a pre-dawn phone call from one of my favorite nephews:)

Wow!! Ashton is so not into the phone. He doesn't answer and doesn't talk. And he barely knows his own phone number. Impressive Joey (and a little scary)!!

It made my day!

Okay that is funny. I'm sure Grandma and Grandpa are good sports and it looks like Laura must be his favorite aunt!
