Brrrrring, Brrrrring....Hello?

Jack is a little obsessed with telephones lately.  For the past several months he has enjoyed playing with our cell phones.  And then he got a toy cell phone from his Auntie Allee and her family for his birthday and that has just encouraged his obsession.  His toy cell phone rings, makes noise when you push the buttons, has pre-recorded messages and I was even able to record a message of my own.

My favorite part of him "talking on the phone" is when he screams Hiiiii! and then puts the phone to his ear shoulder.  He appears to answer several questions (quick, one-syllable words) and even laughs at something funny (his imaginary friend must be a hoot!).

When we have actual people on the phone, he clams up immediately.  He doesn't want to talk to real people.
