The Phone Rings Yesterday....

and I pick up, only to hear:

"Hi Nana! You and B are coming to see me in a WEEK!"

I got a chance to talk with the little man on Sunday. He gave me a call and we chatted a bit about his nap:

"I just got up from my nap. I was sleepy but mommy came in and woke me up. Now I'm going to have some me-ilk."

We also talked a bit about his friends:

"Can Caroline talk to me on the phone yet?" (she is 15 months old and just starting to say words).

We discussed plans for when we visit:

"We can take a ride on the commuter rail. It's purple!"

He also "showed" me some of his trains while on the phone:

"This is the diesel from Nana. You got it for me. That was quite a while ago!"

And, being ever the courteous one, from time to time I would hear:

"Nana, are you still der?"

9 more days!
