Skylar has this really gaudy purple sparkly toy cell phone. She likes to “chat” on it quite often when we are driving somewhere, or when we are getting ready to go somewhere.
The other day we were driving to school. As we get out of the car and start collecting our stuff (eg, lunchbox, windbreaker, etc), she says, “Daddy! Wait!”
She then proceeds to climb back into the car. I’m wondering what is going on. She then reaches over to the center-console thingie next to her kid’s seat and grabs the ugly-purple flip-phone.
She opens it, pretends to dial, and after a few moments she says… “Okay, I’m here. I come in. I see you in a couple minutes, okay? I am wearing a very pretty dress today.. Yes.. Bye”
Of course, I find this incredibly cute.. I then say to Skylar, “Hey Sky-sky, who were you talking to?”
She looks at me somewhat incredulously and responds, “Dad-dy…. nobody… (if she knew how to roll her eyes, she would have done it at this point)… this is a pretend phone“…
And then she tosses her phone back into the car, closes the door and skips to the school front-door..
What a little ham…

Here’s a pic of Skylar and I down in Newport, RI.

A couple of Vids
1). After we posted a video of Fenway’s trick a month or two ago, I figured we should give Kormi some equal time. Here’s a clip of the evil-cat doing some tricks for Gina.
2). And Skylar has been getting really good with her letters lately. She doesn’t know how to spell much yet (basically just her name and a few other select words), so she often just strings together a bunch of random letters and then asks what word she just made. You know that Infinite Monkey Theorem? It states something along the lines of; Given enough time, a hypothetical chimpanzee typing at random would, as part of its output, eventually produce one of Shakespeare’s plays.
This video isn’t quite proof to that theorem, but you will get the generally idea.. 
Have a great week!
