Hey'Whoah?

Lately, my kids have been fighting over trying to get to play with our cell phones!

Originally, nobody minded them playing with them, either, because our phones were soo old and archaic.

In fact, mine was soo old it was almost royally outdated and the microphone didn’t always even work right!

But, the day came when both husband’s and my phone took their last calls, and we had to order new ones.
That is why nobody wants to share the new phones with the babies, really. Both are shiny and new and actually WORK for a time!

But, while we were waiting on our new phones to come in, my sister in law gave us a few spares to use in the meantime.

Only one of them ever really was usable, so we got the idea that it would be nice to give them to the babies to play with.

The diversion worked, for a time, too! Don’t get me wrong, whenever they see my shiny pretty red phone, they always want to play with it.

But, I found that if I remember to actually charge up the extra phones, that the babies are quite happy to use them instead.

There aren’t any sim cards in those phones, so they can’t call anyone, but the buttons and the displays still light up when you press the buttons, and the phones are real.

It is soo funny to hear the kids play with them, too. Vivienne will look at you, turn her back as she puts the phone up to her ear, and say quite loudly, “Hey'Whoah?”

Kian will, often at the same time, grab the other one, run to the other side of the room so that he has less noise and can “Hear” better, and say the same thing almost in the exact same way.

Kaiden usually wants to play, too, but is content to bide his time until everyone tires of their conversations and puts the phone down somewhere to do something else.

Then he will silently swipe the phones from his siblings so that he can have all of them. He usually doesn’t even want to talk on them, though.

He prefers to take them and line them up in a pretty row with his cars.

Hopefully the diversion phones will work out for us for a time, so that our new phones will be safe to see another day!
