daddy at a distance

Alex headed to Illinois and then PA for business trips this week. That meant Tyler and Mommy were on their own to care for Daisy. Alex called to check in on us.

During Tyler's conversation with Alex, I put the cell phone on speaker. Tyler told Alex about some good news and Alex said how great the news was and then added, "High five!" To my amusement Tyler, holding the phone in one hand, used his other hand to slap a high five on the face of the phone.

Then as his talk with Daddy continued he put the phone on the floor. He began to sort through his basket of toys while talking. When he found his toy phone that has dead batteries, he told Alex how it was broken. Alex asked what was broken. Tyler said his phone was broken, then as if Alex could peer through the receiver Tyler held the toy up to the cell phone and said, "See!"
