This morning, after talking to my sister on the phone, I turned off the phone, laid the phone on the couch and went down the hall to the laundry room. After switching the wash over to the dryer and then as I was refilling the washing machine, I heard Lochlan start to cry. Going back into my front room, poor Lochlan was sprawled on the floor with the phone clutched in one hand.
A little backstory. This boy is obsessed with the phone! He likes to push buttons and he also likes it when I'm talking to Reed and I hold the phone up to his ear and let him talk to his Daddy.
So back to today. I scoop him up, notice the phone is on so I turn it off and then proceed to clean him up. Poor guy hit his gums on the phone when he fell, he had been walking, so I wiped him and his bloody mouth up.
The phone rings, just a few seconds after I begin to clean Lochlan up and it's my sister again. She informs me that she had been on the phone and the phone was turned on, when Lochlan started pushing buttons. She told me that when he started pushing buttons on the phone, at first, she told him "No no! Don't push buttons!" and then prompted him to "Go bring the phone to your Mommy."
I can collaborate that that is exactly what he WAS doing when he fell! He had been walking from the couch all the way to the hallway (where I was) with that phone. Ha ha ha!!!!
After my sister explained the situation to me, and I told her he did bring the phone to me (in his way), she said "Let me talk to him!" so I put the phone back to his ear. I could hear as she told him "Good job! You brought the phone to Mommy, Lochlan!". I could see the way he listened and the expression in his eyes, he understood and felt really happy about being praised. Oh my little guy, what a good helper he was trying to be. I had to record this because it just makes me giggle and makes my heart really tender toward his sweet little spirit.
