Anyone else's toddler love to talk on the phone?

My 2-year-old loves the phone. ?Every time anyone calls, she runs over asking if she can talk. ?Yesterday, she practically had a meltdown because I wouldn't let her talk to the mechanic on the phone. ?We've developed somewhat of a daily ritual of her calling my mom on my cell and chatting away for over half an hour (I just put it on speakerphone and she carries it around the house with her - thank goodness for free mobile-to-mobile). ?This is so funny to me, because I have NEVER enjoyed talking on the phone in my entire life, DH and my mom being the only exceptions. ?DH, on the other hand, loves the phone and is constantly talking. ?She must have gotten it from him.

  • same story here, different toddler.  she cries if I'm on the cell and hang up[ before giving it to her.  sometimes if i'm in the back and my cell rings, if she can get it, she'll push any button, and I never know anyone called.  she walks around with the home phone or the remotes to her ear, saying yeyo (hello).  That's a new thing this week.  She has 3-4 toy phones, but they aren't good enough
  • DS loves the phone too. He took it last night at the dinner table and had a whole conversation on it, starting with hi, jabbering, pointing at me and saying, "Momma" while describing something in jibberish and saying bye and putting it back on the table. It was so cute!

  • Um, yeah.  My DS asks if he can call the weatherman and then he'll shout out "It's 48!  Chance of rain!"  It's hilarious.

    And when I'm on the phone with an actual person, he'll say "can I say Hi?" over and over until I hand him the phone.
