I dont know if anyone else has this problem but it's a big one here. Everytime I get on the phone Sean interrupts me a million times. So I came up with a solution that seems to be working pretty well at this point. I bought a little decorated notepad at the dollar store and when he comes to talk to me while Im on the phone I hand him a piece of paper from the pad. Since he cant spell yet I have him draw me a picture of what it is that he wants to talk to me about. That way when I get off the phone he hasnt forgotten what he wanted to tell me. So far so good-hope the novelty doesnt wear off too soon!

As soon as the phone rings, Tiff comes running to see if it is for her. If not, then it is the endless who is it, when are you getting off the phone. And trust me, I am not one to be on the phone all the time, so when I do want to chat, it is annoying. Not sure if it would work for Tiff. I think she just wants to be included and know what is going on.

Just like Unicorn's daughter my niece is the same way! I'll bet dollars to donuts (why do I use these corny sayings, LOL) my neice will be dumbfounded to write what she wants to ask most of the time. Mainly because she will probably see in black and white what she has to ask is not all that important. I think she is old enough that she would "get it".
For the younger ones that would be rather time consuming for them to draw or even write what they want to ask. I'm liking that idea very much. VERY [image] KATIEKAT!!!
