Phone Nazi

Jackson has an interesting "Lovey". Different from most kids' blankies or stuffed animals. Jackson loves the....Phone.

Since Jackson was just a few months old, he has known about the phone. His Daddy has been away often in Jackson's short life, and the only way for them to stay connected was by using the phone. I would hold the phone to Jackson's ear and let him hear his Dad's voice. And for a long time, that's all he knew about the phone, was that it was his Daddy. Whenever the phone would ring, or he would see the phone, he would say...Dada. Now that we are home, he gets to see his dad a lot more often then he did before.

But now there is a new person at the end of the phone line. His Nana. So his love affair with the phone is far from over. Jackson will carry the phone around with him all day. In fact we let him play with the old house phone, so that he wont use the current house phone to dial strange numbers. For some reason he knows the difference. He wants the phone that I use. He will bring it to me and say...Nana. So I will call her so that he can babble into the phone and listen to her voice with the phone pressed against his ear. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

He also gets very upset when we hang up. He will cry and hold the phone to his face. He thinks the phones are his. He gets upset when I take one from him and use it, even though he has 3 more to play with. He must have the phone within his sight at all times it seems. He wants to play with all of them at the same time, he loves my cell phone as well because he gets to talk to Daddy at work on my cell phone. He holds all of "his" phones on his lap and one at a time will press buttons and hold it up to his face.

I know that all kids have their attachments, but this one just makes me laugh. It's not the only thing that he likes, it's just the thing he like most at the moment. It comforts him for some reason. And since it's so silly, I thought I'd share it with you.
