On Thursday I had to head in to the office for work. Mike and Julie opted to stay home this time, so it was the first time in a while that I made the trip in without them. Anyway, when I was almost at work I gave Julie a call to reassure her that I hadn't crashed and burned on the way in. She handed the phone to Mike so I could say hi. Usually Mike likes getting the phone when people want to talk to him, but he just stares at it, maybe saying just a word or two here and there. So I didn't expect much. I asked him how he was and got a muffled grunt in reply. I asked if he was being good for mommy and got a quick "uh huh". Then I heard the TV on in the background, so I asked him what he was watching. That was all it took. Now I was talking about something he wanted to talk about! I heard all about "Super Why", and "Sid, the Science Kid" (two great shows on PBS). He told me all about what he was watching, what the characters were doing, what show was on next, everything. Then he told me about the garbage truck that went by the house and how Moxie was barking at it. The kid was talking non-stop! I loved it! My first phone conversation with Mike!
