Playing telephone
Raina has become telephone savvy. Each afternoon, she is given the responsibility to call daddy. She dials his cell, talks with him, hangs up, and puts the phone away. Then she memorized his number, and suddenly mom wasn't needed in the process at all. It's great, and she's so proud of herself.
She had not answered the phone before, though, so she tried it out a few days ago. The phone rings, she picks it up, says hello, the male voice on the other end says "Hi, Raina!", and Raina says "Hi, Emily!" She then proceeded to thank Emily (really John K.) for her birthday present, while her parents howled with laughter.
Not quite a success, so we tried again. Raina got a phone call on her birthday from Tina. Tina talks to Raina and wishes her a happy birthday, Raina says something and then declares "I'm done talking" and hangs up the phone. Oops again. It's clear we have some telephone etiquette to teach!

Hopefully the next time Raina talks to me on the phone, I'll be on the other end of the line!
