I’ve been really busy at work for the past few weeks, and I haven’t been making it home in time to see the kids before they go to sleep. I usually call to tell Agnes when I’m starting on my way home, and sometimes Agnes will give the phone to Miranda or Eleanor so I can say “hi”. It usually goes like this:
“Hi Miranda!”
Miranda whips her head around to stare at the telephone.
“Hi Miranda!”
Miranda continues to stare at the telephone.
Anyway, this week Miranda seemed to finally figure out that I was somehow talking to her through the telephone. She said, in her small voice, “hi” and started waving.
