Whenever Yuri and I are on the phone we always try to get Tommy to say hello. I say try as it usually ends up that we hold the phone to his ear and he listens to whatever the person on the end of the line happens to be saying.

Yuri gave him the phone today and I actually had a conversation. He kept saying "mummy, it's a car". Now I wasn't too sure what he was going on about as I was fairly sure that they were at home and it's not like you can fit many cars into our box-flat. In the end I had to cut him off because no matter how much me or Yuri told him, he wouldn't give the phone back to Yuri.

It turns out that the car he was telling me about was on the TV. Yuri and Tommy spent the day watching The Fast and the Furious and Too Fast Too Furious. Talk about constructive play.
