Elizabeth's Phone Call

Elizabeth got a new play phone* and today on the way home from school had a fake conversation with her new friend** Colby.

It went something like this:

Oh Hi Colby.

Sure. Yeah. I'm almost home. Uh huh. Sure.

Well, there is play house. And an exercise tree. And a ladder swing that fell down.

Miranda...I'm on the phone!

Hold on....I was just interrupted by Miranda.

Yeah. Um...That's funny. Well....I think so. Not sure. Uh huh.

Ok, well bye bye.


*In addition to stuffing Miranda's face with food to help her poop, we have been giving her a present if she poops each day. We aren't sure what is working the food or the presents, but she has pooped every day for 5 days which is unprecedented. The first two days, the presents were surprises and I got her these barbie dolls of sorts. Then she picked out the next two which were, again, barbie dolls of sorts. Elizabeth started to get pretty upset that Miranda kept getting dolls so she told Michael she wanted one. Michael said she could use her poker chips (our incentive system) to get one. So when I took her, she picked a stupid princess cell phone.

** The girls wore princess dresses to school today. Another girl was also wearing one. A girl they never talk about or talk to. But today after school, Elizabeth said "I made a new friend at school today! Her name is Colby! Can I have a playdate with her today!"
