Phone Chats

We called home multiple times from Vegas to check on Ana. The calls had varying degrees of success - sometimes she wanted to chat, other times she was too busy playing with Nana.

My favorite call came during one of our training sessions - I was trying to talk softly from the corner of the room. Of course, Ana wanted to know why I was whispering so I explained that the teacher was talking and I was trying to be quiet. Wrong thing to say because Ana then insisted on talking to the teacher.

Channeling my inner Mary Poppins I said, "Oh, hello dear! Are you Anastasia? Are you having a nice time with your Nana?"

My girl is no fool. "Mommy, you are just pretending. I can't talk to you right now, you are too silly. Goodbye."

Hmmm... an actress I apparently am not.
