Time Change

On Sunday I told Sven that the mornings we lighter and the evenings were darker because we changed the time. Sven said "well that's stupid". Well said! At least next year the conversion is after Halloween.

Cell Phone Culture?

Sven is growing up in the Cell Phone era. When he was about 1 1/2 years old, he would pick up Erik's old phone and would babble into the phone and would give a hearty laugh every once in awhile. We thought it was hilarious.

But now his cell phone "conversations" are getting more "real". This morning I was in the shower and I heard Sven say in a loud voice
"HELLO - HELLO ..."

I wondered who he was trying to say hello to in such a loud voice. I stopped the shower, opened the shower door and saw Sven outside the door, holding a cell phone pressed against his ear. He again said
"HELLO - HELLO!"

Then he looked the phone to check its status and then pressed the phone against his ear again and loudly continued
"HELLO - Darfa Bader?"

Since I had just finished my shower I asked Sven to hand me my towel. He looked over his shoulder at me, and said
"Jussa a minute"

Then he pressed the phone back to his ear and slowly reached over and handed me my towel, the whole time pretending to be listening to a conversation on the phone.

Then he finished the conversation by saying
"Hello Darfa Bader? I live in a new house and I have lots of toys. I like all my toys."

Froggy Sandy Cisco

This weekend we were in Froggy Sandy Cisco for a friend's wedding. Sven was the Ring Bearer and he was very handsome in his Tuxedo. He was especially proud of the bow tie and started noticing all the bow ties around, e.g. Wallace (as in Wallace and Gromit) has a bow tie.

Sven made a new friend at the wedding named Jamie, and he spent several hours dancing with Jamie during the reception and dinner. They made a very cute couple.

The day after the wedding we visited my sister's family. They have a new kitty named Charlie. As we were flying home to Seattle, we were talking to Sven about spelling his name. Sven said "S - V - E - N is Sven." Then he said "S - V - E - N is Charlie."
