For the first time ever I had a full on phone conversation with my nephew yesterday.  It was awesome and I giggled like a school girl on the phone with a boy for the first time.

He’s not even two and a half yet but has been obsessed with the phone since birth.  This is the first time we’ve had a real conversation, with a greeting and some content (Are you going to be good tomorrow?  Yes.) and a “Buh bye JEN!  I love you.” ending.

“I love you” for the first time ever!  The glow I feel from this first couldn’t have come at a better time, because ohmyfuckinggod has he been in his terrible two stage lately.

My mom has been trying to train this child to say “Bye bye, I love you” for six months.  Being a boy he had refused, until now, to speak emotions so freely. JuJu was understandably jealous when I called her immediately afterward to rub it in.
