We also just show each other our phones when we want the other person to read something (usually because it's inappropriate and funny) which has led to the baby stealing our phones and holding the screen up to people's faces while fake-laughing wildly. :)RobynHTVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491681502102208047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-15522405871027953392012-08-27T05:10:52.582-07:002012-08-27T05:10:52.582-07:00The phone thing is so great!

There were no phones in the rooms and definitely no cell phones so someone monitored the main line and buzzed the rooms if calls came in. I love my cell phone!
