Today the rain fell down and the wind got up, so I spent it making good headway on Emil Zola’s “Nana”.
For any other child of her age, if it is a small black oblong device, it will be a magnet. So it is with Becky’s mobile phone carried about by Ellie late this afternoon.
I rang the number and, photographed by Jackie, entered into conversation, her granddaughter being assisted by Becky. Click on any image in either of the two pairs above to enlarge in the gallery.
This evening we all dined on Ashley’s crisp fish and chips; mushy peas; and curry sauce; Lidl pickled sliced gherkins, and Garner’s pickled onions with which Jackie drank Hoegaarden and I finished the Languedoc- Roussillon.
Adorable pictures. Ellie does seem to have the concept down very well. Was it an extended conversation and understood by both parties?
All I could understand was her hello. Thanks very much, Pat
Aww, Ellie is so adorable, Derrick! I like your living room, it looks very warm and cozy. Fish and Chips – yes, please! So good. ☺️???????????? It’s been raining here for three days now, my neighbor and I want this to go away, we need our sunshine! ????????
Thanks very much, John. As you say, your rain is unusual
You are welcome!
So sweet! I’ll bet little Ellie had plenty to say.
Thank you so much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
The magic of spending time with a child like Ellie is that everything is magical! I wondered if the peas were mushy on purpose, so I looked it up and found recipes. I guess it’s like mashed potatoes but with peas.
It is. Thanks very much, JoAnna
Delightful! “Goofy” agrees the photos are adorable. 🙂
Thanks very much to you both
Looks like a great rainy day.
Thanks very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Ellie is showing signs of things to come Derrick
Thanks very much, Ivor 🙂
“Adorable’ seems to be Ellie’s middle name. She is beyond cute!
Thank you so much, Dolly
How fast they grow up! She’s standing securely on her own now.
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
Train Ellie well so by her third birthday you have an in-house technical support assistant! (She’s so cute with that phone in her hand!)
Thank you very much, Doug
That’s beautiful. Ellie is adorable.
Thank you so much, Chrissy
This must have been a fun interlude 🙂
Thank you very much, Anne
Awww, absolutely adorable!
Thank you so much, Donna
Aw and Ha! So sweet! So fun! It’s amazing how quickly little ones figure out phones!
I can’t even imagine where technology, computers, and phones, and their capabilities, will be when Ellie is an adult.
The advancements and changes in our lifetime have been unbelievable. From a clunky rotary phone “tied” to the wall with a cord to “computers” we carry in our pockets and purses. (shocked face!)
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So very true, Carolyn. Thank you very much X
I think she’s the youngest child I’ve ever seen walking around with a phone like that.
Me, too. Thanks very much, John
Ellie is always adorable!
Haha, seems like she enjoyed the phone conversation.????
That is cute, Derrick!
Oh, fun! My daughter’s, when they were young, had a similar fascination with phones, but back then they were a very different shape.
Thanks very much, Laurie
Kids imitate adults. Such sweet photos
Thank you very much, Sheree
Aww, too cute! Ellie is adorable!
Thank you very much, Eugi
Most welcome, Derrick.
I am positive the conversation was heartfelt!
Thank you very much, Dale
So cute, Derrick! Talking with little ones on the phone is always amusing 🙂
Thank you very much, Barbara
Aww.. lovely cute photos 🙂 xx
Thanks very much, Sue XX
Love the picture. So sweet in a nice and comfy home…
Our granddaughter, now 4, grabs her mother’s phone and puts it up close to her mother’s face for Face ID… ????
🙂 Amazing what they are growing up with. Mind you, Ellie would not have known watches had she not started life with us.
I can imagine. Daughter #2 doesn’t use a watch. Ever. She has her phone.
It does seem like yesterday that Ellie was born. Such an inquisitive child and growing fast!
Indeed. Thanks very much, Lavinia
So cute!
Thanks very much, Lindsey
The perfect phone call
Thank you very much, Gary
Clever. I’m grinning ear to ear.
Thank you very much, Alys 🙂
Child’s play. 🙂
Indeed. The trouble is she is puzzled that her toy one doesn’t do the same. Thanks very much, ootlepedal
I would love to have been there to help you finish that Languedoc- Roussillon, and to watch Ellie play with the phone. What a cutie she is!! I loved these pictures… felt like I was back in the living room with you! Hugs to you & Jackie <3
Thank you so much from us both, Jan XX
I see you all have fun! So adorable!
Thank you very much, Riba
Very sweet photos of you all!
Thank you very much, Ed
How lucky you all and Ellie are to have each other. I love the clock and want one just like it!!
Thank you very much, Judy. I hope you find one
I knew someone who had one once. I loved it.
