Grandma Gini got Ella a phone almost identical to the one I had has a kid-rotary dial and all. When you turn the number dial it makes a ringing noise and I say, "phone is ringing Ella who is it?" She now picks it up and holds it to her ear and says, "ooh" -which I believe is hello. For some reason the receiver cord is really short, so she basically has to pick up the whole phone to answer it. I think we will have to get a cordless phone after she masters this one and then of course we will move on to a cell phone.
(note-Ella is not really kept in a cage all day (gate in background of pics). We gate off an area of the living room that is not safe with a big gate and leave it open most of the time. She does occasionally go in the corral(closed up gates),so I can take a break from chasing her. Of course I sit in the corral with her :)
