Earlier today when Mommy was in the shower, Daddy happened to call from
work. Logan answered the phone and proceeded to have a long (5 minute)
conversation with Daddy. Logan explained what he was doing and that
Mommy was in the shower. Logan initially didn't understand that Daddy
couldn't see what he was pointing to when he was explaining what he was
doing. Dad told him that he couldn't see what Logan was pointing at, at
which point Logan then explained that he was playing with his fire
trucks and was watching Muzzy (a Spanish language-learning kid's movie).
He would talk for a bit and then say "Bye, bye" and he'd put the phone
down only to pick it up again a few seconds later and continue talking.
Eventually he said his final "Bye Bye" and actually hung up the phone.
When Mommy came out to see what Logan was up to, Logan had the phone in
his hand. "Are you talking to someone?" Mommy asked (not knowing about
the phone call from Daddy). "Yes, Daddy" Logan replied. "Oh," said
Mommy (listened to the dead phone) and called Daddy. "Logan said he'd
like to talk with you," Mommy told Daddy. Daddy laughed and said "I've
just spent the last five minutes talking with him!"
Tonight Daddy was in the room with Logan playing with the castle that
Logan had borrowed from the Toy Library. Logan asked if Daddy would
play a game with him. Daddy said, "Yes let's play a game. What game
would you like to play?" Logan thought about it a moment and replied
"First, we're going to investigate a fire in the castle. Then after
that we'll drive the fire trucks to the castle. And the firemen will
put out the fire with the water hoses." Then he said, "Do you want to
play that, Daddy?" What astounded Daddy was his use of the word
'investigate' -- that and the imaginative nature of the game he devised.

Dear Master Logan,
We're glad to hear thar you're learning proper telephone manners. A fire in the castle!! What a smart little Fire Chief! Sure wish I could take out a few playthings from the library. But Maxine says no, and Hugh Hefner won't share, anyway.
Love, Unka John
