Things are definitely getting more interesting in the Meyer Household the older Avery gets. This morning I was upstairs putting lotion on Abby after her bath. I had the gate across the stairs and Avery was running around upstairs playing with various toys. I then heard the phone in my bedroom beeping like it had been left off the hook. I went to investigate and sure enough Avery had been playing with it. I put the phone back on the receiver and went about my day. We went downstairs and I got Avery her breakfast and I started nursing Abby. Then the doorbell rings. It's about 8:30am and I'm wondering who could be at the door. I figure it's probably a solicitor and go on nursing Abby. (She can be a fussy eater, so when things are going well I don't dare disturb her!) After I'm done nursing Abby I go to the door to see if whoever it was left anything on the doorstep. Imagine my surprise to see a police car sitting in the driveway!!! Apparently they had received a 911 call from our house. When they tried to call back to check on us the line was busy, so they sent an officer out to make sure we were ok. I assured the officer we were fine and that somehow my two-year-old had dialed 911. She suggested I give Avery a toy phone to play with instead of a real one. HA! Avery has several toy phones, but the real ones always win. Anyway, I think I'll be moving all my phones out of her reach.
