Ethan Calls Santa

Yesterday we had a very interesting thing happen at our house. Amy was out and about when she got a phone call from work that she needed to come in. She tried to call home but it was busy. She finshed her shopping and tried to call home...again it was busy. When she came in the house she saw there was a message on the answering machine. She listened to it and realized she had to call her boss. Amy picked up the phone to call but there was no dial tone. Not questioning anything yet she made sure the downstairs phones were on the chargers and plugged in. The phone still had no dial tone. But what Amy heard was a little voice on the other end. The voice called out, "Santa...is that you?". Puzzled Amy said hello. The little voice called out again.."Mama what are you doing on the phone?". Upon further investigation it seems as if Ethan snuck out of bed during nap time and got a hold of the phone in our room and was trying to call Santa. He was hidden under our covers. We are not sure if he actually called anyone (I guess the phone bill will answer that). Ethan said he forgot to ask Santa for something.... a boat that can't float (from the land of misfit toys). It was so adorable! Kids do say the darnedest things:)
