Because he’s whining for updates:

How else will I find out what new words my son is saying? Yeah, like the guy in the fancy office is going to use a phone like a sucker. Come on!
Ok then, you whiny bastard!
Since we’ve been at Grammy and Grandpa’s house with Emalee and Ethan, L has mastered a few very important words: mine and no.
He had a rudimentary understanding of these words on Saturday, but his use has increased at least three-fold since Sunday - within the first three hours of our arrival. Naturally, one would wonder what brought on the language explosion.
Hmmmm. Heather and I managed, yet again, not to get in a fight during the visit. Grammy and Grandpa were more than civil to one another. And Ethan doesn’t talk. It would seem then, that a certain three-year old is the only other possibility.
That said, through a series of very structured experiments, we have determined that it is very difficult to be three-and-a-half with a cousin who is 20 months and wants to have everything you have - and doesn’t. know. how. to. share.
It’s been a rough few days for miss Em. On the upside though, I am fairly certain that she would make an excellent educator, should she choose that route later in life, of course.
