An Early Morning Call

The phone rang this morning at 7:30, it's my mother. My Sister-In-Law has gone into labor. My niece will be born sometime today. I hear my 2 1/2 year old nephew laughing in the background.

My mom prompts my nephew, "Can you say, 'Hi Uncle Ty.'?"

My nephew screams, "Hi Umba Ty."

"Can you say, 'Baby'll be here soon'?"

"Babee swoon!"

"Can you say, 'Savannah'?" (My Niece's name to be.)

My Nephew shrieks, "Santa!!"

My Mom corrects her grandson, "No, not Santa! Savannah."

"Santa! Santa! Santa! Santa!"

She promises to keep me updated. I hang up the phone and go back to bed with visions of sugarplums dancing in my head.
