Only Few Minutes to Myself

Every time the phone rings my son will always race ahead of me to pick it up. He won't try to answer it though or push any buttons, but hand the phone to me instead. In the middle of my phone conversation though, he will repeatedly say "bye-bye' complete with waving of his hand, as if giving me a cue to hang up already and attend to him again. He used to say anything I tell him to say on the phone, like to say hello to my friend on the other end. But now if I ask him to say hello, he will say bye-bye instead, how funny. My son doesn't like me to be on the phone, he wants me all to himself. He wants interaction all the time. Today, we went out for a walk just before noon time, and I let him run around, blow bubbles and ride his bike. Few minutes of being alone to myself felt really good.
