A curious toddler loves to play...especially with his mommy's smartphone!


When Mommy finds him using her phone without permission, it's the perfect teaching moment.  Mommy reminds her little one that what matters most in life is time together filled with love and attention.
Her simple reminder: Put down our phones.

INTERVIEW WITH THE CHILD, FEATURED IN 
#BABYLOVE: MY TODDLER LIFE 
By Corine Dehghanpisheh 


Q.  How old are you? 

I am three and a half.  

Q. What is your favorite thing to do during the day? 

I like to play fetch with my dog. I feed him too.  I have fun playing outside, riding my bike, and playing soccer. 

Q. What do you love most about your family? 

I love my mom and my dad and my dog.  We have lots of fun together.  We read books and play games.  Sometimes my dad takes me to the park. 

Q. Do you use your parents’ phones? 

Only when they say, it is ok.  Sometimes, I watch my shows at the restaurant.  I get into trouble if I take it when I don’t ask.  My mom gets mad at me.  

Q. Do you like it when you parents use their phones? 

It’s fun when we Facetime with Nana or Baba or Grandma and Grandpa.  We take silly pictures.  Sometimes, I get sad when they are working on their phones, and I have to wait for them to play.

After serving seventy years in prison for the murder of her sister, Eula, Della Lee has finally returned home to the Texas town of Puerto Pesar. She’s free from confinement—and ready to tell her secrets before it’s too late.

She finds a willing audience in journalist Mick Anders, who is reeling after his suspension from a Boston newspaper and in town, reluctantly, to investigate a mysterious portrait of Eula that reportedly sheds tears. He crosses paths with Dr. Paloma Vega, who’s visiting Puerto Pesar with her own mission: to take care of her ailing grandmother and to rescue her rebellious younger sister before something terrible happens. Paloma and Mick have their reasons to be in the hot, parched border town whose name translates as Port of Regret. But they don’t anticipate how their lives will be changed forever.

Moving and engrossing, this dual story alternates between Della’s dark ordeals of the 1940s and Paloma and Mick’s present-day search for answers―about roots, family, love, and what is truly important in life.
