Recently I’ve been having more and more days where I find myself missing the ability to see my family. It’s hard on me that they cannot see Matthew (or me) anytime they’d like. Because of this my sister and I decided to set up dates on Skype. For anyone who doesn’t know, with Skype you can video chat with anyone else who downloads Skype (free!). It was so nice to be able to see her when we talked. And (!) she got to see Matty and Matty could see her. He loves watching the screen when we Skype! Soon after that I bought my Mom a webcam so that we too could video chat. Once I talked her through installing it on her computer (tricky when we’re states apart) we tried it out. My Grandma even joined in. It was so wonderful. Next my Dad downloaded Skype. Now I can talk to and see my family anytime. It has done wonders for my longing to see everyone. Matty loves when we video chat and will lean in and try to touch the screen. He’ll talk and play and now my family has more of a chance to see it. I’m so thankful for this technology!
Sleeping after a busy evening of Skype dates!
