Parents, if you have loved ones far away you know how difficult it is to make time for them to bond with your little one. Let's face it, a phone call doesn't convey all of the love a person wants to express to a baby or toddler. Babies have only so much patience for something like a phone, with its tempting buttons. Besides, linking a face to a voice helps a little one put all that love into context.
When we moved to Montana we knew that we weren't going to see either set of grandparents for a couple of months. That's when Hubby and I decided to download Skype. I will never go back to simple phone conversations with my parents. Heck, Skype's more fun for me to engage in, let alone for MLO. Even if the novelty of sitting in front of the computer and seeing/playing with Nana and Papa has expired, I can still train the camera on the little mister while he runs around and plays. This allows me to get a chance to talk with family while they get a chance to see MLO in action.
I strongly recommend downloading Skype. It's free, it's easy and it's a lifesaver when it comes to keeping your little ones connected to family far away!
