Skype a la Babies

I dont think that Andrew's parents got as much out of yesterday's Skype session as Tiny did. Addie was invoking her two year old right to wear no pants and say no to everything, so the extent of her interaction with her grandparents was to moon them.

Given that we let Tiny have full reign with the iPad. This resulted in a whole lot of touching noses on the screen and lots of kissing and hugging the iPad as well as holding it right up to her face in the way that kids are compelled to do that.

Skype is so valuable to us in enabling the girls to remember their grandparents on both sides because they only physically see them a few times a year. It's nice for the grandparents to see them and certainly reduces the 'send us pictures' pressure that we'd otherwise get, but primarily it's for the kids.

It's both adorable and heart breaking when Addie tries to reach through the screen to hug someone. The singing and tickling games are pretty hilarious and in short the girls get to have some of the relationship with their ancestors that they would otherwise miss because of distance.

FYI our iPad wears a kid proof case called Drop Tech iPad case by Gumdrop. It is fantastic and more than worth the $70 it cost.
