Young Kids - Keeping in Touch

[doctorsbaby]

DD loves Skype (or Tango - I like it better than Skype).If I'm not careful, she will be video calling DH or her papa. She likes it best on my phone so she can carry it around and show them things.

Everyone in my family has an iPad, and we FaceTime a lot as we live all over. The kids both now how to open FaceTime and call people. They do it on their own on the regular.

We use skype but only with their cousins that live far away. When their friends have moved we haven't really kept in touch unless I am friends with the parents and then I will show them pics on facebook or blogs.

My kids Skype with both sets of grandparents regularly. DD (15mo) particularly enjoys "talking" to my ILs' dog. She (the dog) does fun things like wear party hats on the kids' birthdays.

Sometimes DH Skypes with the kids when he's OOT for work. It's hard with young kids though because they're not usually the greatest at carrying on a real conversation on the phone, you know? And that's with an adult on one end guiding the conversation and asking all the questions. It's worth a try though.
