my mil and fil are skyping with my kid.

[Deleted]

and my mil keeps asking L questions.  and then, because L is acting all silly and shy and taking awhile to answer, my fil keeps answering them for her.  wrong.  it's cracking me UP.

when my parents skype with L, different hilarity ensues because my dad always forgets his hearing aid and can't hear her, so it's like my mom is translating everything.

lol. I can imagine.
Too cute. And it's got to be esp nice now that she can converse w/ them a bit. (usually)


We skype a lot w/ australia.
Trying to get some high speed internet for my parents (they're still on dial up omg) but no one wants to run service to their house for less than a few thousand dollars. My brother (IT guy, officially, for a large company) has been on the case and thought we finally found a solution. Got all the needed equipment and hooked them up (went w/ mobile device) and STILL they get it dropped constantly at their house.

SUcks.

But anyway, I skype w/ MIL and FIL a lot when dh is gone, and luckily they enjoy watching her. I have to interpret a lot and follow her with computer b/c she's always on the go, but at least they're pretty content watching her and I don't have to talk *too* much. It's best when dh is home and I can sneak off to load the dishwasher or something in peace. I tried sneaking off to bed early one time, but kiddo caught me and said "NIGHT NIGHT" to her grandparents and followed me up the stairs. So then my early bed turned into bath and bed w/ kid. (dh did some, but still...)

Similar thing happens at our house. It's embarrassing how C will pretty much run away and then K is standing there waving hello and saying hi.

We skype every week and I feel like maybe we should cut back to a couple times a month.
