Tell me about Skype...

It is a great way for grandparents to see the grandkids!

We set my Mom up so she can see her two year old grandson, TJ. We set up a web cam for her and my brother has one in his laptop. Grandma and Grandson have a great time! She reads TJ stories, he shows her his toys and sings songs and they talk. It's let them have a relationship they would not have had because of the distance and let my Mom watch him grow up. TJ sometimes tells his Dad he wants to play with Grandma ......meaning to get her on Skype.

My Mom is VERY low tech and once we got it set up, she is able to do it.
