We love Skype!! We love Megan and Stacy!! We love talking to our son!! Saturday morning we were finally able to Skype with Noah with the whole family present! As you can see in this first photo he looks a little confused. This skype stuff is hard for a kid to understand. He was quiet and not too smiley. However, once they gave him a telephone, he put it up to his ear and began to talk up a storm and as you can see was quite happy. It was so funny! He wouldn't talk to us without the phone to his ear. We were cracking up!
He and Mia had the same conversation about 4 times. It went a little something like this....
Mia: "Alo, Noah!"
Noah: "Alo!"
Mia: "Koman ou ye?" (How are you?)
Noah: "Byen!" (Well)
Mia: "W'ap vin lakay mwen?" (You coming to my house?)
Noah: "Wi!" (Yes!)
Mia: "Mwen sonje ou, Noah, anpil, anpil!" (I miss you, Noah, very much!)
Noah: "Mwen sonje ou tou!" (I miss you too!)
Then Hope adds in English with beautiful expression, "Noah, I miss you so much!"
The other kids knew he didn't speak English so they just watched and listened and enjoyed seeing their brother talk on the phone. ; ) He also played with a camera for a while and looked amazed that I had three cameras. ; ) So Megan and Stacy suggested we get him a phone, camera, and a big wheel. We've made a list, and as many of you know that list includes cheese puffs!! ; )

Oh my! The holding the phone to talk part is the best thing ever! How cute!
I wondered why Megan handed Ellie a phone when we were skyping with her! Too funny!!!
I bet it just was athrill to see and talk toy our son aagin!
I can't wait till he is home! We have a BIG container of cheese puffs for the airport! :)
when we discovered with Noah that he talked more if he was holding a phone, we tried the trick on a few other kids that were being shy. it seemed to work for the most part. :)
