show and tell

We don't expect people to be interesting in our little cub. That was one of the reasons for this blog i.e. people can look if they are interested or ignore if they are not and we will be none the wiser. We are very lucky that Schuyler has several people who care about her as much as we do and one of them is Kim ("Chim!"). A skype call with a 22 month old is not much of a conversation. It's more of a fight to keep her from (a) closing the laptop (b) pressing every button on the key board with special emphasis on ones with lights such as the power button or (c) pouring various liquids onto the computer in a vain attempt to "feed" the person on the screen. But Schuyler's grandparents are mostly very tolerant to skype for a good 5-10 minutes with our noisy, capricious little bear. Kim is particularly good at finding ways to play with her when they are half a world away. Schuyler will offer things to Kim and Kim will pretend to take them causing squeals of delight from the younger of the two girls (and occasionally both of them). In the first screen, Schuyler is offering Kim the shirt her doll was wearing - giving her the shirt off someone else's back. We'll have to work on that.
