Talking with our Family Overseas

We had a very nice video chat today with the grandparents from Romania, the kids in a very good mood! It ended up with tears from Jonathan when we had to hang up, who was crying "bunicuuu"(- grandpa; but I am sure he meant both of them), but we already kept them until after midnight there. Grandpa showed Emily an American flag, which she recognized, and even told him that "it has 50 stars". We talked about the cousins Tudor (who had just been there), and Alex and Raul. Oh, how much we miss them all. And every time grandpa would go farther from the webcam, she would call him back: "Closer!" or "I want to see you" , so both of them had to stay there close, so that Emily could see them all the time.

A couple of days ago we talked with auntie Joyce, who is in Alaska, and you should just see Emily how she was talking, holding the phone and walking around the house. She loved to tell her what she was doing, to tell her about her toys, about Jonathan etc. We have to make a video call some time too, the kids love it. And by the way, what about a baby sitting from the distance some time too , with grandparents or aunties :-))

Astazi am vorbit si ne-am vazut cu bunicii din Romania, si cu copiii intr-o dispozitie buna, asta conteaza! S-a terminat cu lacrimi din partea lui Jonathan, care plangea dupa ce am inchis "bunicuuu" (sunt sigura ca se referea la amandoi). Dar deja ii tinusem pana dupa miezul noptii, asa ca a trebuit sa ii lasam sa se duca la culcare. Am vorbit despre verisorii Tudor (care tocmai fusese pe la ei), Alex si Raul. Ce mult ne e dor de ei!!! Bunicu le-a aratat niste jucarii, si steagul american, la care Emily imediat i-a informat ca are 50 de stele (eu nu imi amintesc sa ii fi zis asta, nu stiu de unde stie). De fiecare data cand bunicu se departa sau disparea din ecran, Emily ii spunea sa vina mai aproape, sau ca vrea sa-l vada, asa ca amandoi bunicii a trebuit sa stea aproape de webcam, ca Emily sa ii vada de aproape.

Acum doua zile am vorbit la telefon cu auntie Joyce. Sa o fi vazut pe Emily cum vorbea si cum tinea telefonul, plimbandu-se prin casa, si "aratandu-i" jucariile ei, sau spunandu-i despre Jonathan. Trebuie sa vorbim si pe skype alta data si sa ne vedem. Sau ce ziceti, bunici si matusi, de "babysitting" de la distanta? :-))
