Before Leila was born we bought ourselves a tablet pc and this proved an excellent buy as it meant we could easily video Skype with home without clogging up the main PC and being able to roam around the flat. Leila has always been fascinated by this device that talks to her and of the people who live in the 'box' which was funny at first, but now she is able to grab (and move!) it has been proving very difficult to have a successful Skype with home - we just spend all the time moving the Gadget (as we fondly call it) out of her reach, or endlessly turning it round so that folks get a glimps of her before she rushes to another part of the room.
Recently we decided to change our strategy and found our old webcam (a Grand Mall special from our first year here!) and set this up above the big telly with my old laptop hooked into the TV for a screen. It worked a treat with Leila now transfixed in front of the TV and everyone being able to get a much better view of her comings and goings. Having established that this new set up was working we decided to invest in a new webcam which is working well (although its autofocus is not totally compatible with our toddler!)
Here are a few pics of the new set up:
