The first skype chat with the UK

Kai's grandparents Linda and Frank have got a web cam and they tried it out today to see Kai at 8 pm, China time.

We rushed to finish our dinner, and got the laptop out. Kai was excited to see the laptop, as always, and started to bang the highchair tray. No, it's not for you to use yet - Jonathan had to emphasize it again. It was also the first time for Jonathan and me to use Skype. The sound was OK, but too quiet, so Jonathan used a headset, and the video quality was not as high quality as I was anticipating either. Lips and voice were not synced. Motion was not full and fluid. Kai was curiously watching us playing with the laptop and urged us to get him out of the highchair in his own way. He excitedly swang his arms and legs when we finally got him out. Jonathan put Kai onto his lap. Kai found the headset interesting and tried to grab it. Soon he became distracted by the video on the computer screen - there were two people talking and waving to him. Kai was overwhelmed. He kept jumping up and down on his dad's lap and never stayed still.

It was a nice chat. Kai looks forward to the next time.
