Many of you have asked how the boys are doing with Mommy so far away, and I must say that they have handled it really well. I can tell that they are missing her, but the slightly more fragile emotional state of Jamie, and by the fact that both are a little extra clingy. Jamie, after a number of sessions with the globe, understands that she is in France and that it's a long way away. Connor, too, seems to understand this at some level. One thing that has helped is that we have had the benefit of technology, using Skype videophone to talk most mornings. The boys love this of course. Whenever I go to the computer now Connor points and says "SEE MOMMA! SEE MOMMA!!"
It has caused a little confusion, though. Sarah also made a very sweet videotape of herself reading books to the boys. They love watching it of course, but sometimes they think it is Skype. In some places, Sarah addresses them specifically, and they answer and then ask her questions and are confused by the lack of response. Oh well, technology flummoxes us all at some point!
