Dizzying FaceTime Call from an Ice Princess

My heart explodes every time my grandkids call me. There used to be a time when I couldn’t understand a word they said, but those days are long gone. Now, I get dizzy! They are in constant motion on FaceTime. I watched them run from the kitchen to the basement to show me the feeding of Yogi, the bearded dragon. Then a rush up two flights of stairs to my grandson’s bedroom where I saw my grandson’s pile of books, new comforter, and listened to a poem he had written. After that, I was visually escorted into my granddaughter’s bathroom to watch her wash her hands. Immediately afterwards, while hearing about her weekend, school work, ice skating friends, and practices, I had the pleasure of watching her put her clean laundry away including her underwear, some of which she dropped on the floor in her haste. Back down the stairs we went, with a stop on the landing to see how much snow had melted outside a window, and into the living room which had a coffee table with a hollow base into which she disappeared while I waited. Finally, we ran through the halls into the kitchen to see when dinner would be ready and a quick hello to my daughter-in-law and ended in the family room, where I said hello to my son and a goodbye to all! Time for my dinner while I unwind!

My gkids are younger and right now I'm seeing a lot of the groud, sky, etc on Facetime with them. I wouldn't trade it for the world though.

They can wear you out without you even being there! I bet their parents are happy to have you occupy them for awhile!

@DianneN Thank God they have sports to keep them focused and more importantly using up all that energy!

That they did! Their mother is more patient than my son. These kids never stop running or talking, but I'm always glad to "help" out. I know I will sleep well tonight!

They both know how to put animal faces on their bodies during the calls. I don't know how I'd live without FaceTime. It's almost as good as being with them.

@TheHorse Thanks. Me, too, but I’m wondering if that dizziness brought on my migraine. Two horrible days of it.
