My DIL sent me an invitation this morning to join this wonderful site which is from my little grandson's nursery in NZ. In it we get to see photos and some videos of the children in their classes each day doing various activities and if the child (your relative) has been particularly involved they write a blog about them. I've seen him making biscuits and doing hand painting as well as reading special insights into how involved he was with these. We are also able to make a comment which will go into their year books and even write a story for them. I think it's such a brilliant idea and means that we get to feel involved in his life a little more than normally and will also mean we will have things to talk about to him when we Skype. My husband is out there with them at the moment on holiday which makes me feel even more remote but with this it's meant I get an insight into what his daily routine is. I don't know if this something new or if other grandparents already use this but I would definitely recommend it smile

It's a great idea and I'm sure you will get much enjoyment from it.
I just hope the site is secure hmm

That's a wonderful idea and I hope you get much pleasure from being a little bit closer to your grandson .

how wonderful, its hard not seeing grandchildren grow up because they are miles away, Skype is brilliant! I so look forward to seeing my little grandson every week on Skype.

Yes the site is secure - you have to be invited by a parent and are unable to download any of the photos or videos which is good. I can look forward to watching him from afar and his little brother when he gets to that age. smile
