When one of my parents is away, it can be really hard to predict when they’ll be able to call or see me on video. Especially when I am really little and sleeping so much, my parent who is away might feel like I’m sleeping every time they try to talk to me! Sometimes, if it seems like I’m ready to wake up, it’s okay to see if I’ll wake up a little early. But if I’m deep asleep, please let me stay that way – being woken up too early will probably make me upset and I won’t be able to focus on our special call. Ask my at-home parent to record your special message for me so I can listen when I am alert. If it isn’t possible to record video, too, my at-home parent could hold up a picture of you for me to see while I am listening to your message.
