How often does your child call home?

My son has been school for a whole 10 days. He is a freshman, so the first few days were orientation, and then classes began. I noticed that he is willing to talk when he has a free moment. It just seems as though his “free” moment (meaning a moment without someone around him, or where he isn’t being asked to go somewhere or do something) has been nearly non-existent. I initiated a few phone calls and they lasted less than 15 seconds each! He finally called me and I thought that I had a few minutes to speak with him, but as soon as he called me a new friend knocked on his door, so that conversation might been 30 seconds long. He is sharing things with me, but in 15 second sound bites. I am happy because I know my son is happy!
