    Found a Spanish <—> English dictionary at the 99 Cents Only store, so I got two: one for #GD1 and one for #GD2.

    Good morning. It is 2021-01-09 16:50 UTC (08:50 PST). I’ve finished today’s #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ) and have planned a day of relaxation.

    I’m probably anticipating too strongly, but today’s schedule includes:
    * phone call with #Daddy_A and #Little_Boy_A and possibly playing a game together
    * videochat with brother and his wife + other family members
    * #videochat with #sonTwo and #GS3
    * phone call with #faveNephew
    * drawing something to send to #GD1 and #GD2 ... the younger granddaughter hasn’t been sending me any of her animations recently.

    His cousin #GD2 was also really into her scribbles. She eventually got into a special art-focused program at school, and is now doing animations.

    I don’t claim that #GS3 is going to follow the same path, but he’s more art-focused than any of the other grandkids (besides GD2) were at that age.

    Looking at the planets each evening reminds me of when my mom had a telescope and used to take #sonTwo and my niece LG out in the back yard for celestial observation evenings once or twice per month.

    I’m looking forward to living close enough to #GS3 and his soon-coming baby brother so that I can do something similar with them. And I’m open to picking up #GD1 and #GD2 (three hours in each direction) for an occasional weekend in which “telescope night” would be a regular fixture.

    Missed today's scheduled #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2. Tried to have one with #sonTwo and his wife and #GS3, but it didn't happen either.

    Could barely hear #GD2 on today's call. She told me that she's learning animation. She has mentioned it before, but now I wonder whether this is part of a school enhancement / enrichment program.

    I almost always text in almost full English sentences. Almost always capitalized and punctuated, but sometimes I leave off parts like "I am ..." or "You are ..." at the beginning of a sentence.

    My granddaughter #GD2 also does that, which makes her messages much easier to read and understand than #GD1's which are often in her own cryptic dialect of text-speak.

    Wow, #GD2 is now 97. She was 8, but you add 1 for her birthday to get 9. The 1 has to come from somewhere, so we take it away from the 8, which leaves 7.

    01:10 Central / 23:10 Pacific. Receive a Wire message from #GD2 (8 years old granddaughter).

    Staying silent, because I know she's got online school tomorrow and don't want to be her excuse for staying up even later.

    Me: What kind of books do you like?

    #GD2: I like dog books and cat books.

    Later
    Me: I could not find any snake books. I hope you’re okay with dog and cat books.

    Ordered 4 books (3 dog books, 1 cat book) for #GD2's 9th birthday. I hope it doesn't cause any issues. I only ordered 2 books for #GD1's 13th birthday.

    Was able to #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 for about an hour and a half today on #Wire. He's been working 16 hours a day since June, but he got a week of vacation. It possibly means that he'll be unavailable again in a week, but I'll try to do #videochats with the kids.

    Was informed that #GD1 lost her phone. #GS1 likewise lost his phone, but found it and sent it to sonOne because it wasn't accepting a charge. Daughter-in-law will make the six hour round trip to deliver the now-working phone to her son.

    (Asked because both of them suddenly stopped responding to SMS.)

    Me: What time are you finished with school for today?

    #GD2 (age 8): It is Saturday

    Oops!

    I like watching the persistence of small children. When #GD2 was this age, they had a wooden porch about two feet high. She wanted to get off the porch and go to the fence. Every few minutes, she would try to make a break for it and we’d have to catch her before she ran off the edge. She would come from different directions, be facing somewhere else and suddenly turn and run.

    #GS3 is similar in this determination to explore things and places that adults try to keep him out of.

    I won’t get to see #sonOne or #GD2 near their birthdays this year, thanks to #COVID-19.

    #sonOne wasn’t available for #videochat when I called today, but I know he’s been working 16 hours a day, six or seven days a week since June, so it is okay. I’m expecting to see him in person soon. I should also see #GD1 and #GD2. I really miss seeing them in video each week.

    I'll be three hours away from #sonOne just a couple weeks before his birthday and #GD2's birthday. I won't have a car, though.

    #GS3 discovered the Etch-A-Sketch.

    It looks like he's an "art child", like his cousin #GD2.

    I missed having our weekly #videochat with #sonOne and #GD1 and #GD2 again, but I did get about fifteen minutes with #GS3.

    He showed me his toy truck and said “trunk”, but would not repeat it.

    Then he called me “Dadda”, just like he calls both of his parents.

    He learned to ask “What is that?”, but he did not say it during our call.

    #GD2's bedroom is downstairs, so she doesn't receive my text messages juntil she heads upstairs, and only if she brings her phone. Tough, because I'm used to sending and receiving multiple messages per day. Now, it is more like once per week I get a batch of responses.
