He says it as a squawking sound and repeats it several minutes at a time. -

He said they're going to love it because it talks and it throws a bat boomerang thing.
It's labelled for 4 and up, but I don't know how someone would expect that the younger child in the same room won't play with it. I went ahead and got two identical toys so they don't need to fight. -

I did attempt to call with #sonOne's youngest daughter ( #GD2 ), but network issues prevented the connection.
#Daddy_A's oldest, #A1, hasn't had service for his phone in so long that he'll probably have a new number if and when they reactivate it. -

There was candy and music. #GS5 was dancing, and I'm sure #GS4 was also. #GS3 is a little more reserved about song and dance. I'm already planning to put him in music and dance classes to help him get over that. -

They should all be enjoying their stuff by Saturday.
Also shipped non-birthday gifts to #A1, #GS3, #GS4. -

There’s now a telescope, so even though 4 1/2 year old #GS3 is really too young for it, they can occasionally have an evening observation. He likes space, stars and planets, the moon, and weather. I asked whether 2 1/2 year old #GS4 has started expressing his own preferences yet. The answer is he currently likes what his older brother likes, but he’s less emotionally invested in those topics.
The exception is TV. GS3 likes “Bluey” and GS4 only likes “Octonauts”. And colors: GS3 likes blue and GS4 likes red. #GS5, at age 1 hasn’t shown any preference yet, but I’ve been looking for clothing in green for now. -

He was more interested in toy people than a toy truck anyway. -

#GS3 (age 4½): Grandpa, you're being silly!
#Son1 (age 46): I have more wrinkles than you do! That's not fair!
I've caught up beard-wise. He and his brother (10 years younger) started getting patches of white in their beards when I still had only a couple of white hairs. -

No feet covers because two of the three are taller and thinner than most kids their ages. -

I'm thinking #GS3, #GS4, #GS5 need to listen to this with grandpa for a while.
(I could do this. I once listened to Safety Dance almost exclusively for about six months. Similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrgmXuikWkA ) -

His speech is growing nicely. For a while, I couldn't see any changes, but recently, he's having conversations.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

The older boys are trying choose a tiny pumpkin to put on the porch. My daughter in law usually picks a medium size pumpkin to turn into pie.
This is a major event on the family calendar, but it seems early this year.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

As far as I’m aware, #A-2 and #A-3 are leaving their hair in its natural color. As are #GS-3, #GS-4, #GS-5.
That’s ages 1-16.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

It warned 5.5 magnitude quake near Ojai. Shaking heading your way. Take cover now!
But I (correctly) believed that an M5.5 quake in Ojai is too far away to pose any danger here. But we did get to talk about earthquakes and tropical storms (and about her 4 year old cousin #GS3, who is very interested in weather).In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

They have some trees down in their yard, so #sonTwo will have to buy or rent a chainsaw. The fence is still up, and the animals (dogs, cats, chickens) are all okay.
Apparently, the power is back on for them. I did see that not everyone in the area has power yet.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

We talked about their books that I'm reading for them. Also about their outing yesterday ... the family went for a drive ... #sonTwo didn't say that they stopped anywhere, either. Usually, such trips end up with a stop at a city park if the weather is okay. In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink
