Even if the style didn't give it away, I would know who drew this because of which dog was chosen. #GS4 has a different favorite dog. In fact, he used to call all dogs by that dog's name.
#sonTwo told me that #GS3 isn't really interacting with the other kids ... which isn't unexpected, since he hasn't really spent much time with others his age. They tried to get the kids to dance and sing a song together, but he has never been one to join in. Apparently, he sang a few words toward the end of the song.
Also, the four year old has not enrolled in preschool, so he'll be participating in socialization events through the local parks and recreation district.
During tonight’s #videochat, #GS3 told me more about Tropical Cyclone Mocha and especially about Tropical Storm Arlene. He knows that Arlene was near #FL, where his other grandparents live. He had not seen that Arlene broke apart, so he was concerned about them.
#GS4 didn’t say a lot. He told me that some of his berries yesterday were “greenberries”, not blueberries.
#GS5 looked grumpy. Then he quickly smiled twice at me, then returned to his grumpy look.
I don’t have budget for it right now, but the kids need hats with big floppy brims, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
4 year old #GS3 dutifully helped fill the bag, while 2 year old #GS filled his tummy. The photos don't show 8 months old #GS5 doing either, but I'm sure he had some berries.
I can see 6 teeth in his mouth and I see his hand reaching out.
We're still tracking former #Typhoon Mawar, currently a tropical storm. #TropStorm Mawar made a turn to the North, with its edge passing near Taiwan.
It's hard to keep up. I'll see something and when we talk during our videochats, #GS3 will have some information I did not know about. At four years old.
(I can see why his other grandpa wouldn't watch the weather with him, but that's really not the solution. He's four years old. In a few months to a year, he may find something else that interests him. In the meantime, let him learn what he wants to learn.)
I'm fully prepared for the 4 year old to find another interest, but while h is interested in meteorology, we're letting him learn as much as he wants and introducing related subjects, too. (Examples: astronomy, geology, life sciences.)
He likes rocket launches. He even surprised me by being interested in the #NASA #DART mission's approach to an asteroid.
#GS3 found a nest that blew out of a tree. He's wearing his blue #DodgersBaseball shirt and holding a nest that looks so perfect it should have been made by the bird school yeacher.
His brothers both got #DodgersBaseball shirts in blue ( #GS3's favorite color ). Once I have some more money, I'll look for #KCRoyals and #KCMonarchs shirts.
Oh, apparently, the “mocha” coffee beans which shipped from Mokha (al Mokka) have a naturally chocolatey flavor, which is why we call #coffee with added #chocolate by the name mocha.
I learn more from helping #GS3 pursue his interests than he ever learned from me.
