This is good, because he's really heavy (about 90th percentile) for his age. His older brothers are at 10th percentile (4 year old #GS3) and 5th percentile (2 year old #GS4).
Incidentally, the 2 year old just had a bunch of tests. They're looking for food allergies. -

Their visits were preplanned, but the timing was good, as both Mom and #lazyNephew were in car accidents within the past few days and they were able to check on Mom.
Everyone is okay. They are both waiting for auto insurers to decide on auto repairs.
I also learned that one of my brother's friends from high school had cataract surgery and is driving again.
Both brothers had a laugh at video of #GS4's birthday (recently turned 2 years old) where he's offering to send me his cake through the tablet screen. -

A while ago, before his 2nd birthday, I asked him and his older brother what color shirts they wanted. I wasn't really expecting the not-quite-two-year-old to know color names, but he was first to answer.
"Red!"
And then, to make sure I heard him, he repeated it. He got his red shirt. -

He runs and it flies while he runs, then when he reaches the end of the yard and stops, it comes down. He's having lots of fun with it just because he doesn't know it is supposed to go up high enough to stay up without him running.
#GS4 also has a kite, but the grass is knee high for him (needs cutting, I know), and he's two years old and twenty-five pounds. -

Unfortunately, even with "order a size larger", the two year old's slippers were too small. #sonTwo is going to the store on his way home from work to pick up some slippers, because he was really unhappy that he didn't get to wear his slippers. -

Neither has ever expressed a preference before.
The older boy said he wants a blue shirt. The ypunger boy was very clear: red. To make sure I heard it, he repeated it twice. So I am in Walmart looking for t-shirts in their respective sizes and colors. -

I didn't actually choose it or pay for it, because I was still struggling with the bank. Anyway, it is a hook-and-loop ball and target set. The target is a felt rectangle with a depiction of various planets on it.
So on the video, he said "Grandpa sent me something about planets", and his brother #GS4 (almost 2 years old) started asking whether they were going to have a videochat with "ganpa".
Anyway, I'm going to try to order some clothing for both of them. The 4 year old is too tall for most of this clothes, but the next size up are too wide for him. This has been the case for about a year, so it isn't a change, except he's moved up another size. But now, the 2 year old has outgrown almost all his clothes height-wise, but width-wise, he can still fit clothes from a year ago.
Likewise, I couldn't get anything for their cousin #A1 around the time of his birthday, but I've picked something that I will try to order soon. I'm waiting to hear back from #Daddy_A that this is something the 10 year old will like ... and that someone will be involved with exploring it with him. -

Daughter-in-law is concerned that his weight (which was already near the lower end for boys his age six months ago) hasn't risen enough. I think part of this is because his brother #GS5 is near the top for his own age ... and not very far behind GS4, who is around the 5th percentile for his age.
#GS3 had his four years checkup and he apparently gained about 25% from where he was six months ago, putting him around the 50th to 75th percentile for his age. -

Recently, #sonTwo finally got time to set them up. #GS3 said "Thank you Grandpa for the lights" and #GS4 squealed with joy in the background. -

Backstory: #GS4 (not quite 2 years old) is learning to use the potty. Somehow, he missed and pooped on the floor, then picked it up and put it in the toilet. #sonTwo was cleaning the child and uttered the forbidden words.
When I heard about it, I seriously laughed out loud, because he told on me when I uttered the same words after bending a fingernail backwards while trying to squeeze his foot (plus fluffy wool socks) into his shoes.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

#GS3 decided he wanted attention also, so he put on a different pair.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

The older two have birthdays coming up. The almost 4 year old told me about earthquakes and a storm that gave him a headache … which seemed pretty dramatic, so he may have embellished a bit. The almost 2 year old had a whole conversation of one word responses. His vocabulary is expanding. He also brought me his newest toy (some sort of stuffed animal with electronics that flash lights, make noises, and move … reminded me of Gremlins from the 1980s movie)
The TV was on, so the almost 4 year old was distracted (the almost 2 year old also, but much less), but they talked until (and partway through) dinnertime.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

He kept holding up the truck and telling me what it was.
“Truck!”
“Do you like the truck?”
“No!” (He still doesn’t say “yes”; not ever.)
#GS3 was telling me about the snow ❄️ and ice 🧊 outside. They went out to play, but he slipped and fell. No injuries, but that was the end of their outing.
#GS5 made it clear that he was hungry. Waaa 😫! (He’s holding steady at about 75% as heavy as GS4.)In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

We’re going to have another videochat today, without any television 📺 to interfere.
The almost two years old child was at the limit of his verbal expression, but he was clear about what he was saying. “I’m happy that we’re having this chat, but I want you to come back and talk in person.”In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

He will be two years old in a few months. His younger brother #GS5 is three months old and currently weighs 16.5lb. Of course, he will lose weight once he starts crawling and walking, but wow.
