#sonTwo informs me that they celebrated their holidays early, as his wife and kids will be going to her parents' home for the holidays. He's got to work, so he'll be home. #GS3 got his favorite "Gup" https://nu.federati.net/url/288815 and keeps it with him all the time. (He has to, or #GS4 will try to take it.) -

Had a #videochat with #GS3 and #GS4. During the chat, the 3.5 year old carried the phone around the house and found a missing steak knife on the floor underneath something. I sent #sonTwo a text message telling him to ask his son where the knife is.
The 1.5 year old asked me to pick him up. His word for that is "down". -

I waited to say goodnight to #GS3 and #GS4, but we missed our time slot. -

Well, I should say that #GS3 is watching it. #GS4 is not paying attention at all. The adults are watching while doing other things. -

Since Grandpa is leaving in a few days, we went to buy the Christmas tree today. I've seen video of previous years, and #GS3 is always excitedly running around and pointing at small trees. Today, he was a lot less active, and #GS4 was laggy. (The 1.5 year old had fallen asleep on the way over there, and was still not fully awake by the time we'd found the tree, cut it down, and dragged it over to pay for it.) -

#sonTwo put the boys on #videochat yesterday after they had visited a pick-your-own farm. #GS4 (age 1) ate everything he picked, while #GS3 (age 3) filled the bucket.
They love fruit.
During the chat, GS3 showed me his new monster truck toy (a little bigger than a Hot Wheels toy). GS4 was eating a sandwich and kept calling me "Dadda" and "Papa", then (after sonTwo corrected him) he'd call me "Gan'pa" before starting over with Dadda. He ate about half the sandwich before he held it too low and it became dog food.
The new puppy is teething, so they need to have lots of chew toys to stick in front of it whenever it tries to chew something it shouldn't chew. Hopefully, this time they can weather the storm long enough to get the doggy past that stage. A prior puppy's chewing got so bad that they took it to sonTwo's in-laws because it even tried to chew on GS3.
The existing dog has learned to escape from human children when it wants a little rest, but the doggy child goes into the backyard when the older dog goes out. -

#sonTwo and his wife took the boys to a little carnival thing. Being 3 and 1, the primary thing they let them do was go into toddler bounce rooms. #GS3's bounce room had little obstacles and he got to meet some new friends, so he tried to hide when it was time to leave.
#GS4's bounce room had other 1 and 2 year olds, but they did not interact with each other. -

#GS4 had his big grin in today's #videochat. #GS3 told me about his favorite book, Piggie and Elephant Biggie, but he did not read it to me today. -

#sonTwo took the boys to a place where you can pick your own strawberries. #GS3 really enjoyed filling the basket. #GS4 ate everything he picked. -

#GS3 and #GS4 recorded video messages. We skipped our normal #videochat because the other grandparents are visiting. -

Got a full hour of #videochat with #GS3 and 45 minutes with #GS4 tonight. Their other grandparents will be visiting for the next couple of weeks, so we will take a break.
The younger one is thrilled with a book 📕 that has places to feel dinosaurs. Not that anyone knows what a dinosaur 🦕’s skin felt like. The older one is pushing buttons on a talking, singing electronic toy.
I told them (and #sonTwo) that the only career that will always have jobs is plumbing, but that I will try to prepare them as much as I can for the things I know.
I also mentioned that their cousin #A1 is getting a micro:Bit and a couple of projects for it. -

#sonTwo and his wife put #GS3 and #GS4 on a #videochat with me tonight. The younger child was very hungry, as though he hadn't eaten all day ... even though I had seen video of him turning down more food earlier today. The older child found two toys that sing the same song, so he's been pushing the buttons to make them sing together. -

#GS4 attempts to put on his shoes. No, bud. Your foot goes in the hole.
I take it that the weather is warm enough for him to go outside. -

We followed the call with a #videochat.
#GS3 is very much a do things a certain way kind of child. So that means that if he's drinking juice, don't interrupt him to have him say hi to Grandpa. He will say hi once he finishes his juice. And he's at the age where he doesn't want to say goodbye.
#GS4 was about to go to bed. He was very tired and silent. But he smiled and tried to get closer to the tablet.
They were wearing pajamas that Grandpa bought, and the older child held his toy fire station. -

On today's phone call with #sonTwo, I said I'd bought one more thing for #GS4, and that I wasn't planning to spend any more money on this assignment.
He laughed and said "Yeah, right. If you're there a couple of months, you'll buy them something else."
After the next shipment of diapers, I'm going to see who is right. -

It’s a boy!
#sonTwo and his wife took #GS3 and #GS4 to a park, where they revealed that their upcoming sibling is a boy by making a volcano with blue lava. -

Today’s #videochat with #sonTwo, #GS3, #GS4 was short. Their dinner was delayed and the kids were hungry. As soon as it was ready, we disconnected, so they could eat and start preparing for bedtime. The 1 year old grandson babbled something and then said something that sounded like “Grandpa” before babbling some more. -

This weekend, I had my regular #videochat with #sonTwo, #GS3, #GS4. The younger child had missed his nap, so he had gone to bed early. He heard Grandpa's voice and started crying until they brought him out to see me.
He tried to give me his bottle, then raised his arms to say "pick me up". At one year old, he hasn't quite grasped that the person in the tablet screen cannot just step through the glass. He's quite sleepy, but I think he's going to resist sleep as long as he can.
The three year old was repeating back everything I said, then he showed me his Spiderman toy and his book. Spiderman talks when you pull the string, so he got distracted with that and forgot about Grandpa until time to say goodnight.
There must have been some TV show where a character speaks in a growling voice, because GS3 kept reverting to that voice.
I did not have this week's call with #sonOne, #GD1, and #GD2. We'll have to try for next weekend. -

In a recent discussion with #sonTwo, we discussed ways to ensure that #GS3 and #GS4 have a friend group consisting of individuals from a mixture of different ancestries and ethnicities / cultures. One thing that I think would be worthwhile is helping them learn at least one foreign language.
