Also, I showed #GS3 a couple of books I bought for his cousin #A1. He said “books!” and got a big smile. So I guess he’s going to get the Captain Underpants and Dog Man series like his cousins.
But not right away. He’s still at the stage where books need to have stiff tear-proof pages.

Sent messages to sons asking to schedule short #videochat sessions tomorrow.
I normally have one with #sonOne and #GD1 and #GD2 (on rare occasions daughter-in-law pops in for a few minutes) Sunday afternoons, but recently, his work schedule has interfered.
I normally have them Fridays and Sundays with #sonTwo and #GS3 and #GS4 (sometimes daughter-in-law, but she's often busy), but we missed tonight's session.
Sessions with #Daddy_A, #A1, #A2, and #A3 are infrequent, and he often has device issues that prevent it. (That is, his iPhone and iPad don't display notifications or make sounds ... he even took the phone in for service; they couldn't correct it, so they replaced it.)

Bought two books in a series “New Kid” and “Class Act” for #A1 and #GD2 … and alerted their fathers that they should read those books first, then use their judgement as to when to let the kids read them.
The books were in the 8-13 section at Target, but the kids are 8 and 9, so I wanted to be sure the books weren’t too mature for the kids.
Also got two “Baby-sitters Club” graphic novels (also 8-13, so same notice to #sonOne) and two “Captain Underpants” (no need for a notice, #Daddy_A used read those himself).

@clacke Thanks for that info. #A1 asked me for more Dog Man and Captain Underpants books, so I asked #Daddy_A to get me a list of which ones he already has.
I'll send his cousin #GD2 the same series.

I can't do the school supplies thing this year, but I did find the wide Kindergarten pencils at #Target, so I bought a few for #A2. #A1 will get standard yellow No. 2 pencils.
#GD1 and #GD2 will also get a few pencils.
-
I was finally able to mess around in #Fortnite on my #Switch. I'm a long way from being a valued ally that can keep up with my grandkids (right now, both #A1 and his younger brother #A2 play it). But the little bit I saw (story mode) was okay.
-
Flash cards for #GD2 were delivered today. Also flash cards for #A1, #A2, and #A3.
-
Will probably send books to #sonTwo tomorrow. #GS3 is already used to getting regular shipments of books and toys and #GS4 will figure it out within a year or so.
At one point, #A1 ( #Little_Boy_A ) knew that every time a box came to the house, it was gifts from grandpa.

#GD2 and #A1 (ages 9 and 8) are getting these soon. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/280836

#GD2 and #A1 are about to experience a treat from the past. I ordered rereleases of "CDB!" and "CDC?" for them. Thanks to textspeak, I think they will be easier to understand now.
-
I received a message from #Daddy_A, telling me that #A1 ( #Little_Boy_A ) loves having the motorcycle noise device on his bike.

I’m sure the sound is processed for the commercial. It probably is a little more realistic than our old playing cards were, but I’d be surprised if it sounds like it does in this video.

#A1 ( #Little_Boy_A ... now that he’s 8, he doesn’t want to be called ‘Little Boy’ any more ) is getting https://www.amazon.com/Turbospoke-Bicycle-Exhaust-System-Updated/dp/B07K1LPBBY
I couldn’t get an answer in time when I asked whether #Little_Boy_A2 or #Little_Girl_A3 are riding “real” bikes, so I didn’t buy this for them.
