That should be #GD2.
-
Someone asked "What is a good site for a kid to do animations with an Android tablet?"
I asked #GD2, but she has not yet responded. Anyone have ideas?
Is there some software (preferably in #F-Droid) that can be used?
-
Going to #videochat with #GS3 and #GS4 today and hopefully tomorrow as well. Tomorrow I will also attempt to videochat with #GD1 and #GD2, and will attempt to make up last weekend's missed chat with #A1, #A2, #A3.
(In case you're wondering, I'm not attempting to set up a chat this weekend with 24 year old #GS2 nor 26 year old #GS1. I will try to get in touch with GS1 for a chat some time in August, and try to have a voice call with GS2 later this year.)

My 10 year old granddaughter #GD2 sent me a “happy Thursday“ message at 04:00 US-Central. I really enjoy it when grandkids contact me for no reason except to say hello.
She also got in touch to thank me for the school supplies that arrived this afternoon.

The museum had a 3D/VR of a space shuttle flight, but since I was there alone, I wasn't willing to spend $14 to experience it. If I'd brought #GD2 or #A1, we would have done that.
-
#sonOne discussed the subject matter with both #GD1 and #GD2, then said they are free to read the book. No updates yet, but he expected the younger daughter to read it first.
-
I passed a Barnes and Noble store, so I went in and discovered that there is another “Cat Kid Comic Club” book. I bought copies for #A1 and #GS3 (none for #GD2 because she’s currently only reading “Naruto” books).
-
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.

My 10 year old granddaughter, #GD2, has started drawing things for other kids in exchange for money. It looks like the 'how to draw cartoons' and 'how to draw anime' books (those aren't their exact titles) helped.

After about 24K steps yesterday, and 13K steps today, both of us are tired and sore. I’m heading to another part of #NYState tomorrow, while he’s heading home.
I had a really good time. I think it was 3 years since I saw #sonOne last, and close to 5 years since I visited his home ( #GD2 was 5-6; now she’s 10 ). We’re planning for me to visit, followed by a visit to #sonTwo and a possible one-day trip to see #Daddy_A.

Bought "1619" books for #sonOne and #sonTwo. And me. And my mom. Now #GD1 and #GD2 have read a related book. We're hoping to have a #videochat where we talk about some of the ideas and stories.
-
#GD2 says she's too old for little girl books (the ones meant for her age group, 10-12 years old). She's been reading her older sister's manga books, mostly Naruto.
-
#Daddy_A got a phone for nine year old #A1. I sent the lad a photo from the office window at work, but he did not respond. I will try to call him Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, cousin #GD2 reports that her phone doesn't take a charge any more. I planned to call her also, but it will have to wait until #sonOne replaces her phone.
-
In conversation, #GD2 said she liked teh first https://www.maxmeow.com/ book, so I asked #Daddy_A if it seemed like something that #A1 would also like. Answer: yes!
By Tuesday, 2022-01-04, both cousins should have all three Max Meow books.

#sonTwo and his wife called and said that the planetarium projector is likely to be #GS3’s favorite gift of the year. He spent an hour last night before bed watching stars ✨ and planets 🪐 , then got out of bed and brought the projector into his bed.
So far, no feedback from #A1 … they may be holding the kids’ items for Christmas.
#GD2 contacted me directly to tell me that she liked her gifts 🎁, but no details.
-
#GD2 reports that the first box of gifts arrived early. She and #GD1 have already opened it and taken possession of the items.
She says they both like what they got. (I hope #sonOne explains that I did not spend $2K for a handbag, so the younger daughter does not expect me to send a similarly expensive item in a few years when she is that age.
-
I'm surprised it wasn't appealed. Even though the state capital is in Cole County, there's got to be a state supreme court.
In the meantime, I suspect that #GD1 and #GD2 will continue to be home schooled because of such idiocy. I know it is still a few years away, but I will recommend the same for #GS3 and #GS4 when they approach school age.

Sent this to S and Mark. It is the gift I am sending to #GD2, #A1, and #GS3. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/283549

Picked something for #A1 ... I will probably send the same thing to #GD2 and #GS2 (despite him being 5.5 years younger than the recommended age ... if the parents handle it for him, it will be okay). That means that the search begins for items the siblings will enjoy as much as these three will enjoy the "planetarium projector:{https://www.target.com/p/smithsonian-planetarium-projector/-/A-52213640}.

#GD2 reminded me that she is not 108. That's 98 years too many. She is 10.
