lnxw48a1: I got to #videochat with #GS4 & #GS5 yesterday. #GS3 was watching TV, and did not participate. 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.”

lnxw48a1: I've been talking with #sonTwo and #Daddy_A about getting a 1 year subscription to https://www.crunchlabs.com/ for #GS3 and #A1. For the soon-to-be 4 year old, I think we should get the kits and set them aside along with instructions and downloaded videos, so he will have them in 2027 even if the program is no longer in operation. For the soon-to-be 10 year old, I wish I had known about this when he was 8.

lnxw48a1: #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.)

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".

lnxw48a1: We also watched "The Santa Clause", but the kids intermittently found other things that caught their attention (example: my newly working laptop has a default screensaver that #GS3 finds fascinating because of things like swirls of various colors moving across the screen; he wandered into the guest room, saw the screensaver, and ran over to grab my hand and pull me into my room to see).

lnxw48a1: 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.)

lnxw48a1: I let #GS3 stay up late, so he could see his daddy before bed. (Work schedules are really screwy right now; he's working one full-time job and two part-time jobs.) #sonTwo put him to bed about 45 minutes past his normal bedtime. #GS4's bedtime is earlier, but he wound up going to bed more than an hour late. Both boys (ages 3.5 and 1.5 years) were crying for 30-45 minutes, trying to fight sleep. I'm going to miss these little guys, even though I'm looking forward to a rest.

lnxw48a1: My 3.5 year old grandson #GS3 came running out of his room this morning to tell me that he wants to go on the plane with me to California when I leave. The other grandparents were supposed to come and spend some time here as well, but one of their parents is reaching the end of his life and they're trying to spend some time with him before that happens. (And also, he left no instructions for what to do when he's not mentally able to decide for himself whether to continue or remove life support.)

lnxw48a1: Today, #GS3 (age 3.5) came running in to wake me up and to ask if he could go with me on the plane to California. This has been a tremendous trip. It turned out to be nothing like the early plans (eleven weeks in SW #MO instead of two weeks in #SW_MO plus 1 week each in #KCMO and #Omaha #NE), but this has been a needed bonding time with the youngest set of grandkids.

A big hurricane is about to slam into Japan and more of Mexico, then head to Puerto Rico islands." #GS3 is playing underneath the bed and talking about these things. As an aside, he's 3.5 years old and has just recently started to say "hurricane" more often than "wurricane".

lnxw48a1: #GS3 had a hard day today. Twice, he was playing and missed his signal to go to the potty. He also had a couple of tantrums. #GS4 has been the one having a rough time most days, because he's only 1.5 and still expects to be mommy's main focus. Well, that and being told to stop creating messes or making them worse when he's in "mess monster" mode. But today, he was better.

lnxw48a1: Did some family pictures at a local park. Apparently, this is a popular spot. We saw photographers taking couples’ photos, and one that was photographing the deer 🦌 that were crossing the park. This time, it was grandpa taking the pictures, so I hope they aren’t too awful. Their last photos were done by a professional photographer, but one who did not connect with #GS4, so they were unsatisfied with the photos. I think the hope is that seeing me might help him relax and engage more. But he wasn’t interested in anything except the moon 🌙 and one person’s dog 🐕, so I don’t know whether this solved any of the issues. #GS3 noticed that the grass was sort of spongy, so he wanted to jump. Fun times, but also very tiring.

lnxw48a1: The stars are from a green laser, so it needs to be up above eye level. This is especially true if there are little ones around, because they are fascinated by the lights and will place their faces right up in front of it. In our case, the device has a button to turn off the "stars", so I did that. But then someone had to watch, because 3.5 year old #GS3 knows how to turn them back on and 1.5 year old #GS4 quickly heads for the device. the device got moved to a high shelf, so they can no longer place their vision in danger.

lnxw48a1: When I visited a couple of years ago, I had a $70 Walmart 10 inches diagonal tablet computer that #GS3 was always trying to grab and play with. About a year later, I decided that since it was never going to meet my needs and he really liked it, I would send it here. During the month-plus that I’ve been here, I have seen no sign of it. I suppose he may have destroyed it … or it may be packed away for a later time.

lnxw48a1: #GS3, #GS4, and #GS5 are asleep, but Hamilton continues. I seem to recall buying some historian’s book about Alexander Hamilton, along with both the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers. I think I bought two copies each (one sent home and one sent to #sonTwo, so should be here somewhere). If I can find them, I think I’ll try to read some portion of those books.

lnxw48a1: The boys ( #GS3 and #GS4 ) have met their new baby brother, #GS5, and are swarming him. The 3.5 year old asked what to feed him, cheeseburgers or macaroni and cheese. Mother and baby tested free of COVID-19 and baby has a few days of antibiotics because of his brothers' recent illness.

lnxw48a1: I have taught #GS3 that the best #coffee is the arabica variety, which grows at higher altitudes. So now when I walk into the kitchen and say "Coffee!", he responds "Cahrahbica!".

lnxw48a1: I remember when Tonka trucks were all metal. As I recall, they had some sharp edges. They probably would not pass today’s safety rules, but at the time, they were the choice of most of the parents and most of the children that I knew. #GS3 has a Tonka dump truck that is smaller and plastic, with electronics to produce engine sounds. I call it “Dumpling T Ruck”.
