I asked #sonTwo, my 33 year old, about his birthday (work and sleep schedule prevented it until now). The answer I got was a picture of #GS3 wearing a festive hat and reaching up for a slice of cake. I guess that means it was good.
-
Missed today's scheduled #videochat with #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2. Tried to have one with #sonTwo and his wife and #GS3, but it didn't happen either.
-
Good morning. It is Saturday, 2020-12-12 10:00 PST (US-Pacific). I'm finished with today's #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ) and waiting for a chance to #videochat with #GS3. He's been asleep when I wanted to chat, so having a full day to try to connect is a good thing.
-
Final picture was when they finished loading the tree onto the car, when #GS3 realized this meant time to go home. Tears, of course.
-
Didn't get to #videochat with any of the kids or grandkids today, but I did receive some pictures of #GS3 picking out a Christmas tree.
-
#GS3 isn't quite 2 yet, so he's not throwing the Frisbee yet. He has learned to throw a ball (thanks to the other Grandpa), but of course, he's got no control over where it goes yet.
-
My daughter-in-law and #GS3 are on their way back to #MO today. They were visiting his other grandparents and great grandparents for Thanksgiving.
-
#GS3 is visiting the other grandparents right now. Got a picture of him with his other Grandpa.
-
I think #GS3 got ahold of daddy’s phone. I got a call, but from the sound of his voice, #sonTwo was across the room and unaware of the call. I tried to get my grandson to talk to grandpa, but he didn’t make a sound. I probably should have called back, but I know my son will be heading to bed soon and didn’t want to delay his rest.
-
I'm going to have to #videochat with #GS3 more often, so he doesn't lose the closeness.
-
The plan was for me to come and take care of #GS3, the dogs, the chickens, etc. We were looking at the costs of travelling and realized that none of us is ready to pay for another trip right now.
-
Scheduled some non-available time in December for #sonTwo's birthday. His brothers are going to start thinking he's the favorite, especially if I schedule time in March for his #GS3's birthday.
-
New videos from one of my daughters-in-law: She’s using the blocks I bought to teach #GS3 to say the names of colors. So far, he says “purple” and “yellow”. I do not know whether he realizes that “purple” goes with the purple-colored blocks and “yellow” goes with the yellow-colored blocks, but that’s a start.
He still calls both parents (and grandpa!) “Dadda”, but we’re working on that, too. He knows how to say “Mama”, but he only says it during the reading of “the Mama book”.
-
I awoke to see a screenshot of #sonOne's order of clothing for #Daddy_A's daughter #Little_Girl_A3. He got everything: shoes, socks, pants, panties, shirts. There's even one item that might be a jacket. Now grandpa needs to put in an order for clothing for #Little_Boy_A and #Little_Boy_A2.
I also have a list of items to order for #GS3.
-
Shared #Daddy_A's financial status with his brothers. We're going to team up to get the kids some clothing and shoes. For some value of 'we', considering that I and #sonTwo's in-laws are already buying #GS3's clothes.
-
#sonTwo tells me that #GS3 keeps grabbing the remote and pushing buttons.
That's consistent with my experience. The child is attracted to buttons, lights, beeps, and screens, and touches / pushes to make things happen.
-
Taking that trip to #MO seems to have helped. #GS3 is interacting with me more when we #videochat. Next up is to try to set up multi-way chats, so that the grandkids can know each other better.
-
So removing #Manyverse from my #iPad released enough storage to allow me to upgrade to #iOS 14.0.1. I've since reinstalled Manyverse, and I'm currently upgrading to iOS 14.1.
My impressions of iOS 14: irritating as f*ck. Every few hours (almost every time I unlock the screen), it asks me to enter my AppleID password. You know, that long and complex machine-generated string that is difficult to enter correctly on a mobile device? Yes, that one.
Oh, and I keep getting random permission screens popping up. No, I do not want to set your browser as the default. I'll set Firefox Focus as default, if I can. Otherwise, I'll leave it as Safari.
This is a Gen5 device, so it will likely go unsupported within a year from now. I may just wipe it and ship it to #sonTwo, so they have something that #GS3 can play with. I have an old Samsung Galaxy tablet that I was already planning to send.
(Funny story: he got ahold of his mother's newer iPad and pushed so many random buttons that she couldn't even log in to back it up. She had to completely wipe it, losing some data in the process.)
We agree that children spend too much time with electronics, but the problem is that even if you don't intend for him to spend time with electronics, he's automatically drawn to them. He discovered grandpa's watch the first day I was there, and if it lit up or made the slightest sound, he came running.

Arrived back in my #SoCal hometown. #GS3 (1 1/2 years old) is truly wonderful. Very active, to the point that standard sized clothing appropriate for his height is too wide for him.
We had a great time. We must have read “the Mama book” (Jimmy Fallon) 25 times.
When he got up this morning and saw my suitcase, he was sad. Without anyone saying it, he knew I was leaving.
-
I’m really going to miss #GS3 when I go back to #SoCal, but I have some stuff I must do.
