#GS3 got ahold of mommy's phone and took some pictures of #GS4. Considering he's 2.5 years old, most of the pictures are really good.
-
Looks like #GS3 is getting a sweatshirt. I saw this and immediately knew it would be a hit. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/283636

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

#RoadTrip #sonTwo drove his wife and kids to her parents' house, where they will spend 2-3 weeks. He's now driving back home.
Magical trip experience: #GS3 figured out how to balance a chicken nugget on his foot held above his head while strapped into his child seat.
-
#GS3's other grandparents bought him a bicycle! He is going to be ultra excited.
-
#GS3 likes big trucks and construction equipment. He got to sit in the cab of a big truck recently, and he was excited.
He's probably the only kid in the country that runs to the window and chatters excitedly when the garbage truck comes to take the trash each week.
The other thing he likes is dinosaurs, so he'd probably like some of the Transformers (some of the Autobots and Dinobots).
-
#GS3 stuck some plastic toy into the wall heater. My daughter-in-law found him swirling a burning toy around and flames coming out of the heater. She put both fires out, but the heater will have to be replaced.
#sonTwo said he may have a little pyromaniac on his hands. But I think he's just a curious two-point-five year old. He's the same child who figured out how to stick his toys into the child-proof server rack about a year ago.
-
It was so late that I thought #GS3 would be asleep ?, but he was able to videochat with me. He read me a book and showed me his “Winnie the Pooh” ? toy.
I got to hear about his latest two year old antics. His new thing is instead of saying “No”, he says “No, I don’t need it”.
-
#GS4 has a toy xylophone that he loves to play with. At about six months old, he hasn't yet mastered hitting it with the attached mallet thing, but he makes the motions and occasionally strikes it, making a tone. I told my daughter-in-law that I foresee the day when he asks Grandpa for drums.
She says he likes it and plays with it far more than #GS3 ever did.
-
My grandson got to meet a cartoon character today. It was a person in a character costume, but he seems happy anyway.
In the photos, #GS3 looks happy in his hyper-excited way.
He also got to meet a dinosaur and to "discover" dinosaur bones.
-
#GS3 seems to really like dinosaurs ?. If someone in a part of the country with a high birth rate was to open a dinosaur park with animatronics and costumed dinosaur characters, they might be able to make a decent living.
I know a full-scale theme park needs a movie studio or brewery sponsor, but on a smaller scale, it just might work.
-
Today’s outing for #GS3 and #GS4 looks like they went somewhere space-themed. In the photo my daughter-in-law sent, the two year old is standing near something that resembles a space suit.
-
In last night’s #videochat, #GS3 brought his power tool to Grandpa and asked for batteries ? to make it work again. #sonTwo said it is the lug nut gun that mechanics ? use. It came with a toy car that got broken within less than a day. And that it is just an irritating noisemaker without the car.
I guess I will be ordering some AA batteries soon.
-
#GS4 is still working on his crawling skills. He’s not there yet, but he’s really trying to get there. He’s still quieter than #GS3, but he’s also working on trying to communicate.
-
#GS3 showed me his toy tractor. He objected when I called the driver aR farmer. #GS4 was quiet, but stared intently at Grandpa.
Today, #sonTwo and I briefly talked about him getting a place outside the municipal boundaries, so they can have farm animals.
Network congestion was an issue today, so images were pixelated during most of our half hour call.
-
And #GS3’s shipment of books and art stuff arrived. #GS4 had a couple of things in there also, but I forgot to get anything for my granddoggy.
The two year old was holding a Captain Underpants book and waiting for #sonTwo to read it to him.
Since the CU and Dog Man books are not toddler resistant, 2nd son said he was going to keep them away from GS3 and just bring them out when it is time to read.
(GS3 saw me showing his dad some books I bought for his cousin A1 … got excited about incoming books … so Grandpa bought him some of the same books. [And I also got many of the same books for cousin #GD2] … the under 13 crowd will have lots of fun with these stories.)
-
#sonTwo’s wife sent a photo of #GS3 reading to his little brother. (I know it isn’t quite reading yet, but he knows the story and can match most of it with the right page.)
“Never touch a seahorse …”
-
After yesterday's farm trip, #sonTwo bought #GS3 a $5 toy tractor (in familiar John Deere green and gold colors). I know he'll be playing farmer for the next couple of days.
-
#sonTwo and his wife took #GS3 and #GS4 to a farm of some type. The 2 year old got to feed and pet goats and ponies, and to touch a tractor. He almost got nose to nose with a goat.
Sweaty boy, though. It must be hot and humid there.
The younger child watched and smiled.
-
Target has books in the ‘Captain Underpants’ series on sale for $8 and books in the ‘Dog Man’ series on sale for $9 ($3 below normal price).
However, they don’t have ‘A Tale of Two Kitties’ or ‘Dog Man and Cat Kid’ in stock. Those are the two Dog Man books I’m missing for #GD2.
I still do not have a list of which books #A1 already has, so he’s going to have to wait. #Daddy_A is still too worried about the medical issue to either get me a list himself or hand the phone to his son and say “take photos of the book covers” and then send them to me.
Meanwhile, #sonTwo has committed to read them to #GS3 if I send them. Which means he’s likely to get some of the books.
