lnxw48a1: 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!) “Da https://nu.federati.net/notice/3343928

lnxw48a1: 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.

lnxw48a1: #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.

lnxw48a1: 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.

lnxw48a1: I like watching the persistence of small children. When #GD2 was this age, they had a wooden porch about two feet high. She wanted to get off the porch and go to the fence. Every few minutes, she would try to make a break for it and we’d have to catch her before she ran off the edge. She would come from different directions, be facing somewhere else and suddenly turn and run. https://nu.federati.net/notice/3339749

lnxw48a1: Tonight's dinner was a beef roast and macaroni & cheese. Mac & cheese is normally one if #GS3's favorite foods, but he wasn't very interested this time. He tossed most of it down on the floor, and the dogs ate it. He loved his dessert--apple slices--until he got near the end and fed the rest to the puppy.

But after he was rested, he called me dadda (same name he calls both parents). I'm at 12K steps today, and my steps are a lot bigger than his. I swear I never had his level of energy.
