    Hair colors are the thing now. #GD-1 chose pink, #GD-2 chose purple, #A-1 chose blue. As far as I’m aware, #A-2 and #A-3 are leaving their hair in its natural color. As are #GS-3, #GS-4, #GS-5.

    That’s ages 1-16.

    I don't actually see that a 3 year old could even get that heavy. All of my grandkids except #A2 rapidly lost weight once they could crawl. And even he, at 6 years old, is not that heavy ... not even half that weight.

    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.)

    Got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097HL621T for #A1, #A2, #A3. So far, I'm hearing that they really like them and use them constantly.

    #GS3 and #GS4 are a little younger, so probably too young to get much out of walkie talkies, but I found a pair with Star Wars / Baby Yoda markings ... they like that show, so I got them their own set.

    Not all baby boomers grew up with toy train sets. Or at least not much of one. I think one brother had a small oval loop electric train that stopped working within 20-30 minutes of opening it. No trains for any of the rest of us.

    On the other hand, we had toy cars. One brother had Hot Wheels. I had Matchbox. Another brother had Johnny Lightning. I cannot remember what the other brothers had.

    We also had original Legos, before the special sets with single use pieces. Legos and shag carpets together are the enemy of shoeless feet.

    A few years ago, I was able to purchase over 100 Hot Wheels cars and a couple of trach sets for #A1 and #A2. I still send about 10 cars per year.

    I bought the stuffed animals, but I did not buy the Hot Wheels remote control Batmobile. Even though #A2 likes Hot Wheels cars and likes Batman (and Spiderman) and I'm sure he would like this, I feel like he probably already gets too much electronic stimulation. I want to send him things that are still useful without batteries.

    LOL. When I ordered "It's Hard to be Five", I sent it to my SoCal home, not to #Daddy_A's home. #A2 is just going to have to wait a while.

    A new cycle begins! I found a book, "It's Hard to be Five", for #A2. Now I'll be looking for something for #A3 as well.

    #A1 just got the #MaxMeow series, so he's set for a little while.

    I should go to a Best Buy store and see this in person. #A2 and #A3 can share it if I decide to purchase.

    Planned to have a #videochat with #A1 and #A3 (also #A2, if he would be in the mood to talk), but it did not happen.

    Planned to talk about Dog Man books.

    This is a trick that he should have caught onto by now, but so far he hasn't let on that he figured it out. We talk about it and then within a week or two, he has what we talked about.

    We talk about plenty of things that he's not getting, but we do talk about the items that will be in the box.

    My grandson #A2 would have been a Kindergarten student if he'd been attending here, but since his birthday is after August 1st, he gets to wait until next year.

    Both he and #A3 are enjoying Pre-K. Meanwhile, #A1 is a big 3rd grader.

    Sent messages to sons asking to schedule short #videochat sessions tomorrow.

    I normally have one with #sonOne and #GD1 and #GD2 (on rare occasions daughter-in-law pops in for a few minutes) Sunday afternoons, but recently, his work schedule has interfered.

    I normally have them Fridays and Sundays with #sonTwo and #GS3 and #GS4 (sometimes daughter-in-law, but she's often busy), but we missed tonight's session.

    Sessions with #Daddy_A, #A1, #A2, and #A3 are infrequent, and he often has device issues that prevent it. (That is, his iPhone and iPad don't display notifications or make sounds ... he even took the phone in for service; they couldn't correct it, so they replaced it.)

    I can't do the school supplies thing this year, but I did find the wide Kindergarten pencils at #Target, so I bought a few for #A2. #A1 will get standard yellow No. 2 pencils.

    #GD1 and #GD2 will also get a few pencils.

    #Daddy_A tells me that the kids are in #SoCal visiting their mother's relatives. I'm not expecting it, but it would be nice if they called and offered me 2-3 hours with #A, #A2, #A3.

    We could go hang out at In-N-Out or something.

    I was finally able to mess around in #Fortnite on my #Switch. I'm a long way from being a valued ally that can keep up with my grandkids (right now, both #A1 and his younger brother #A2 play it). But the little bit I saw (story mode) was okay.
