    Last night's #videochat was mostly about getting some time with #GS4. He's standing and working on walking and babbling at Grandpa. He believes that any time someone eats, he should eat also.

    #GS3 is at the "no, I don't like that" stage, so no matter what dinner is, he doesn't want it until he is enticed to try it. He was just starting to eat as we started the videochat.

    The younger child kept trying to go over to where his brother was sitting and eating, so he could try to eat with him.

    At the end, GS4 went to bed, GS3 decided he wasn't going to say goodbye. We hung up. GS3 started crying because he didn't get to say goodbye, so we reconnected, but he still refused to say it.

    Got to have a short #videochat with #GS3 and #GS4. The older child was unhappy at first because they turned off his cartoon. Then he felt better and told me about one of his Dog Man books.

    And apparently, his books about dinosaur-construction equipment hybrids are called Diggersaurus.

    We're going to finish our chat tomorrow, since the younger child needed to go to bed.

    #GS3 was just talking about a long neck excavator. That may just be his name for it.

    His book is about dinosaur-construction equipment hybrids. Two great things that go great together, like peanut butter and chocolate.

    Whatever "Montessori toys" are, #GS3 and #GS4 have been having a blast since yesterday.

    I expect that they are old-style wooden blocks and things like the rings on the vertical rod.

    Whatever they are, I had them shipped and they love them.

    I remember “Curious George” from way back. Apparently, the books inspired a TV show, because #GS3 was telling me about George and the man in yellow in our #videochat. I will have to look at the books 📚 and see whether they are something I can buy him.

    During our #videochat, #GS4 grabbed #sonTwo's Diet Coke and spilled it all over himself. Prior to that, #GS3 felt that the younger child was competing for attention that only he deserved.

    Grandpa must make sure that both of them know they are loved and that there is enough attention for both of them.

    Daughter-in-law: Can you smile for Grandpa?

    #GS3: No!

    DIL: Why not? He got you the sand. Can you say "thank you" to Grandpa?

    GS3: (Not looking up from his playtime) Thank you, Grandpa.

    A few days from now, when we have our next #videochat, he'll be reading one of his books to me and holding up a toy to tell me about it.

    New videos: #GS3 playing with “kinetic sand”:{https://kineticsand.com/} and a toy bulldozer. Daughter-in-law is smart enough to get him a big plastic container for playing with the sand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_sand

    1. Hydrophobic sand
      Hydrophobic sand (or magic sand) is a toy made from sand coated with an hydrophobic compound. The presence of the hydrophobic compound causes the grains of sand to adhere to one another and form cylinders (to minimize surface area) when exposed to water, and form a pocket of air around the sand. The pocket of air makes magic sand unable to get wet. A variation of this, kinetic sand, has several of the same properties, but acts like wet sand that will not dry out. Hydrophobic sand, whether the wet or dry type, will not mix with water. History The earliest reference to waterproof sand is in the 1915 book The Boy Mechanic Book 2 published by Popular Mechanics. The Boy Mechanic states waterproof sand was invented by East Indian magicians. The sand was made by mixing heated sand with melted wax. The wax would repel water when the sand was exposed to water. Magic sand was originally developed to trap ocean oil spills near the shore. This was done by sprinkling magic sand on floating petroleum, which would then mix with the oil and make it heavy enough to sink. Due to the expense of production, however...
    2. Kinetic Sand
      The Original Squeezable Sand You Can’t Put Down - It flows through fingers just like real sand and leaves them completely dry, but when pressed together, it sticks to itself and keeps its shape!

    #sonTwo and his wife called and said that the planetarium projector is likely to be #GS3’s favorite gift of the year. He spent an hour last night before bed watching stars ✨ and planets 🪐 , then got out of bed and brought the projector into his bed.

    So far, no feedback from #A1 … they may be holding the kids’ items for Christmas.

    #GD2 contacted me directly to tell me that she liked her gifts 🎁, but no details.

    Reportedly, #GS3 is excited about his new toy firetruck. The only way he could have liked it better is if it came with dinosaur firefighters in space suits.

    (Likes dinosaurs, space, and trucks / heavy equipment.)

    I'm surprised it wasn't appealed. Even though the state capital is in Cole County, there's got to be a state supreme court.

    In the meantime, I suspect that #GD1 and #GD2 will continue to be home schooled because of such idiocy. I know it is still a few years away, but I will recommend the same for #GS3 and #GS4 when they approach school age.

    We held tonight's #videochat too late for #GS4 ... he was asleep. We truncated it because #GS3 was also getting sleepy.

    I blame software updates and required reboots for this.

    #GS3 is very talkative tonight. And excited.

    We talked about the weather, about rabbits, and some topic that I couldn’t understand.

    #GS3 got his dinosaur sweatshirt today. He got to wear it as he helped #sonTwo with the leaf blower.

    This kid loves machinery. They probably would have gotten more work done with a simple rake, but the boy wouldn't have enjoyed trying to use a rake as much.

    #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.

    #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 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).
