how are you feeling about the FNG pause?
We knew it would (will) eventually end. There is only one other person in the group that is younger than me. We are calling it a "pause" while a couple of regulars focus on health issues. One is doing care for a family member that is in the final stage of cancer and the another FNG member is going to have surgery. Neither of them is up for hosting the group.
How did your DS9 do at your DDs?
He did very well. Since DGD6 is here so often, DS9 is used to being with her at night. They don't sleep in the same bed, but they do frequently sleep in the same room. DGD6 has a raised twin bed at her home with an area to play underneath. DS9 slept on the floor under DGD6 bed. DS9 said DD told him that she was going to get him a bed. DD lives just a few blocks from us and I think that gave DS9 confidence to stay there. He knows he can walk home if he needs to.
DH and I decided today that we are going to get DS9 a phone. We want him to be able to call/text us anytime. I have a couple old phone that I'll be charging and checking to see if they will work for DS9 to use. Once I confirm they will work then I'll buy a case for them and activate the phone.
