The more the merrier

Mr. J really likes to be with people.  Since the family reunion in Gloucester, Mr. J has been fond of saying, "I want to go back to boston to stay at the same house with the same people."  He actually started being sad hours before leaving grandpa and grandma in Honolulu.  He cried on the plane, saying "I want to go back."

Then we had grandpa and grandma over - they found out about Mr. J's summer vacation and immediately booked tickets to come help with childcare.  Such a blessing!  Mr. J was so happy to introduce grandpa to Minecraft, and "zombify" his own photo.  Mr. J then went to Hawaii with mommy and grandpa and grandma to attend Ggrandma S's funeral.  After a couple of weeks with everyone, it was time to leave.  Mr. J wanted to turn the plane around.

Gong and Po came next, followed by Uncle J.  Each time, Mr. J treated everyone as if the live in the house full time.  He just loves to be with people.  The more the merrier.

Mr. J.'s newest favorite show:

Paw Patrol

Social little guy

Mommy and daddy hosted a get-together, with two other families who we have not seen since last summer (and 10 years before that).  Mr. J hardly knew the 5 kids [5 (boy),7 (girl) ; 7x2 (twin girls), 13 (boy)] who came, but had a lot of fun playing with them.  Towards the end, the girls got rowdy, and Mr. J. was playing with Duplos with daddy.  Mommy wondered if Mr. J. would feel left out, but when the kids left, Mr. J cried, "I wish every day was like today!"
