Grandpa John and Grandma Judy sent Harry and Jeremy a Valentine package that arrived today in the mail. It's nice timing, because just last week Harry was asking why he doesn't get any mail, perhaps remembering when he used to get either Highlights or Ladybug magazine (he stopped reading those and we didn't renew, but maybe it's time to start them again). Then, coincidentally, on Saturday he and Jeremy both got a card from Grandpa Hal and Grandma Shirley and the package today. Harry got a new harmonica and Jeremy a squishy mulitple-balls-within-a-ball that lights up when squeezed. While it's that harmonica that will (already did) likely turn out to be the longer lasting and more rewarding gift, it was the light-up ball that immediately captured the boys' attention. With anything like that, it's straight to the dark depths of Harry's closet they go to "flash." And, once flashing and especially since there was just one ligh-up ball and two boys, it didn't take long for them to come running out to get both of their flashlights. They've done this with light-up pens, light-up pins, and several flashlight and they're both as much a sucker for a flashlight as the cat!
