Charles is a rather shy boy who doesn’t take well to being with people other than Mom and Dad (and sometimes not even Dad). This is a bit stressful for the grand parents when we are visiting because Charles doesn’t like to hang out with them either. For Grandma Charles eventually warms up to her enough to be held about the time that it’s time to return. Gramps experienced the same issue while we were in Texas. However, Gramps instictively knew how to get Charles to sit on his lap (or perhaps he reads his weblog) — Gramps fired up Microsoft Pinball on his computer and Charles was willing to tolerate him as long as he could watch Gramps playing pinball. Corwin as drawn in as well so we had the three of them bonding around the warm glow of the phosphors.
