The twins stay overnight at Gramma's and Grampa's

Breakfast at Gramma's is very laid back.  No one bothers you about putting your feet on the table or about pushing yourself away from the table.  If Daddy were here, it would be another story.  I did not include the picture of Grampa's feet on the table.  The boys' parents are hopeful that Nathan and Andrew will understand, what happens at Gramma's has no application to home.  Part of the joy of being a grandparent is making sure things aren't too easy at home.  Nathan knows he's not supposed to push his chair away from the table, at least not until he's complimented the cook.  He's wondering if Gramma doesn't know the rules.

Nathan is heading down the ancestral path of the former Goedken engineers.  I discovered he knew how to work the locks of the high chair seat belts after repeatedly finding them locked.  I wondered if one of the boys had manged to slip of of it without my opening it, or if their grandfather was doing it, or if I was losing my mind.  Eventually, I caught Houdini in the act.  He will repeat this over and over as long as you're willing to open the locks. 

He's also into locking and unlocking my bookcase doors.  Keys are really interesting.  Hi Great-grandfather Lynch used to be able to pick locks.  I'm not sure how a policeman developed that skill.  I used to have three keys, but one went missing for a couple of weeks.  I found it eventually in the couch in their bedroom.  Hmmm..., I wonder how that got there?  Nathan's especially good at unlocking my heart.
