My parents-in-law and two sisters-in-law were in town for a few days. They got to see Gusi and he got to see them. I was really happy to see that he took to them quite easily. He was, of course, drawn to his Grandpa for many of the same reasons he's drawn to his father: they both let him do just about anything. It was obvious though that Grandpa needs to move closer to us to stay in better Grandpa-shape since 30 minutes with Gusi had him worn out. Gusi would of course love to have another version of his dad around all the time so we're hoping Grandpa and Grandma visit us in Senegal soon.
I can't help but realize how incredibly similar the three generations of Grandpa, Papa and Gusi are. It's uncanny to see each of them trying to figure something out: they each get this look on their face like nothing but extreme concentration will do. Grandma and Aunties Megan and Beth were loads of fun too, especially when we went out to dinner and they were each entertaining him at the restaurant.
I just hope that Gusi gets to see his family as much as possible after we move to Africa.
