Jack has adored "Grandpa" John for a long time. He speaks of him often and looks forward to seeing him every other weekend. When for one reason or other we have had to skip a week, Jack always protests.
I'm not sure that enthusiasm was evident to John, though, because Jack would talk about John for days before we got together, asked questions about him and made it clear that seeing Grandpa John was of the highest priority -- and then when John arrived, Jack watched him like a hawk -- but rarely said a word to him.

Jack is an extremely cuddly boy, but only with Dad and Mamma. No matter how much he likes other people, he saves his cuddles for us. Even his adored Auntie K and Mormor (Rod's sister and mother -- yes, I know it means maternal Grandma, never mind) has only gotten one hug each that they really worked for!
As he gets older, more confident, and more socially comfortable, though, Jack has made a real effort to get closer to John. I think it has dawned on him that he lost two grandpas before he was even born--best he take good dare of the one he has left!!!
That makes his decision to plop down on a bench with "Grandpa" all the more telling!
