Logan in November 2014

Logan is just a sweetheart.  He is at that age where you just love listening to him talk because you never know what he will say.  He tends to say every single word and very clearly.  So, instead of "dunno" he will say "I did not know that".  So sweet.  He also is usually pretty honest.  If he was crying or scared or whatever, he owns up to it.

Logan is still enjoying preschool.  As soon as he wakes up, he wants to know if it is a preschool day.  He is pretty happy either way.  He likes going and he likes his days at home.  When I pick him up from preschool, he always asks if I brought him any food.  Even with a snack at preschool, this child is ALWAYS hungry.  Then, he tells me about the story they read, the craft they did, and what they ate for snack.  He is pretty convinced that the other kids don't play with him, but I'm not so sure.  There are no girls in his class, so it must be pretty busy in there!  He has been making lots of ornaments and cute things for Christmas and he is so proud to put them on the Christmas tree.

We are trying potty training again and it's going better.  He still has about 0 interest in pooping on the potty, but as long as we aren't out and about and really busy in something, he will pee in the potty pretty well.  He really loves the Pull-ups that we bought and loves to sort them into piles based on type.  He wants to do this pretty much every day.

Logan is really into sorting and playing games.  He likes to play matching games the most, but also Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, and Spot It.  He really loves to play Zingo and Go Fish as well.  He still loves to be read to.  He enjoys playing with toys - super heros, cars, and trains, but only if I am there watching.  Getting him to play independently since Noah was born is pretty hard.

He likes to help clean and feed Joe.

He got a big twin size bed from a friend down the street who was selling it.  He LOVES it.  He feels so grown up and was so proud of his new sheets and pillow.  He is easy to put to sleep now (Katsu puts him to bed) and he sleeps snugly in their all night long and never bother us.  AWESOME!

Logan had a really nasty stomach bug the week of Thanksgiving, but is thankfully all better.  I hope he does not catch the croup.

He is loving the Christmas countdown and the advent calendars, the goodies, and all things Christmas.  Every time I turn around, he has turned on the Christmas lights.

Fun Things This Month ...
- Charlotte's Web
- trip to the Aquarium and to the historical museum in Beaufort.
- Shichigosan - we got family pictures taken in the morning and the boys went to a baptism and in the evening, we all went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant which the boys loved.
- Stake Conference -Too bad it was raining or we would have spent more time in New Bern.  It still took 6 hours total for the whole day!
- Thanksgiving Day was a bust.  Logan ended up sick, so we stayed at home but still took over food to the party we were supposed to go to.  Boys enjoyed watching the parade and the food, more or less.
- Church Christmas party - they ate treats, watched part of the Polar Express, and took a little Polar Express ride (really a hay ride on a trailer) to go meet Santa Claus.  Boys seemed to enjoy it.
- ECU football game.  They had lots of fun, even though it was cold and super late (Game started at 7:30 on a weeknight!).  They stayed for about half of it.  ECU has been doing really well this year, so it was fun.
- enjoying lots of treats in December.
- loving Advent, Christmas Countdown, and our first year with Elf on the Shelf after much begging.  Logan is so excited to get to blow out the pink candle, since that is the 3rd one.
- Lots of work parties for Katsu.  Logan has been loving all the food.  That kid can eat!
