Logan is missing preschool and has started asking for play dates with friends. I need to get to know more of the kids around here that are his age in the neighborhood. He really likes his friend Luke and Lucy and wants to go over to their houses all the time to ride bikes with them. He doesn't actually seem to play a ton with Lucy and is just getting into playing with his friends, but it is still cute.
Logan got Seth's old bike and we put the training wheels on and he is both obsessed and fast! He wants to ride it all day long. And he is pretty tricky. He is pretty good about staying on the driveway when we are riding it around the house. But when we ride to friends or to the pool, he is off. He crosses streets without us and without looking and then gets grounded from his bike. I guess this whole thing will be a learning process for him. He is in love with it though.
Logan is still enjoying tball. He gets the idea of playing and listening to his coach. His first impulse when he is on base is to try to catch the ball instead of riding to the next base. After a game, he will spend the next few days wearing his glove and continually ask me if it is on the right hand. I am glad we signed him up even though Tball itself is completely ridiculous and only vaguely resembles baseball.
Logan is loving the pool. He can go all over the pool in his puddlejumper. He is a little sad that I didn't sign him up for swim lessons, but I think he will be good next year. I can't really take him out of the puddlejumper and let him practice unless Katsu is there anyways. He loves to play with toys in the pool, especially anything that will shoot water. He also loves to ride his bike there.
His appetite is waning some. He would live off cheese sticks, berries, and snacks and is kind of fussy towards dinner. He will eat too much a lot and then complain of a stomach ache.
Logan spends most of his days willfully disobeying our every command and then saying "I am" when we tell him what to do (even though he is decidedly not doing what we asked). He usually devolves into fits once a day. He is feisty, most especially at church, and will try to drive us crazy and push our buttons. He loves to climb on top of the cars, build forts, hide from us, go outside without permission, read books, play with race cars and Legos, play games, try to cheat at games, etc. etc. But he has the best smile, will tell you all day how much he loves you (though it often seems to involve teasing and hurting), and we love him.
Fun Things This Month
- Children's day dinner at a Japanese restaurant with Katsu and the older boys
- Sick and missing muffins with Mom - he was so disappointed!
- Celebrating at Andrew's Lego star wars birthday party and Seth's soccer birthday party. Logan just wanted to be in on all the action and keeps asking when his birthday is. He is having a hard time waiting.
- Going to lots of baseball games for Seth.
- Pajama party at the book fair at the elementary school - he even got his own book for free.
- Pool opened - they had free slushes and free hot dogs from a local restaurant and it was a lot of fun. The boys had a blast!
- Bubble party for the last day of preschool. I came and Logan seemed to have a lot of fun. I didn't think he would miss preschool much, but he seems to miss the playing with kids every day. He loved it more than he realized!
- Cookout at the park for Memorial Day. Logan had fun eating, playing at the park, and trying out all the games - frisbee games, trying to pull out all the tissues from a box of tissues.
- Busch Gardens on Memorial Day - Logan and Andrew and Seth went with Katsu for a day trip there. Logan did well and had a lot of fun. He didn't want to ride a roller coaster, but they had lots of fun on the other rides and seeing the shows.
- Logan was going to go to Sesame Street live, but threw a huge fit and so he stayed at home instead. I think he was secretly scared what Elmo would look like big.
- Korean Cultural Fair - pretty boring, but Logan loved watching videos of martial arts.
