Logan has a pretty strong opinion about things. He especially wants to be able to do everything that Andrew and Seth can do. He pays a lot of attention to everyone else and tries to mimic everything they do. He also likes to help do chores and things like that, too. Whenever we brush our teeth, he rushes to the bathroom, climbs on top of the toilet, turns on the water and cries for his toothbrush. When we start getting ready to go out, he runs and gets shoes out and starts handing them to the right people. When he decides its time to make bread, he gets out the bread machine pan or the bread pan. So cute!
Logan is pretty athletic. He can throw and kick really well for his age. He loves to throw. His favorite game the last few days is throwing baskets in a basketball hoop. He has his own little one, but now he loves the big boy one. He wants me to lift him up over and over so he can dunk it. He also loves to play soccer. He usually wants to throw the ball rather than kick it, though.
Logan is starting to really enjoy story time. He loves to bring me books and read to him. It is also usually the first thing he does if he wakes up in a good mood. His favorites are “1 2 3 in the sea” and “Freight Train” and “Little duck”. He tries to mimic the choo choo sound I make when we read Freight Train and he said “truck” this week when he brought over a truck book.
Logan seems like he’s really expanding his speech. He is jargoning a lot – making lots of noises that sound like speech but aren’t. He also is saying more words. Consistently, he will say hug, hat, hot, Mom, Dad, hi, and hey. I think he has also said Andrew, kitty, and truck.
Logan LOVES to eat. He eats so much it is unbelievable sometimes. I guess that is why he is so big. He loves eggs for breakfast, but will also eat cereal. He loves berries to the point where he screams until he gets some and his fair share. He also likes bananas, apples, oranges, pears. He LOVES raisins and canned oranges and will constantly bring them out of the pantry (when’s he not hungry, he’s mostly content to build towers of cans in the pantry). He loves all things dough – especially when I am cooking them. But he likes muffins and bagels and bread and crackers. He is my first kid that likes to dip – he LOVES hummus and salad dressing and loves to dip in them. He likes vegetables, especially corn, peans, mushrooms, edamame, beans, green beans, asparagus, roasted peppers. He will try pretty much anything. He loves string cheese and yogurt. He still is very skeptical of ice cream – too cold and he does not like that. He instantly recognizes anything snacky or sweet and wants it. Basically, he loves food.
He still is loving his shape sorter. He can get any shape in, but usually needs help figuring out the right hole. He can stack three blocks and loves to do it. He has been enjoying playing race track and Trio with the boys. He loves to play cars and even tries to play army. He likes to make noises with his Little People toys. He likes to make music and especially to dance with me. He is always game to try the drums, piano, or harmonica. He mostly just likes to climb on everything and spends 50% of the time, climbing onto the kitchen table or screaming to get down from the kitchen table. He loves playing chase, tag, or hide and seek. He loves being outside, playing at parks, throwing snowballs. He is pretty good at keeping himself occupied if the room has enough things to distract him. He is not so keen on the stroller, because he would rather walk himself and wants to do everything himself – especially stairs and pushing buttons in the elevator.
Logan’s sleep has been pretty poor this last week or two. He is still struggling between 1 and 2 naps and trying to get on a good nap routine. I think he is just so busy having fun in life, he doesn’t want to sleep.
Logan does the cutest little things. He raises both arms up high when he is excited. He also loves to laugh and laughs a lot. He gets very excited when he sees Katsu walking home out the window and then gives him a long hug when he gets home. He always gives me a fond greeting when I’ve been gone – even if it is just a short stop at the bathroom.
Logan is just growing up so fast I can’t believe it. He is our little toddler now.
Fun Things This Month
- Valentine’s Day – Pretty low key for Logan. He got a chocolate bear which he loved and otherwise just tried to get into the boys’ valentines.
- Magic House – with just me and the boys. Logan had a lot of fun.
- Zoo – two or three times. Logan is starting to really love the zoo. He gets so excited when he sees all the animals. He is a little scared when we go on the carousel, but he loves the Children’s Zoo and likes being up close to all the animals.
- Chinese New Year Party – we went to our friends party again and it was fun. Logan was wandering around and getting into everything. He didn’t eat much food and he was scared of the fireworks, but seemed to have fun otherwise.
- Snow – Logan hasn’t got to play in it as much as the other boys, but he LOVES to throw snowballs and just walk around in it. He thinks it is so exciting when it is snowing outside and loves to stand at the window and watch.
- Passport – Logan applied for his first passport. He was teary-eyed in the pictures. It is so hard to get those!
- Reading night at Seth’s school. Logan loved playing around in the preschool room during story time and also LOVED the beanbag toss. He worked so hard to throw his bean bags in … granted, he was pretty close.
- Movie at the History Museum – Logan enjoyed the snacks, flirting with all the people there, and running around, but we spent most of the movie time running around the museum. He really enjoyed the historical exhibits.
