Today was Logan's birthday. We spent the weekend celebrating. On Saturday, we went to Seth's soccer game, then we came home and got ready for Logan's party. I really am out of energy (especially after all the Halloween festivities), so we wanted it to be really low key. Running around outside and eating some cake. Of course, the weather turned cold and windy and rainy yesterday, so we decided to be inside. And I only wanted to invite a few of his friends (plus, I never got around to inviting the kids from preschool), but then half of them didn't come.
So, the party was ... different, but it was fun. One little girl showed up half an hour early, another about 15 minutes late, and then the last little boy about an hour late or something. And one kid didn't end up coming. And apparently everyone was kind of cranky because of naps and stuff. But it ended up being fun. They played and then we played a few little games (duck, duck, goose; playing musical instruments; bubbles, etc). Then, we had cake. Logan for the last couple months said he wanted a pizza cake. So, I made him a cake that looked like a pizza. He really liked it. He got a toy motorcycle, car, book, and game. It was just the right size.
Today, we had cookies and ice cream after lunch (the rest of the cookies are going to preschool tomorrow) and he found the rest of the presents - we hid them to make it more fun. We got Logan a scooter and my parents got him Zingo. So, while Katsu put together the scooter, we played Zingo. Logan is really starting to get into games and it is fun. He has loved playing memory games and Candy Land lately, which is good. Sometimes, I only have patience to play games or read books to the kids. Playing just takes too much energy sometimes. Seth was freaking out because he didn't have a present to give to Logan, so he gave him the present the boys picked out for Noah when he was born.
Logan had a lot of fun for Halloween. Surprisingly, he stuck to one outfit the whole time - he dressed as a tiger. We went to the trunk or treat last week. Then, Tuesday we went to the library Trick or treating ... totally not worth it, but the boys' liked it. Then, Thursday they work costumes and went to the school's fall fest - why everything has to be this week, I have no idea! Logan enjoyed playing all the games, but it was sure crowded. And then a neighborhood party and then trick or treating. He sat next to his friend Lucy at the party and then loved going trick or treating. Katsu dropped him off because he was tired and then he sat on the porch and helped pass out candy. He loved doing it. When the other boys came back, Logan wanted to stay and pass out candy more than going trick or treating more. It was a fun evening and Logan loved all the candy!
Logan has really starting tantrumming and being difficult again. I guess it had to strike again sometimes. His tantrums always start with him wanting something "right now" and then it just devolves from there to hysterical crying. After a while ... like 20 minutes to an hour he calms down, but geez ... it is tiring. He also has become very difficult to dress, brush teeth, put on shoes. He just wants to run away. Logan also has like the huge gag reflex - always has - so it is so hard to brush his teeth or wash his face to begin with.
The rest of the time, he is pretty sweet. And he is a pretty helpful kid. The most likely to actually put things away and things like that. He is still loving preschool. He had his preschool party on Friday. He was crying when Katsu dropped him off because he thought I was going to preschool with him right then. But I did show up for the party and they ate their treats and it was pretty cute. He was excited for me to be there. I don't know how much he actually plays with the other kids, but he seems to enjoy it.
Fun Things This Month:
- lots of soccer games to watch. He loves to play soccer with Katsu on the sidelines and can't wait until he can play on a team, too.
- general conference. We had candy for the key words. Logan thought it was pretty fun.
- seeing a fire truck at preschool. Logan liked to look ... but didn't want to go on.
