Logan is in the fits age. He needs to throw one huge screaming, on the floor, will not be consoled fit a day, at least. Over who knows what. He also is very loud. Very loud. He has one volume - loud - and often tries to do loud obnoxious things at the worst times - most usually in sacrament meeting. He will burst into theme songs or just talk at the top of his lungs. But he is also sweet and well-behaved some of the time. He hates to share things, tends to take things, is too rough with Noah. But he also plays really well by himself, loves to build things, loves to make his bed into a fort and hide under it, loves hide and seek, loves to read books, loves going to preschool and playing with friends, but also loves "home" days. He wants nothing better than to sit in my lap and be read to, but he tends to wiggle and jump and fall all over me and I am left with bruises by the end of it. He loves to eat, though it's starting to get less so ... but he could live on snacks and cheese. He has a way of trying to (and often succeeding) get his way at everything, prizes and treats at every turn.
Preschool and sunbeams are going well. He is happy to go in by himself and seems to really need that independence. Yay! He is starting to have friends at both. We probably should have some play dates for him, but he mostly plays with his brothers and the neighborhood friends.
He loves to play outside. Draw with chalk, ride his scooter, play on the neighbor's trampoline (trying to convince me that we need a trampoline). He likes to help in the garden, climb on the climbing structure, swing. He is trying to learn to ride a bike without training wheels.
He can cut with scissors and trace a maze and likes to work on both. He seems to know the exact story line of the hundreds of books we own. He loves to watch "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" on the computer when he uses the potty. He loves M&Ms and cheese sticks.
He is still huge - in 4T clothes and sometimes, I have a hard time telling him and Seth apart from the back. He hates to wear shoes and flings them off as fast as he can. He never makes it through sacrament meeting with his shoes still on. The car is usually full of his socks and shoes that he takes off as soon as he gets in.
He just started Tball on Saturday. He seemed to have fun, but you can tell that listening to a coach and following instructions (and trying to pay attention to the ball when it's easier to just zone off) is something new for him. His glove came in the mail later that day (he needed one for the other hand since he throws with his left) and he wants to hold it all the time.
Fun Things in March and April
- Starting T-ball
- Friend's birthday party at Jump Fit.
- Ward Chili cookoff and talent show
- Corned Beef and Cabbage for St. Patrick's Day - I also made a little treasure hunt with clues for the boys to find some candy leprachaun hats that I had made. The boys loved it and had a lot of fun finding it hiding in Katsu's closet.
- Neighborhood easter egg hunt - boys rode their bikes over and grabbed tons of eggs. A cold day, but a lot of fun. Logan got a cute picture with the Easter Bunny.
- Katsu was out of town a couple times, so extra time with mom (and more TV time than usual).
- A sort of abbreviated Easter celebration week - we talked about Palm Sunday, watched some of the church Easter videos, did a Jesus dinner on Thursday and had hot cross buns, but Katsu was out of town most of the week and then he was home for a day and then we were out of town, so it was kind of crazy.
- Easter egg hunts at school - they all came home with tons of candy and toys and eggs. Craziness!
- SPRING BREAK!!! On Friday morning, we drove to Williamsburg and then we went straight to Busch Gardens. We bought season passes and were able to get free ones for Seth and Logan. The first day, we went to the first Sesame Street place and did all the rides and ended up waiting in line for awhile. Once, we got outside of that part of the park, we were able to see lots of other things. There were rides for the kids everywhere and lots of fun ones. Seth went on everything he was tall enough for. He even went on a water ride (Pompeii) that I think was a little scary for him. We even got to see animals and watch a couple shows - Irish Dancing and a wild animal encounter show. After we were all thoroughly worn out, we checked into our hotel. We were staying in a vacation rental and had two big bedrooms and a full kitchen and a patio. The boys LOVED it. We went to Trader Joes and got all of our favorite foods and ate like kings over the weekend. The second day, we had breakfast and then went to Busch Gardens again. This time, we had a better idea where to go and we didn't wait in as many lines. We got to ride everything and it was really fun. The boys all had a blast. Once we were worn out and had done everything, we went back to the resort. The boys all went to mini golf and the pool while Noah took a nap. They LOVED it, especially the mini golf. Then, they came home and all slept in one of the bedrooms and got to watch Nick and all the cable shows. They were in paradise. And even better - on Sunday morning, they woke up and the Easter bunny had come. They ran all over searching for eggs. We packed up, checked out, and drove to Great Wolf Lodge and bought a wand and the boys worked together and did MagiQuest, for like 5 hours! By then, we beat the first dragon and were SO worn out!!! So, we drove back to NC to enjoy the rest of the spring break.
- The rest of the spring break, we just relaxed.
- Logan and I went to go see Curious George (along with Logan). It was a musical, a lot like the TV show. Logan was pretty tired, but he said he wouldn't fall asleep and he didn't. He seemed to enjoy it as much as he could for being so tired. It was pretty cute and surprisingly well done.
- Pirate Fest - the boys got to see a BMX show while chowing on free chips and drinks. It's always fun to see the whole town dressed up as pirates and we even saw a live mermaid this year! The boys played games and earned candy along the river and then we cooled off with some ice cream. It was a lot of fun, even after two tiring soccer games!
- Camping with Dad and Andrew and Seth for a ward campout. The boys had a blast - smores, foil dinners, playing with friends, in the water, etc.
