Daddy is back!

Day 5 of 5 is done! Jon got home this evening in time to eat dinner with Logan and I, play with Logan and his trucks, and put him down for bed. Logan was, of course, Mr. Happy all night long - but I'll take it!

We had another rough morning before school/work. Logan woke up about an hour earlier than usual, which wasn't terrible since I needed us to get out of the house earlier than usual anyway, but it was still exhausting considering both he and Odin were antsy all night and between the two, kept waking me up every hour until waaaaaay too late.

I can't remember exactly all the things that set Logan off this morning. I think the biggest was when it was time to put on his socks and shoes to get ready to leave the house. He thew a fit, not wanting to put his shoes on (knowing he'd have to leave for school I guess?). I finally ended up carrying him kicking and screaming to the car. He cried and screamed in the back of the car for awhile until I finally got him focused on all of the cars, trucks, buses, vans, cops, etc. that we were passing by on our drive to school. He eventually warmed up to the game of pointing out the next cool truck to pass by (everything was a garbage truck this morning) or school bus.

The only problem with this game is it can sometimes backfire on you. For example, School Bus A, riding alongside us for a few blocks, decides to turn LEFT. However, Mommy and Logan need to turn RIGHT. And School Bus A tumbles along, growing smaller and smaller.

Logan then screams at me "NO MOMMY! No Mommy! This way!" (pointing left, toward the School Bus A)

*sigh*

Soooo very glad Jon is back home. :)
