Clean Up

Logan was pitching a royal fit this morning because I wanted to put on his black sneakers (with velcro) instead of the blue and white ones (with shoelaces). I finally caved in because I didn't really feel like trying to argue with an almost 2-yr old and I knew he wouldn't yet understand the concept of "matching" black shoes with a black shirt (let alone how much easier it is to put on shoes with velcro!). All in due time.

In any case, once we were done putting on his shoes, I told him to take his black shoes and put them away in his room. I wasn't sure how far he'd get but I figured I'd give it a try.

Later, I walked into his room, having forgotten the instructions I had given him earlier, and found his shoe drawer left open with his black sneakers nicely piled on top. It made me laugh - that he knew where to put them and where they belonged, and that he couldn't bother with shutting the drawer or figuring out how to make the shoes fit. :)

Sicky

It's been awhile since any of us have been hit by a bug so I guess we were due. Nothing terrible, but it does seem like Logan's down with a little something. He had a really hard time sleeping last night - waking up every hour or two (lucky us!). So, Jon stayed home with him today just in case it got worse. Luckily, he's been in pretty good spirits all day. He's been a little more clingy than usual and running a slight temperature (by touch, whenever we take his temp however, it's nothing unusually high). But other than that, he's been his usual active happy self.

So, he's either sick or perhaps, it's just the change in weather? (thank GOD for cooler weather! I'm actually glad to see the fall has finally come) ;-)

Homeward Bound

Had a nice weekend visiting with several of Jon's family. Logan especially loved getting to know his older cousin Zachary (5 yrs old). The two boys were inseparable! Will upload pics later this week.

Family Reunion

On our way to Dillon Beach (a couple hrs north of the city) for a family reunion this weekend.

As we were packing up the car to head out, Logan climbed into the car, snapped himself into his seat, pointed to the driver's seat and said "Go!!". Jeez. Someone's impatient to see his aunts, uncles and grandparents I guess! ;-)

Nightmares?

Logan and I are at the park again. Doing more playing than watching Daddy at practice. ;-)

Last night Logan had a rough time sleeping, waking up crying every couple of hours. One of the times I went into his room he was face down crying into his mattress, still mostly asleep, but crying "my car! my car!". I can only imagine he was having a bad dream about someone taking away his precious car.

When I was thinking about posting on his bad dream today I realized I tend to post more about the bad than the good! Truth be told, we've been having a really good couple of weeks. Logan's finally found a rhythm at school, at home, with his sleep, etc. It's been very nice and we've all been basking in his wonderful behavior. But who wants to read about the good stuff all the time? So very boring. ;-)

Employee Discount

A local sports store sponsored a 20% discount "party" to Microsoft employees tonight, so we dropped by to get a few items for Jon's rugby habit.

Mr. Logan also scored an awesome winter jacket and beanie. :)

Eeewwww!

Total bed head hair this morning. Had to share... ;-)

Logan's new word is "ewww" for any food he doesn't like. It's usually accompanied with a toss of said food across the table. It's pretty cute - for right now. I'm sure it won't be after the 547th time.
