Curious Logan

One of Logan's favorite phrases these days is "What's this?" or the Chinese version "这个是什么？"

Whenever we read a book together Logan will usually interrupt every 5 seconds with "这个是什么？"

These days he's branching his interests from diggers to and insects.  James got him a DK insect book when Logan first started showing interest in spiders, but only later remembered that spiders are not insects!

Potty

We haven't even thought of potty training Logan yet but today he unexpectedly told James he needed to go "pee pee" before bedtime, and actually succeeded on the toilet.  We were all so amazed and proud of him.  Nathan was actually the one who said we should write it down, hence this blog post.

Garbage trucks

Logan had been into diggers, dump trucks and garbage trucks for quite some time now.  His favorite book is "Things That Go" by Richard Scarry.  His favorite day of the week is "garbage day" Friday.  His favorite videos on YouTube are different models of garbage trucks coming by to collect garbage.  His favorite thing to do at the park is digging in the sand pit (or wood chips area).  Because of Logan I am now noticing diggers everywhere we go as well!

Pony ride

Logan has done something that neither of his older brothers have attempted before: go on a pony ride!  We were at Lemos farm for the first time, and after watching other kids on the pony ride Logan was eager to try it himself.  During the ride he was happily looking around and saying "hi" to the ponies around him... no fear at all, a natural!

Vocal

Logan is talking up a storm these days and constantly picking up new words from the older brothers (or us).  At the playground when he sees somebody else's toy he would go up to say "share", but it's his own toy then very quick to say "mine".  He's also quick to say "sorry" but not sure if he means it yet.  Usually when he's getting into trouble he knows it and does it with a grin on his face.  "Not fair" is a new term that he picked up whenever he's upset about something.  We've also been hearing a lot "go away"s which is really not good.

He's also getting into songs and extremely picky/bossy on what song we play in the car.  Most of his music taste is influenced but the big brothers again.  "Let it go", "Everything is awesome", and "I like to move it" being current favorites.  To our surprise he took a liking to "Yellow submarine" by the Beatles, making James a very happy dad!

Miso soup

James and I went out for a rare dinner just the two of us plus Logan.  Little guy loved the miso soup and scoffed the whole thing down in no time.  Note to self to make some at home one of these days.

It was a really nice "quiet" dinner without the older brothers.  Both James and I really enjoyed Logan's company!

Logan and wagon

I brought Logan with me to pick up Evan last week and he really enjoyed playing in the "big kids" yard.  Logan got a chance to drag a wagon around for the first time.  It was pretty big and heavy but Logan managed to figure out how to push/drag it around.  I had trouble getting him to stay on the foot path since he kept wanting to drag it up the grassy hill.  Eventually he figured out it's easier to stay on flat surfaces :)
