Are you okay?

Since starting daycare Logan has picked up some new language and he likes to create situations where he could use them. 

Logan: Bad mommy!
(This one he probably learned from Evan)
Me with sad face: That's not nice Logan.  Mommy is very sad now.
Logan smiles: Are you okay? Do you need a hug?

I see what you did there Logan!

"My pot"

One of my favorite Logan phrases is "my pot".  What he's really trying to say is "my spot", but "s" is hard to pronounce for the 2 year old, so what comes out is "my pot".  We all know what he's saying though when he's claiming territory with the older brothers around.

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!
