28 months!

Logan is now 28 months old....rapidly approaching two-and-a-half!  Wow!  He is growing leaps and bounds everyday and its the most amazing thing to witness.  Having kids really is the biggest miracle.  Logan is very verbal and continues to express himself very well, now able to connect feelings and emotion.  He surprises us everyday with new words, expressions, and construction of his sentences.  Some of our recent favorites: "That is very dangerous", "It was an accident, I am sorry", "I sure did have a good nap", Bennett is my little brother - he's so cute!".

Some other phrases we hear often (and like a little less): "Something hurts!", "I'm sick", "My shirt (or sock, or shoe, or hat, or anything) feels funny, I don't like it", "I need one more (referring to a snack....)!".

Logan knows his ABCs and sings them beautifully...usually not leaving out any letters.  He loves to count and can get to 16 without missing a number.  He loves to sing and dance and do hand motions that go along with the songs we've learned.  He is really into building anything, so we spend a lot of time with blocks.  Cars are still his favorite toys, next to any kind of ball.

Logan is also really a great big brother!  I'm sure he can't even remember life before Bennett!  He loves trying to entertain Bennett and can always make him laugh.  He likes to cover B's mouth for him if he coughs and wipe his nose if its running...quite the little caretaker.  Of course there are equal number of times when Logan is found sitting on or "steamrolling" Bennett...poor baby!

Most of all, Logan likes to do things "ALL BY MYSELF!".  Yesterday, he wanted to wash his dishes.  So, I let him wash and play in the sink for a while.  I have a feeling this winter will be filled with all kinds of weird "activities" like playing in the dishwater.  Haha!

It was all fun and games until....

He got soaked.  Then the game was o-v-e-r.  Oh what fun two year olds are!  :)
