Logan - Three and a Half

Logan is quickly coming up on three and a half.  Pinch me.  I can't believe his next birthday will make him four.  In fact, he has already started telling people that "this year he will be four".  When he was born, I remember holding him and thinking preschool, potty training, and writing his name were lightyears away.  And now, here we are!

Logan likes to have things orderly - like these magnets on the fridge.  Who does he take after?? (Hint: not me!)  He also likes to cheese it up for the camera these days!

Logan continues to be such a good natured and sweet boy.  He has really taken to being the big brother, the protector, the helper.  We have tried not to force him into those roles but it has been really interesting to see him take some responsibility over Bennett - helping and protecting him.  Bennett clearly wants to be just like Logan.  They love to play together and I've been seeing more time where they love to entertain each other.

School is one of Logan's favorite things.  He can't wait to go on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  He loves his friends from school and all his teachers.  We are lucky to have Logan at Noah's Ark - it really is a special place.  We've really seen Logan open up this year and start trying more new things at school.  He started the year as more of an observer, but has quickly become more adventurous and outgoing.  His teachers from Camp Come & Play last year said he has really grown a lot!

Re-enacting one of the favorite books du jour: "Ten in the Bed".

Logan favorite things are cars, trains, and books.  He likes his fair share of videos when we let him watch, too.  He has started to know many books by heart and will read them to us and Bennett.  Its so cute to hear his expression when he reads and tells a story.  He has a wild imagination and is constantly making up stories about his family and our adventures.  Sometimes I wonder what stories other people might hear about us!

Logan loves to sing and dance - we find a lot of joy in hearing him sing song from school and dancing around the house.  He reminds us quickly of how great it is to be a child.  Logan is the light of our lives!

We put all the animals in bed while Logan pretended to be the little boy. Bennett just snacked.  He's a snacker, what can I say.

I was instructed to "take a picture like I'm sleeping with all my animals".  Told you he was a cheeser!

Can't wait to see what's in store for Logan.  He's a very special boy!
