So Logan has been learning new things each day, and I feel like it's all coming so fast that it'd be easy to forget all the cute and new things he's doing lately....
Here's the list:
* LOVES the Wheels on the Bus song: We play it over and over...and over....and over again. :) He knows all the actions by heart and does them so enthusiastically he often falls over in the process. It's so adorable that we've tried to get a video of it, but as soon as he sees the camera, the show is off. One of these days...
* He sings his ABC's. It's the cutest thing when he's playing with his toys and all the sudden you hear a faint murmur of the ABC song. By far, his favorite letter is "P" :)
* He can spell his name (kind of). I've heard him do this once, but comes very close most of the time. It surprised me half to death when he first did it. We were outside playing with chalk and I was writing and was going to say the letters as I wrote them. After "L", he had the rest.
* He's VERY friendly. He says a great big "HI" to everyone we see when we're out and about.
* He has the CUTEST wave. When Randy and him are out and about and drive home, all I see are his eyeballs peering out of the back window and his hand waving back and forth.
* He has a GREAT sense of direction. He always knows exactly what direction the fire station is, where Karlyn's house is, where Anna's house is, and (sadly), where McDonald's is. We're not so proud of the whole McDonald's one....
* He's very concerned about others. He hates to see other kids cry or get hurt. If they do, he'll usually go peer them in the eye and talk to them sympathetically.
* He's very helpful - especially when I blow dry my hair in the mornings. It never fails - every time he hears the hair dryer turn on, he's there in a flash, offering me my brush :)
* He's talking up a storm! This has really just started in the last few weeks and he's catching on quickly. He can communicate nearly anything to us at this point, although he still signs "help" "please" and "thank you". I'm glad we didn't do more signs. I'm now starting to wish he'd be saying those words instead of signing them. Better than nothing I suppose....
* He still has a biting issue, but will often get frustrated, search violently for something to bite, open his mouth around someone someone or something, and then....realize he's about to bite, and gives a kiss instead. He's doing so much better than he was a few months prior.
* He's so good at "time out". We hate to use it, but we're probably as consistent as we can be with it. It doesn't matter where we are or what we're doing, if he bites, hits, throws, or hurts someone else, he is in time out - and he knows it. He'll even go put himself in time out if he realizes that he's done something bad. He sits there still as a mouse with a sheepish look on his face, until you tell him it's ok for him to get up.
* He can spot a "bus" from a mile away. Before school was out for the summer, we'd have "bus hunts" on our way to daycare. He would often spot them before I would!
* He has a thing right now where he gets scared easily. His two biggest culprits are monkeys and loud trucks. Neither of them are good. He also has this thing where we won't usually play in another room. He'll bring his toys into the room we're in, but is too scared to play in a room of the house by himself. Even if we're just in the next adjoining room...
* He LOVES his "papa". My dad means the world to him right now. He has to look at his picture about 20 times a day (sometimes that's no exaggeration!) He loves to go spend time at Grandma and Grandpa's and this makes Randy and I very happy when we get a date night every once in a while and know that he's having a blast playing at Grandma and Grandpa's too...
I'm sure there's more....just like I said, hard for me to remember them all at once. Maybe I'll have this post be a work in progress. Now I just gotta work at capturing all these moments on camera!
