Logan is such an incredible little boy. We are definitely in the throws of toddlerdum with the most amazing moments peppered with moments were we can’t figure out what is going on, but overall we have an amazing little guy. Of course we are COMPLETELY biased, but he is just so capable and we are so shocked at how our little 2 year old is a complete person. It is so cool that we can have whole conversations with him and really understand his wants and needs. It is fun to teach him things and experience things with him. He is creative, loving, adventurous, intelligent, capable little boy. I feel like I am experiencing the world from a whole new perspective and boy it is a cool place.
Language – Logan is still quite a star in the language category. He learns so many words every day and is picking up advanced and abstract concepts. Although he has always been easy to understand, he is even more so now and I think any stranger could understand him if they were paying attention. He is still working on social skills with people (he assumes everyone should do as he asks) but he is polite and is kind. He also has amazing comprehension and will relay things later that happened earlier in the day.
Emotions – He now understands love and tells us he loves us. He is also more verbal about his fears and is going through ANOTHER phase where he is more scared of strangers. He also loves to take care of his baby and is also very interested in Wyatt.
Favorite toys – He loves building things (legos, Lincoln logs, and mega blocks). He also loves pretend play like playing with his baby. He likes to play with his cars and dinosaurs and of course his fake food. He loves his food and his kitchen. Also since the weather is getting nice he is getting back into his sandbox and his little workbench outside and his little car and lawn mower are still long time favorites. He also loves all of wyatt’s toys but I think mostly because they are wyatt’s. He also is very interested in reading lately. He has so many books memorized it is crazy.
Physical skills – Logan is blooming physically. From gymnastics he excels at many activities and he seems to be very brave (as well as skilled). Unless he is truly too short for something he can do everything at a park. He can climb up a two foot tall complicated cargo net at a nearby park that is meant for kids that are much older. He is always the youngest kid on the complicated equipment. It is so fun but it also means we have to watch him pretty closely and it can be harder if Julia wants to take both kids to the park. We have been trying to go to the park as a family on the weekends so Charles can give logan intense park time while I entertain wyatt. Logan has also started swim lessons! He was begging for them so it will be fun to see how that progresses. He is in private lessons once every two weeks.
Schooltime – he is learning his letters and numbers and is picking them up quickly. He is learning more from the ipad probably than real life, but he and Julia do school time each day.
Brother – He loves wyatt and is very interested in him. He likes him coming into his room for bedtime and enjoys having him go out with him. He is also protective of him and doesn’t like strangers holding him (or people he deems strangers) or even flirting with him. Today for the first time he thought Wyatt could be a useful tool and asked him to open his play dough container. He went over and put wyatt’s hand on it and tried to have him work with him to open it. It was pretty hysterical.
