Logan is three and is officially not a baby anymore. He’s a preschooler now. WOW. I can hardly believe it. I think I do this every year, but seriously, when and how do they go from this


to this

He’s so much fun to be around and he has such an active personality. I love his obsession with trucks and tractors and everything he knows about them. I love listening to him play with his trucks and the scenarios he comes up with and where they’re going and why. He adores his older sister and wants to be like her. He can’t wait to go to preschool next year just like Lindsay and I can’t believe we’re getting to this point already. He knows all of his shapes and colors and can count to at least 30, but I’m pretty sure he counts higher when Lindsay is counting with him. He knows all of his letters and some of their sounds, but the kid just isn’t patient enough to sit long enough for me to teach him the rest. He knows how to spell his name and sings it to the BINGO song. He loves it when we read books to him and especially when Lindsay reads to him. Before they come out in the morning, I’ve learned that most of that time is spent by Lindsay reading books to Logan, curled up together in bed. They are the best of friends and as a parent, that’s what I love to see.

Logan had a fun birthday! As soon as he woke up and saw the presents, he wanted to open them. He got a car transporter (he was so excited!), new playdoh, all of the See How They Go Books, the game Hi-Ho Cherry-O, and a new Booster seat. He loved all of them and wants to play with them everyday. The See How They Go Books are awesome and he has to sleep with ALL of them now. There are about 12 of them. It’s adorable.

After that we had pancakes for breakfast. He had wanted cream of wheat pudding but we didn’t have any eggs, so we had to wait until the next morning to have that. Tuesdays we have story time so we went to that mid morning and read stories about bears. Then after lunch we went down to the Discovery Park by our house and had a blast! It was such a nice day and we took their bikes and stayed for 2 hours! That park is so fun and it never did get boring. They had a blast on the tire swing and riding their bikes around the park. Then we took Lindsay to dance, Logan and I took naps in the car and then we came home to hang out. At about 5 o’clock, our home teacher called and asked if Logan wanted to take a ride on their tractor. They had come over on Sunday and found out he liked tractors and mentioned that he could have a ride if he wanted one. I thought about calling them but then never got around to it. So, he remembered and called ME. I was so impressed he remembered! So, we headed over there and he got to ride on a tractor! He was a little shy at first but once he got going, he was beyond himself!

After a little while, Caleb, the teenager with him, let him drive the tractor by himself. Caleb put his hands up and everything and let him drive and he did a great job! He’s a natural! He rode it for about 25 minutes and then Lindsay had a little turn and then he wanted to ride it again, but it was time to go. Thanks again Wolthuises!

Then we came home and Lane and Kelly came over and we had chicken alfredo for dinner and cupcakes and frozen yogurt for dessert. I found these really cute construction cone candles and he loved them!

It was a fun day. Happy Birthday, Logan! We love you!
