Remember this...

Logan,

You have become quite the comedian lately and I must write down the silly things you do and say before my brain forgets.

• You love watching Rugrats, or "Babies" as you also refer to it. In the beginning, you always throw your right arm in the air when the Nickelodeon sign appears and bring your arm down as you yell "YES!" excitedly. Then, you say "Ba-baa" after the credits. Really stinking cute.


• When you really want something, like to go to the park, you grab my arm and get really close to my face looking right into my eyes and say "Park, mama?" and give your most convincing puppy dog eyes. I cannot deny your requests!


• In the am when I am saying goodbye, you break my heart every time you say "Mama, stay home. Don't go to work." Ahh! I wish I could love bug! I wish I could!!


• You're best friend is Butte. You two are so close now. She follows you around like her little keeper. You two play together and most of the time, it's perfect. You get a little too rough with her sometimes and we have to make you back off a bit, but otherwise you two are inseparable. She even sleeps in your closet now!


• You're mostly potty trained! HOORAY!! You wear undies all day long, minus your nap and at night time. Oh and pooping. You hold it in until your nap. We'll get there...


• You sing along with me to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "You Are My Sunshine", the two songs I've been singing to you since you were 3 hours old. You say "twinkle" like "cookie"...makes me wonder if we need to get your hearing checked again for fluid in your ears.


• You show emotion in your voice now. So cute...especially when I say no to a Popsicle and you say "Awww!" without crying over it.


• We've been going down to the river and your favorite thing to do is slide around on the step that's covered in moss as I drag you through the water. Your laugh can me heard for miles.


• You're still a mamas boy, but you and your daddy have been playing rougher lately, like tackling and wrestling...you love it so far!


• You seem to be right handed, but eat with your left.

remember this

Remember:

• how Logan bangs on his door in the morning while saying "mama" & "milk" at the same time


• how he climbs into bed with me and nuzzles his head into the crook of my arm as I cover us both up


• how when I ask him to do his eyebrow trick he looks at me with the most beautiful smirk on his face and instantly bursts out in laughter at how talented he is


• the way he gently wraps his hands around my head and looks me straight in the eye without saying anything


• the way he  falls over in a fit of laughter from chasing the dogs around the house


• how we read Where the Wild Things Are and how he points out Max, the dog and the moon on every page and shouts "No!" when Max does


• the way he giggles in his time out chair and says "hi!" over and over, hoping to flirt his way out of time out


• the way I can convince him that a cracker is a cookie


• how big his heart is for me, always giving love and hugs


• how much he loves his daddy


• how he throws well with both hands


• how he climbs up my legs so I'll hold him


• the way he counts with me (I say one, he says two, and we both say three)


• how he loves playing peek-a-boo and hide-n-seek


• when I rock him before a nap and he reaches up to my face and names all the parts


• how entranced he is with lights, any light, inside or outside, he's always pointing and saying "light on"


• the way he says "love you" (la wou)


• when he's sick and only wants me to comfort him


• the way he smells after a bath
