Logan is almost 2 years and 5 months old, and I thought it was time for an update on the sweet things he has been doing lately. Like I have said before, the "terrible two's" have not been terrible at all! Everyone says to wait until he is 3, but for now we are enjoying this sweet stage. With that being said, we are working on discipline and dealing with those toddler tantrums. But, overall this is an awesome age!

Logan loves all things transportation. His favorites include garbage trucks, airplanes, and "choo-choo trains." His favorite thing to do at his Mimi's on Tuesdays is watch the garbage truck pick up the trash. On the way to school/work everyday, we look for garbage trucks. He can spot airplanes when they are barely visible to the eye, and he looks for trains daily when we cross over the "choo-choo train tracks." He also loves motorcycles, tractors, dump trucks, bulldozers, excavators (a new one for me), and crane trucks. Logan has a couple of books that have taught him all of these names. No wonder all of these toys are available for little boys! Maybe Santa Claus is paying attention.

Logan loves to sing! His favorite songs include Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Old McDonald Had a Farm, Wheels on the Bus, Go Tigers Go (U of M fight song), Amazing Grace, Jesus Loves Me, and some song about an alligator snatching a monkey out of a tree that he learned at school. The jury is still out as to whether or not he got my ear for music (or his Dad's), but his love for music certainly comes from me! We seldom have a car ride without singing involved.
Logan is starting to get a big imagination. Tops to his squeezie fruits are twinkle stars one minute and cupcakes the next. A box is a shower and then it is a tractor. A balloon is a baby sleeping when wrapped in a blanket. And, he is constantly making coffee and hot tea in his kitchen. It is funny to see what he will come up with next!

His vocabulary expands daily. Logan talks in full sentences and his speech is becoming much more clear. He learns new words everyday and is curious as to what things are and how they work. He loves to read books and even "read" a book to me tonight that he had memorized. It is a long book (for a 2 year old) called "Good Night, Good Night Construction Site" that we have only had a couple of weeks. I was shocked to learn he knew most of the words!
We are enjoying life with our sweet boy and look forward to many more sweet years!
