A Little Logan Update

I know that Logan's 2nd B-Day is coming up but I feel like Logan has needed a little update and I didn't want to wait 2 months. In the last month he has really taken off with his language. He has always been a talker but he is really starting to form sentences and communicate with us all the time and inject some humor into our conversations. It cracks me up to hear him try to be funny or say funny things. I am really looking forward to our conversations. I know that might sound a little weird to say but it is like he is know a boy ready to be guided in this world, not that he wasn't before but we are now at that next "help me become a good person" age.

Another update is that we have officially "trashed" the pacifier aka "ma . . .ma". The Sunday after our California vacation, I talked to Logan about how we were going to throw away all of our pacifiers because he was a big boy now. I said let's throw it in the trash can and then the trash truck will take them away. Surprisingly, he had no issue throwing it in the trash all by himself. From then on it really was a non-issue. Even as I write this I cannot believe how smoothly this went. Writing this even makes me feel like I am going to jinx myself even though it has been a month already. Every time he cried for it, I reminded him that HE threw it away and that the TRASHMAN was taking it. That seemed to be enough for him and didn't ask for it again. And let me tell you this boy has been pretty attached to his "ma . . . ma" Not sure why he called it that but he did. Crazily he didn't cry once the first night without it. The second night and a few there after, he asked for it but again I reminded him and he told me what he did with it and then he was fine. So one task down, two more to go . . .Big Boy Bed and Potty Training to be taking place in July and August respectively.

He loves hockey these days as our neighbor, Delaney, plays street hockey and is always practicing outside. We found him a stick at a kids consignment sale and he LOVES yo be out there playing too
