Logan-update!

Well, Logan is almost 22 months now. He is full of words, so many that we've lost count, and he is quite the character. He goes to "school" four days a week and he thrives there. I was amazed one night when i picked him up and he pointed out each kids coat hook and jacket, and then when on to pick up some shoes and told me who they belonged to. He was right every time according to the name tags everywhere. I know they are sponges but it still amazes me.

While we were on holidays over Christmas we were fortunate to go to the cottage. Logan would stare out the window and say "outside" over and over until we went out. He still loves being outside, and was quite upset on the days when there was a snow storm with -20 degree weather outside, so we just played inside. When we did get outside he loved being pulled around on his toboggan and especially loved it when we'd let it go down the hill. "Again" he would say over and over.

Logan also loves books, and pointing out what he sees in them. He will also lift up books usually upside down, and sit beside us and then 'read' to us while babbling away. It is the cutest thing ever.

Last night while I was loading pictures onto the blog I could hear Logan starting to sing the national anthem "Oh Canada". I ran out to capture his excitement with the video camera, and got him singing the beginning over and over until the woman started to sing the song before the hockey game. We have a bedtime routine which entails us singing the national anthem, ABC's, and then counting from 1-10. When this is done Loan lifts his head and says "night night" he knows it is time for bed. I'm not sure, but on several occasions now Logan will count from 1 to 10. Sometimes we alternate the numbers together and quite often he starts counting from 4, forgets 5, then continues on to 10 all by himself. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that we count to 10 every night(and have been doing this now for over a year) before he goes to bed...but we're going to continue with it. Maybe soon we'll continue to 20?

Tonight after I did the routine and put him down into his crib, he babbled on the for 45 mins-1hr. All we could hear was Logan naming off his friends names at school Carter, Liam, Hannah, Abby, Corry, Connor, Christopher(sounds like Clifford when Logan says it)), Abby to name a few and then we could hear him whispering "Mommy, Daddy?" Then he started counting off numbers from 1 through 10.

What an angel. I love this guy!

This morning when Logan woke up he called out "daddy, daddy?" then I guess when he heard nothing he started to call out "Chris?" He has done this now a few times that we have noticed, calling Chris by his first name. I suppose he hears me calling for Chris, and knows that I get a response when I do.

As for potty training, since the episode in the toilet at his daycare back in September(see Septmber 23 2009)we haven't been to the potty much. I'm not sure if it scared him or what but we're(Logan) not too interested in it right now. So we'll keep asking him if he wants to go on it but.....
