Finally Four

Happy Birthday Logan Berry!

Logan turned four yesterday. I'm not one to wish away precious time with my little ones, anxiously waiting for them to grow up, but man this year was different.

Logan's third year proved to be the hardest thus far, for sure. There were many tantrums, many time outs and many tears of frustration on both parts. But then it seems like just a month or two ago, he turned a corner! He's all of a sudden older, bigger, smarter, more understanding, a little less crazy and a better brother. But regardless of how hard year three was, I would do it all over again.

Logan has such a personality and it has been so fun to see it evolving this year. There's never a dull moment with this guy.


Here are some fun Logan facts:

He has to stand on the porch and wave bye to Ben every morning as he drives away for work. But instead of just regular waving, he waves either the "I Love You" sign or the "Hook 'em Horns" sign with his hand.

He's an early riser, usually waking up around 6:30 every morning.

He loves Curious George. That's usually the first thing he does every morning; wanders out and navigates his way through our Tivo menu to turn on the most recently recorded Curious George episode.

Logan LOVES to dress up. He has lots of different costumes that he's usually changing in and out of through out the day.

He is a cowboy, through and through. He usually insists on wearing his boots and cowboy hat. Everyday. Everywhere. It takes a lot of negotiating to get him to wear his regular shoes.

If one of us is sick and doesn't feel good, then he'll offer to get us a glass of water, insisting that it will make us feel better.

He's crazy good at puzzles. Loves puzzles and games (especially Don't Break the Ice).

Loves surprises ("Presizes") and often asks for Ben to bring home a "presize" from work for him.

Loves dancing (especially dancing like a cowboy, stomping with his boots in the kitchen).

Loves to sing and will make up little songs. And he can finally follow a melody now. :-)

He is inseparable with his blue bike. He pushes himself everywhere on that thing.

Loves setting the table and helping in the kitchen. He'll usually help set the table without being asked.

Still takes a great nap (holding on to that as long as I can... )

Is a coloring/writing fool. He writes his name on everything and loves to draw. He's starting to sound words out.

He's a skinny minny. I swear he's weighed 35 lbs forever.

Talks loud. Talks A LOT. Especially at the dinner table.

Still loves the Wizard of Oz and listens to the soundtrack every night as he falls asleep. My You Tube favorites is clogged with mini clips from the Wizard of Oz.

Loves to race with Lincoln to see who can get jammies on the fastest at night.

Loves doughnuts.

Robot Logan

Pure boy

I woke up one morning to find this. He got them out, sorted and assembled these all by himself.

In this video Logan wanted me to sit and be his audience. I thought he was just singing/conducting one song, but then continued to sing two more.




I caught him doing his cowboy dancing. Don't ask about the music... I love that song and it's on my "Cleaning Music" play list. :-)
