The Logan Spotlight

So school has started and often teachers will have their students do a poster and spotlight that child where they get to tell all about themself.  Well I am a teacher, and I do have some cuties to tell about, so here's my "Star Student" Logan spotlight:

Logan the Reader
Logie Bear has gotten really into reading books, and reading the same ones over and over.  Some of his favorties:  Mrs. Wishy Washy series, "If You Give a Moose a Muffin", "Trains", and "Planes".  At church on Sunday he sat and "read" the whole "Brown Bear Brown Bear" book to himself.  It was SO cute and my favorite part was when said, "Orange Fish, Orange Fish, what do you see?"  (This was funny because the book says "goldfish" but in the picture it looks orange and Logan makes sure to correct us when we say goldfish).  As I have been teaching Silas his sounds, Logan has gotten in on it too.  He points at the picture and says, "Miss 'a' Mom!"  Then he will sing in his cute little Logie voice:  "Mr. 'c' has two cotton candies two cotton candies!"

Logan the Early Bird
Lately Logan loves to get up way before we do!  He will run into our room and say, "Wuk up Dad!"  then he will great Tyrel with a lick on the face.  He will very quickly turn into "Angry Logan" and shout, "Let's go have bekfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!"  The cuteness goes away real fast :)


Logan the Counter and Cutter
Logan also has started to catch on to counting.  When we read the planes or trains book, he always puts his finger in my hand and says, "Let's count them Mom!" And we do.  Then when we're at the table he'll say, "Mom, watch me count my chickens!  one...two...shree...four!"  Other times it will be, "one, five, shirteen, seven, sixteen!"  And yesterday, Silas was working on his skills packet, gluing and cutting and Logan wanted to try scissors.  So I got brave and let him try.  He did great!  He LOVED it and felt so big.  After every piece he snipped off, he said, "I got another one Mom!"  Then he had lots of fun rolling the glue stick up to maximum height and gluing the cut pieces to the paper.


Logan the Nursery Boy
Hooray!  We have a child who now loves to go to his class at church!  Logan just LOVES nursery and his teachers.  He will walk right into class and not even look back.  He gets so excited and points out whenever he sees his teachers somewhere outside of nursery.  They sure love him too, and especially love to hear him talk since, he doesn't talk very much in nursery (at home he never stops!!!)  And everytime we have a prayer, this is what his sounds like:  "And thank you for my little class.  And thank you for my goldfish in my little class.  And thank you for my water in my little class.  And thank you for my cookies in my class.  And thank you for lots of cookies in my class.  And thank you for some more cookies in my class!" 

Logan the Big Cousin
Logan is surely in love with Baby Clifton and all of his younger cousins.  He thinks it's his personal mission to make sure that a binky is always shoved in a baby's mouth when in sight.  When we were canning, he would dance around and act silly to make Grayson laugh.  Pretty soon we're going to have loads of trouble with all these cute cousins running around!
