Last night we were talking to Logan about our upcoming plans. I asked him if he was ready to go to the library tomorrow (today) and he had a huge smile on his face. He said, "Oh yeah, I like the library." Then he very lightly whispered, "Daddy, you have to whisper in the library!" He is so cute. Then we talked about baseball on Thursday in which he told us all about the purple wranglers (his team name). He told us that he was 4 but his purple wranglers number is 8. Then he got up and showed us how to play baseball. He swung his imaginary bat and told us that he had to run to first base. Then he illustrated how to catch the ball and throw to first. As of now, there are no plans for Friday. On Saturday, he has a game at 8:00am and afterwards JR has to head to work, so I will bring the kids home for a nap. Then we will head off to the river when gets home. The river we go to is surrounded by several parks, so Logan refers to it as the "river park!" He was telling us a very animated story about the river park and the fish in the water, when he all of a sudden told JR that they needed to go fishing. I asked him if he knew how to fish - JR interrupted by informing me that Logan was his son...of course he knew how to fish. Logan jumped up and with his imaginary fishing rod, he asked if I wanted 1 fish or two. I said 2. He cast his imaginary rod, reeled it in...meanwhile telling me exactly what he was doing. He said "you throw it, then you pull it then you do this (one hand was holding the pole while the other hand was going in circles to reel in the fish). Then you take your fish off and you eat it." Hahaha JR asked if he wanted to do some fishing when we went to the beach and that sent Logan into a whole other story about the beach and how grandma and aunt Brittany were going and how he builds sand castles and all about the waves. We told him that Davin and Aiden would be there and his response was, "OOOOH, I love Davin and Aiden." He then looked at me and as serious as could be, said, "Don't forget sissy, she has to come too." Bwahahaha! Anyway, we all talked and talked for about an hour. Logan just had us laughing so hard. I can't believe I thought that he may not ever talk. It's all that kid does...talk, talk, talk! I love it. He is such a sweet kid - I am so blessed!
Yesterday afternoon, I decided to hook up our new sprinkler. It is just a little $2 one, that I bought specifically for the kids to play in. Logan wasn't 100% sure about it...so I showed him how to run through it. HE quickly caught on, but told me I had to play with him. Landry sat on the blanket watching. I kept trying to encourage her, but she just wasn't having it! LOL Finally I picked her up and ran through with her a few times, then just set up down to where the water lightly sprayed her feet....slowly she got a little closer so that she could put her hands in it as well. They were so cute. I found this whole situation very interesting though. Landry is usually the daredevil. She is fearless most of the time, while Logan is usually more cautious of things. It was a role reversal yesterday.
We are headed to the library in about 45 minutes, and then we will most likely hit the sprinklers again. Well, Logan and I will. By the time we get back it will be time for Landry's nap. I need to go to Target because there is a really cute little outfit that I want so badly. I tried it on a few weeks ago, and loved it but they only had ONE and it was a large. I am hoping that today they will have a medium...plus I need to get more sunscreen! I can't believe we have already gone through a bottle and it isn't even May. I also can't believe how expensive sunscreen can be! Ughh! I am having some issues with Landry and sunscreen. I have tried the Coppertone water babies sunscreen as well as Banana Boat Kids which is supposed to be tear free...but each time, she ends up with tears streaming down her face. She never cries as though it is burning her eyes or like she is in pain... her eyes just get watery and tears stream down her face. I made the mistake of not getting too close to Logan's eyes once when he was a baby, and he ended up sunburned under his eyes...I dont want to make that mistake again with Landry - but I dont like the idea of her eyes being watery the whole time either. Hmmmm....maybe I will try something new. Maybe I can get one of those sunscreen sticks for her face!
happy hump day everyone!
