Logan told me today that he thought in this blog he was getting a bum rap (not the diaper kind).  Actually I’d have to agree, this past week he’s been a very good boy.  Sure he still gets occasionally grumpy and maybe a bit of exercise ball bouncing is required to sooth…but I think Bonnie and I might be getting better at guessing the other underlying issues.  Maybe he’s still a little hungry, or ready for a nap, or got a pressie in his diaper….or maybe he’s just getting older and past his fussies.

     When we went to Julie & Robert’s last week for a dinner get-together he was on his best behavior.  Hardly a cry was uttered.  We went to the Kaiser picnic today..same result.  A few little naps, but mostly content to sit in his carrier seat while his Mommy and Daddy ate and talked with the gathering. 

He’s a good boy he says..and I agree.

Things we did today:

• Decided not to get Camry maintenance done today, because Logan was crying too much.
• Bonnie went to Target.  Think we set a new record on Total Cost of minor items purchased.  Diapers add up.
• Watered Roses. Also watered a bush for a few minutes by spraying the water hose from about 6 feet away…then a wet Scottie came slopping out.  I forgot that is where he takes shade during hot days.  Oh well, he needed a bath.
• We tried out “Gripe Water” that is supposed to magically stop babies from chronically crying.  Don’t think it worked.
• Discussed our fears of how Logan will act during a house party we are attending tomorrow.
• Bonnie gave Logan a bath.
• Used a Voltage meter to see how much wattage/money our regular household items are sucking up…more later in Techcorner about that.
• Put together one of Logan’s playtoys.  It was made in England..I don’t think they designed it to be easy for us Americans to build.
• Bounced with Logan on exercise ball ad-nauseam…one of his worst cranky days to date.
• Wrote this blog entry.
