Logan is very attached to a tiny teddy bear these days.  He would sleep and go everywhere with it.  The only place he will not take Teddy to is school.  Logan would hand Teddy to me to put it in a safe place in the car, and I have heard him said “see you later” to Teddy on his own.  The past few days, he found Teddy a family.  Now Teddy has a Daddy Bear and Mommy Bear.  Logan has been taking the entire family to bed at night and bringing all of them to the family room in the morning.  Every night when Logan says the rollcall of his goodnights to each of us before he lays down, the bear family is now also being mentioned individually.

     Since the weather has been nicer lately, Logan is more interested to play outdoors.  His favorite outdoor toys this week have been the water gun and Stuart’s remote controlled car.  Logan is getting better controlling the car now; he can drive it forward and make turns.  He still however runs up to turn the car around manually rather than using the control to back it up . 

     As a side note, Logan’s counting skills are getting a bit better as he understands the concept of it now.  When we were at the zoo, he was counting the number of animals he saw.  But he still has trouble with the number 5 where he often replaces it with 8.  Like today when we were driving home, he made a comment that there were many cars on the road.  So I asked him to count them, and he was counting them aloud, “one, two, three, four, eight”.  After I corrected him gently, he continued on starting with “five” all the way to “twelve” correctly.  He also uses his fingers to help counting too.  When we have animal crackers for desserts sometimes, he often asked for five of them.  Stuart would mess with him by giving him less than 5, then he would use his fingers to count how many he got and how many more he should get.
