I think since Logan turned three he has become more chatty and more outgoing.  He now can carry on short conversations, describe to us what he saw or did, and even tell jokes.  He told his first knock knock joke a couple of weeks ago.  “Knock Knock”, “who is it?”, “poo”, “poo who?”, “poo at the door”.  He would then crack up on his own afterward.  Sometimes what he says are funny to us.  There were a few times when Stuart looked around for Teddy with Logan, and Stuart would ask Logan where the last time he saw Teddy was.  Logan would quickly answered “in my hand”.  The other morning when Logan asked me to sit next to him to watch TV with him, but I told him that I had to go shower.  Then he put up his sad face and said that “I have no friends”.  I asked him why he said that, then he answered since I had to go and he had no one to play with.  So dramatic!  I often ask Logan to help carry lunch bags and water clothes bag when I pick them up.  When I try to push too many on him, Logan would say “mommy, I only have 2 hands.”  Smarty pants! 

     Logan is also less shy as well.  This morning, he and I went to Pump It Up for a birthday party.  It consists with 2 big rooms with different kinds of jumpy house activities.  Logan was willing to try everything.  He wanted me to play with him most of the time, but toward the end he would even be doing some of the obstacles by himself too.  This afternoon when we went to a block party, Logan bonded with one of our neighbor’s son who is around 19 years old.  Both Stuart and I did not see how it happened, but all of sudden, we found Logan playing with him along with another 4 year old girl.  They played tag and with the soccer ball, rolled around the lawn, and just sat and talked.  They must have been playing for over 30minutes together, and Logan just came check in with us occasionally.  This was very unusual.  Stuart was enjoying the freedom, but at the same time was missing his little buddy.  I guess we have to start getting used to our little boy growing up and doing things on his own soon.
