On Saturday, we decided to visit CDM as we had no other plans.  It has been a few months since our last visit there, and Logan enjoyed playing with most of the things as usual.  Since Connor is able to walk on his own now, it was convenient not to have to bring along the stroller.  He was a bit reserved initially until he warmed up.  He enjoyed the freedom of walking around on his own, and he was participating in everything Logan was playing with.  Connor loved holding the pieces from any of the activity tables, and walked around with them, then eventually returning them to where he found them.  He also enjoyed walking up and down the stairs in the toddler room, either holding my hand or by himself.  Later when we were playing in the pizza market room, he was really content carrying a plate of pretend food back and forth from the table multiple times.  At one point, he went around picking up the pieces other kids left behind on the ground and returning them to their designated baskets. 

     Today was Mckayla’s Big 4th princess party.  The Kaos were kind to invite us too even though we don’t have any little princesses.  In order to stay with the theme, we decided to dress Logan up as a knight.  We told him that his job for today was to protect the princesses against any dragons; Logan was trying to fulfill his responsibility.  All the girls look really cute, and there were many fun princess activities; one of the main attractions was having an adult dressed up princess telling stories, singing and doing some face painting.  Logan, as usual as in most events, did not want to participate too much.  Instead, he just wanted to walk around and doing his own things.  Stuart was on call this weekend and actually had to deal with an issue, so he had to be on a teleconference during part of the party.  Fortunately, he was still able to walk around with the kids or hang with us while having the phone head piece on.  Logan was very interested in the birthday cupcakes, and he even participated in singing birthday song to Mckayla.  Happy Birthday Mckayla!
