Logan is talking quite a lot these days, and sometimes the things he says are quite funny and bossy.  One thing he said awhile ago was cute, “if you don’t want to share, you walk away”; he must have learned that from school.  The other night after dinner, we started playing as usual.  He told me to race cars with him.  I received a text message at the time and wanted to respond, so I asked him to find me a toy car hoping to buy some times to answer the text.  But Logan caught my intention; he said to me “Mommy, put your phone away!”  Then in 10 seconds, he said “I am waiting!”.  I looked over to him, and he was just standing there looking at me.  As soon as I put the phone away, he went to get a car for me.  This morning as I was driving the kids to school, Connor threw his cup away.  As I was trying to tell Connor that he was being bad, Logan said “Throwing things away, it may be an accident, and throwing things away again, it means you are bad”.  He is so deep!  Shortly later, Connor started crying and whining.  Logan told me “Mommy, cover your ears”.  I asked him the reason for that, and he said “Connor is too loud”.

     Connor, on the other hand, is still not talking much at all.  He can say “more more”, “night-night”, “bye-bye”, “uh-oh”, “book” and “nan-na” (banana), but otherwise, he still does not say much.  But he sure understands us well and can gesture to tell us what he wants or what we should do.  If it is not something he wants, he will shake his head a lot to tell us.  But if we say the right things, he will smile and say “uh” which sounds like an old man just letting a breath of air out.  He is very consistent with that which is sort of funny to hear.  When we try to teach him to say “yes” instead, he just keeps having a goofy smile as he refuses to follow our lead.
