Logan’s school is on holiday break starting today, and also my vacation from work starts today as well.  Logan has been quite excited about the days off since beginning of the week as, we assume, the school had been preparing them for it.  Stuart heard Logan saying “Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year” to some teachers on his own too.  When we talked about his days off and what we might do, Connor always seemed to be listening, and would put out a sadden face and said “Me?!”.  So since last night, Stuart asked Logan to keep his days off a secret so Connor would not get jealous.  Logan was so excited to share the secret with me this morning; he also reminded me that we would be going to watch a movie today.

     We arrived at the movie theater early.  I let Logan looked around at the arcade games for a bit before we entered the theater.  He watched through the commercials while eating popcorns, but kept asking when the movie would start.  Finally, the “Wreck It Ralph” started and Logan was quite engaged the entire time.  Funny thing was that when we were more than an hour into the movie, Logan suddenly asked “Is the movie starting soon?”.  But he immediately returned his focus to the movie, so I did not have to answer his silly question.  Only when the movie was about to end (5 mins), Logan asked if we could go home. 

      Later today Stuart told me that Logan had been expecting a train movie.   The last couple of nights after reading a book Logan had inquired about the picture promoting the Thomas movie on the back cover.  Stuart had explained that the movie had not yet been released, but I guess it didn’t stick.  However we both really enjoyed the movie that we watched.

     We also played a couple of games today per Logan’s suggestion.  He even offered to set up Chutes and Ladders while I finished cleaning the house.  Logan was hoping to take the long ladders to climb up fast, but it turned out that I won the game quickly.  Logan actually did not feel sad, and even gave me a high five to cheer for me.  Then we played a game of Match.  I tried not to remember any of the cards, so we just played based on luck.  Logan beat me this time and he was very happy.
