Logan has been giving some attitude lately, and the fact that he is such a daddy boy is adding to it too.  The day when I took Logan to the musical, I recalled that Logan actually changed his mind before we left the house as he wanted to stay home with daddy instead.  On Friday when Connor had to stay home, I was trying to take Logan to school in the morning.  He was reluctant to follow me out as he wanted daddy to take him instead (as in every morning).  He whimpered almost the entire way to school.  While we were leaving the house tonight for dinner, Logan was excited initially as I told him that he would see Brandon there and they could play game together.  But when we climbed inside the car, Logan wanted daddy.  I told him that Daddy had to stay home for Connor, then Logan asked that I switched place with daddy.  I explained that we were going out with my friends, so I should go, but Logan argued back “They are his friends too”.  He happened to have tripped right before we got into the car.  So the whole way driving there, Logan was whining on and off about the owie.

    Once we arrived and sat down at the restaurant (we were the first to arrive), Logan immediately asked to play with my phone.  I explained that we had to wait for everyone especially Brandon before he could start playing.  I offered him to do some drawing which he usually likes.  But Logan continued to whine and he purposely scribbled with crayon all over the page instead of drawing to spike me.  He was happy when the bread arrived, but Logan continued to give me some attitude.  Brandon finally saved me by offering his Lego catalog for Logan to see.  Logan was very interested in it and helped himself out of the bad mood.

    These days it is also difficult to talk with Logan about his bad behavior as he gets grumpy immediately when he is being told off.  Stuart and I will be working with him on some attitude adjustment in the coming days
