I took today off to accompany Logan.  We initially had planned for a trip to San Francisco, but it fell through.  I then decided to take Logan to the Children’s Discovery Museum as it had been awhile since our last visit.  Logan was quite intrigued with the different exhibits.  He tried almost everything, and he especially liked the ones he could climb up or into.  His favorites were walking over the movable bridge, hanging inside the ambulance and plugging away at the traffic light switchboard.  We spent quite a bit of time in those areas.  To my surprise, he did not even care to check out the water area with tossing balls.  When we were on the second floor, I tried to convince Logan to try out the arts and crafts area, but he was not interested.  He did like climbing the stairs and going through the tunnel in the younger kids area.  We spent almost two hours at the museum, and Logan was still interested to stay longer, but he was fine when I suggested to leave.  After stepping out of the museum, he wanted to hang out outside the entrance way for a bit.  The huge field trip group of elementary kids who arrived the same time we did was then sitting out there having their lunches.  Logan was envious and wanted to join them.  But we ended up picking some lunch to share with Stuart at home instead.

     This afternoon I gave Logan a couple of options, and he picked to paint and put together a wooden train.  He was doing quite well painting the train according to the picture.  We then dried it together and put on the stickers.  Lastly we glued on the wheels.  Logan was engaged and was happy with the end result.  While we were working, I asked him about the spring break.

Me:  Do you enjoy your spring break?

Logan:  Yes.  Is there school next week?

Me:  Yes.

Logan:  Yay.

Me:  Who do you miss seeing from school?

Logan:  Miss Diana

Me:  Anyone else you miss?

Logan thought about it and then said it with emphasis:  Connor  I miss Connor!
