The other day a teacher told me that they have been calling Logan the “Second Juli”.  Juli is one of Logan’s older classmates who is full of energy and talks all day long.  The teachers said that Logan has been more talkative and opinionated lately, and they are enjoying his new transition.  Logan is also surely showing this new side at home with us too.  He is copying many of the words we say and stringing them together to tell us what he wants.  One morning when he and I were sitting down in his room we dropped a napkin on the floor.  Logan pointed to it and said “tissue…drop it”.  He then said “down”, climbed down of me, picked it up, and proudly said “I got it”.  I just sat there and enjoyed him narrating and doing the entire act.  He also talks quite a bit on the drive home from school these days while pointing to different things on the road.  Sometimes it is not easy to figure out what he is trying to tell me.

     With people Logan does not see often, he is still however quite shy.  Fortunately for the past weekend, Logan warmed up to his grandparents very quickly.  He was happy that  they came up for a visit; he had a great time playing with Grandma and Granddad.  Logan would call “grandma” often to come play with him.  After getting all the attention from grandparents, Logan finally had to say bye to them this morning.  When we drove away from the house to go to school, Logan even whined a bit by calling “Grandma…Grandma”.  And again on the drive home and walking inside the house, Logan was still looking for grandma.  He was finally happy when he could talk with Grandma via webcam after dinner and said “I miss you”.
