Yesterday was a day of Logan and me.  Stuart had to help out at the Obon Festival during the day, so Logan and I decided to join Michelle and Mckayla in the morning at Happy Hollow.  Logan was his usual “reserved” self initially, but finally warmed up and hung out with Mckayla.  It was fun watching them sharing snacks and observing each other while they played.  Logan even said “I like it” after riding the carousels; what a breakthrough! 

After our afternoon naps, we went to meet up with Daddy at the Obon.  He was relieved from this BBQ cooking duties and we went to play at the children booths for awhile before all heading home together.  Daddy managed to not find out the result of the World Cup all day and he was anxious to watch the game, so Logan and I played on our own in the yard to give daddy some TV time.  Logan was very cooperative with me all day, not giving me any hassles, which was a relief for me.  I think Logan is definitely less demanding when he knows not both parents are available.

When Stuart and I went to bed last time, I suddenly decided to grab my iPhone and look at our old blog posts and photos of Logan just after he was born.  I was reminded how exciting it was and how cute and adorable Logan was when he first arrived.  I thought about how much he has grown and how much fun he is bringing to our lives.  I know it is good to have a second child so Logan will not get too spoiled, but I started to feel very emotional and sad that some of our attention and time will be taken away from him soon.  I hope that Logan will adjust to it quickly, and that Stuart and I can maintain a good balance of everything.
