Logan and His June Summer School Experience

During the summer Logan goes to the Nicholson ECE for what I call summer school.  I think it is good for him to continue with some sort of structured program during the summer.  He goes 5 days/week from 8:30-12:30.  He is really enjoying it.  He has made a new friend named Inho.  Here are some pics the center shared with us of the month of June.

Even at school, he likes to line up his cars.

Hmmm...I like what she is doing over there with the dropper.
Look at my masterpiece.

They spent one week talking about camping and had a campsite set up in the common area.

I caught one...let me get it.


They also do splash day twice in the summer.  The first one was last week.  Here a a few shots.  It appeared that he spent much of his time at the water sensory table.




Logan's 4th Birthday Party

On Saturday, June 29th, we celebrated Logan's 4th birthday by having a car themed party.  Now, before I go on, I must note that according to Logan, he is turning 7...not 4.  This will be important later when you see the pictures of him blowing out his candles.

We invited our families, the neighbors, a couple of other friends, and some of our friends.  We had a fabulous time.  Here are some pictures.  I wish I could have gotten more, but I didn't take a lot during the party because it was more fun to be part of the party and not watching the party through the lens.

We have similar pics to this from last year's birthday at Grandma Linda and Paw Paw's house.

The handsome birthday boy!

I will catch you bubbles.  Come here!




He said what?  No he didn't girlfriend.

It was a really great party.  Logan really enjoyed the party, the cake, and all the cool gifts he received.  Let's hope next year is just as good.
