Logan on learning new words

Jean: That's an exclamation point.  Not an "i".
Kevin: Can you say "exclamation point"?
Logan:  No.

Artwork for the Nursery

I painted a new artwork for Scarlet's nursery.  I hope it will go with the rest of the nursery as it has turned into more than the alphabet theme I had intended.  When I am done with the nursery, I will post pics of it.

First Haircut

Up until today, Logan has never had a real haircut.  Heck, for at least the first year of his life he barely had any hair.
See...1 year, 3 months and still barely any hair.

I usually "cut" his hair.  And by cut, I mean mess it up with some scissors.  Finally we decided it was time he received a real haircut.  So, we decided on Pigtails & Crewcuts in Cedar Park.  

We had a little wait, but he was happy.  He played with the trains.  He watched Cars on the tv.  All was good.




It was finally Logan's turn.  First he sat in the fire engine.  But then he wanted the airplane.



Well.  from there is was game on.  As soon as the stylist put that cape on him...let's just say he was not happy.  We offered him animal crackers, bubbles, and a lollipop.  











We had a brief moment of smiles while Kevin blew some bubbles...





Then we had some more tears--just for a minute or two while she finished up.


At last Logan's new haircut was finished and he is a happy boy again!!!  




It's very short, but don't worry, it will grow out because I don't see us taking him again any time soon.

Summer Preschool

I signed Logan up for a summer preschool program.  I think he was getting bored, and I was not getting anything done.  We found one that had a 2, 3, or 5 day option and is 10 minutes from the house.  When Logan, Scarlet and I went to tour, Logan did not want to leave.  He really liked it there.  I thought the facility was nice and the director was very friendly.  The program sounded good, so we signed him up for a 2-day program.  He will go all of June, most of July (when he is not in swim lessons) and 2 weeks in August--until regular school starts.  He will then go back to Taylor CDC.

Well, he started his new school on Monday and so far, he loves it.  He never wants to leave when I pick him at up the end of the day.  I've been able to get some things done, and I think Logan will learn some things too!  And bonus, his teachers love him.

They gave us a first day sheet with some photos for us to remember it by:

Tuesday's Ten

1.  Logan can count to 9.  He's been watching these Leap Frog videos lately, and I think that has helped him learn his numbers. 
2.  Logan started a 2-day/week preschool program on Monday.  I am told he had a really great time.  I think this is going to be very good for him.
3.  Scarlet sleep through the night occasionally.  She will do it for a few nights, then go back to waking every 3 hours for a couple of nights.  It's pretty awesome.
4.  Scarlet has started to "talk" a lot more.  Her voice is so cute.  And, it's pretty loud.
5.  Scarlet is also an avid smiler!
6.  I love the way Logan says "chocolate".  He pronounces it:  choc-o-lot.  He says every syllable.  Super cute.  I will miss it when he starts to say it all "normal" like.
7.  Scarlet has been exclusively and successfully breast fed for 3 months!
8.  Logan is really interacting with his toys now.  He makes them talk and the characters do things.  It is fabulous.
9. 
10.

June 3rd--3 Months

Scarlet is 3 months old today.












 And because Kevin doesn't like the headbands with the flowers or bows...here are some without the headband.

Tummy Time

I went a little crazy with the tummy time pictures.
