Back to School

This handsome kid began his last year of preschool this past week.  He was so, so excited!  Logan has  asked me literally every day for the past two months when he would get to start school again.  

Silly kid wanted a picture with "leaf lips"

 In true little sister fashion, Mia had to have a backpack for school too. :)  She was so confused the whole time Logan was gone, and kept having mini panic attacks every time she would realize he wasn't with us.  "Oh no, mommy!  Logan's not in his carseat!"  "Oh no, mommy!  Logan's hiding!"

He had such a great day, and told me his very favorite part was when they did circle time and he got to play with play dough. He made lots of friends and his teacher pulled me aside the next day and told me, "Logan is such a joy to be with.  He is so kind to everyone, and so sweet to his friends.  I enjoy him so much!"    What lucky parents we are, to have our Logie!

In the past couple of weeks, Logan's writing and drawing skills have improved dramatically.  He never used to like doing either thing, and now he always has a pencil with him!

Logan drew a story.... absolutely no help from anyone.  The bottom section are magic beans in a bag... the left one is a shark carrying the beans.  The top one is Superhero Jack flying away with the beans after rescuing them from the shark, and the picture to the right is Jack holding the beans. :)

Logan loves to copy words.  He asked me how to write "Dr.", so I drew it on a paper for him to see.  He brought me this paper he made, with Dr. Logan and Dr. Mia...they had been playing doctor all morning.   Also, note the T-Rex on the right. :)

At the end of one of his stories it says, "I love you, Mom"  Logan surprised me and wrote this out all by himself!

Another one of Logan's stories... involving a rat, an evil snowman, a creepy shark and a snail monster.  

Logan learned the word "Exit" from one of his books.  I now have one of these signs posted on every door in my house.  

And... one more fun Logan fact:

When we play Chutes & Ladders, Logan always chooses to be the little Asian girl.  After being silently confused for many a game, I finally asked him why he always chose to be her.  This was his response:

"I just love this girl.  I want her for my wife.  She's a real beauty.  She's my kind of girl!  If this girl was real, I would marry her and make her my wife."

Funny kid.
