Spring Break: A Trip to Hutchinson

During Logan's preschool spring break, my mom and I took both boys down to Hutchinson, KS to visit Granny Fran for a couple of days.

On March 16, we visited the Dillon Nature Center. The weather was chilly and windy, but it was a nice sunny day. Here's a glimpse of our visit...

Trendsetter


Logan is on the cutting edge of fashion with his African cap and collar, Hawaiian lei, and heart-shaped glasses. He really pulls it altogether with confidence, doesn't he?

Liam Pulls Up to a Stand!


Over President's Day weekend, Liam pulled himself to a stand on the train table, and he's been steadily improving this new skill ever since! He is now capable of pulling up on low-level tables, chairs, couches, my legs...if it's sturdy and within reach, it's fair game.

Liam put his new skill to good use yesterday by pulling up on Logan's computer table and standing at the keyboard. He subsequently began tapping away until lo and behold, a Sesame Street computer game appeared before him on the screen. Needless to say, he was quite pleased with himself.

I also wanted to mention that my mom (aka M'Amy) taught Liam how to play Pat-A-Cake when she was last in town. He claps ("pat it") and makes a subtle rolling motion ("roll it") by clasping his hands and rocking them back and forth (and then he gives a really big grin). It's very cute, and he tells me when he wants me to play by clapping his hands.


4-year-old Vocabulary

It's always fun hearing Logan try out new words. I got a real chuckle tonight when Logan was putting on a pair of sweatpants with a couple of false drawstrings. (You know the type ~ there are a couple of drawstring ties sewn into the waistband, but they don't actually cinch up the waistband ~ they're just for show.)

Anyway, Logan gets his pants pulled up, and looking down to check that his drawstrings are not tucked into his pants, he asks himself, "Did I lose any antennae?"
