What the..?

Last night before bed, Logan was hungry and wanted a snack. He asked for, and I am not making this up, a bowl of All-Bran cereal. This is a cereal that resembles crushed bits of brown pine needles, and he loves it. He won't eat the red part of peaches, or anything on a piece of chicken that isn't chicken-colored (like seasonings, sauces, or grill marks), but a big bowl of fiber cereal is just fine. Go figure.

4 Years Old and Already Shaving

Last night was bath night for the boys, and one of Logan's favorite things is to use his "Berry Soap", which is just kids' soap in an aerosol can, much like shaving cream. He likes me to squirt it into his hand and make all kinds of squiggly shapes, then he slaps his hands together and splatters it everywhere. He scrubs, I rinse.

Last night I was getting ready to rinse him off, and he says "Wait! NO NO NO, not yet!" Then he starts rubbing the berry soap all over his stomach.

"I have to shave my tummy first. That'll make it smoooooooooth..."

Swimming Lessons

Logan just finished up a 2 week session of swimming lessons at the Rec-Plex, an indoor recreation facility in St. Peters. He is a bit timid in the water, but every morning he eagerly put his swimming trunks on, so at least we know he enjoyed the lessons! Part of the fun was taking the class with 3-year-old friend Nate.

Logan never dunked his head under the water, but he walked in shoulder-deep water, blew bubbles, kicked in a prone position, "jumped in" from the side, and spent some time on a kickboard. His favorite activity was chasing after rings the teacher threw into the water.

At the end of his last lesson today, Logan asked when he could take more swimming lessons. We're taking that as a good sign -- and more swimming lessons will likely be on the agenda later in the fall. Many thanks to Nate's mom, Sherry, for the great pictures!
