A Budding Artist

We drove in from TX on Monday. I had gotten Logan a dr. apt for 4pm so we had to move quickly to get on the road and make his appointment. He was still running fever then, and they said there was fluid in his ears. So....for the first time EVER my baby was put on antibiotics!!! We've tried to take it easy this week to give him time to recuperate. I didn't keep the boys on Tuesday since Logan was running fever late in the day on Monday, so we just stayed in both yesterday and today. I wanted to give him a little something fun to do in the house so today we painted!!

Here's the before shot...

Working hard at his picture

He's having fun!!

Afterwards while we were cleaning up-so cute!

Logan's just talking and talking. He's learning his colors and can recognize blue, yellow and green. He can now count to 3!!! We play hide and seek all of the time and he loves to count and then come find us. He also LOVES trains and says "choo choo" and signs "train" everytime he sees or hears one. (For those of you who don't know-we live really close to the train tracks.) He also loves to sing and dance. When I'm singing to him before he goes to bed, he's started requesting what song he wants to hear. And, he'll chime in with the ABC's and say the letters he knows. It's hilarious! He's also starting to string some words together. Today he dumped an entire salt shaker in the living room and then said "all gone." I couldn't help but laugh...
Things with us are busy as always but going well. We really enjoyed our trip but it was so sad that Logan wasn't feeling well. Shane's gearing up for storm season when all his guys will be running crazy, which means he'll be running crazy. We're trying to plan a few trips for the Spring/Summer and are determined to have some relaxing time!! Things are getting green here (you can kind of see our trees in the back in the pictures above.) Come on springtime!!!

I do have to vent about one thing though, and I'm sure you Mommies can understand...sometimes I just want 2 seconds to myself. I swear, he will be perfectly fine doing something and then as SOON as I leave the room he's running after me! I cannot even use the bathroom on my own. The other day he had big old crocodile tears because I shut the door to the bathroom. Really?? Sometimes a girl just needs a little privacy. I love him dearly, but sometimes he drives me nuts. Whew. It's exhausting sometimes! Then, the day is over and it's fixing dinner, bathing babies, reading books, storytime, bedtime, husband time.....where is the me time?? So, I wind up staying up late at night because it's the only time that I have just for me all day long-no one to wonder what you are doing or to check in with, no one to worry that they're dumping salt all over your living room or highlighting on your pillows....Okay, vent over : )

  2. Your vent~yep, totally get it!! At least I know I'm not the only one going "potty" with an audience. I get the crocodile tears too if I shut the door!
