Learning sentences and a low key clean up day

Yesterday at the grocery store, Logan and Mommy ran into their friend
Kristen (Logan's friend Nicholas' Mom). Logan pointed to Kristen and
said, "Nick, Nick!" Mommy patiently explained that "No, that's Nick's
Mommy." So five minutes later when they ran into Kristen again at the
checkout line, Logan pointed and then said, "Mommy Mommy!" Mom then
corrected Logan again by saying, "No, that's Nick's Mommy." One last
time they ran into Kristen in the parking lot and Logan pointed at her
and said, "Mommy's Nick!" Mom decided to leave it at that.
Having said that, Logan is continuing to learn sentences.
Unfortunately, it is predominantly the following, "Me Want Truck", "Me
Want Out", "Me Want Malla" (Malla is vanilla milk, a little JuicePlus
powdered mixture of vitamins that goes into Logan's milk... which he of
course loves and always wants).
Mommy and Logan went to Kindermusik today and had a blast. Logan did everything Cathy, their music guide, asked. He even surpassed a fellow friend over a year Logan's senior. Was this a fluke, or is Logan truly enjoying the class now! Stay tuned for later classes to find out.
For dinner, we went out to Logan's favorite hip spot, Sammy's Pizza, where Logan enjoys the indoor playground, but not so much the food (Mom and Dad are weird in that they
like the food better than climbing in the playground).

Momma got up with Logan today and went to the Todd Mall area to walk
around and watch a school band play in the central area of the outdoor
pedestrian mall. Logan kept getting into the chained off garden area
and so Momma had to give Logan a few 'time-outs' for misbehaving. There
they saw Logan's pals Holly and Nicholas who happened to show up, so
Logan had a fun time with them. Back home for a nap, first Dad and
Logan played with Logan's big Tonka dump truck out front (hauling rocks
around). Inside, we all ate a hearty lunch of green peas and macaroni
and cheese, Logan wolfing down heaps. During that time, Grams and
Grampy also called to say hello and wish us well (Logan said a few words
to them as well). While on the phone, Logan turned on our full-sized
electronic piano and somehow managed to get a really funky beat going!
What made it so funny was the fact that Logan was on a cushion pillow
for added elevation and was tapping various piano keys with both hands,
all the while dancing and 'grooving' to the beat. Dad then got a
rebellious son into acceptance of a nap by grabbing a hold of Logan's
ankles, hanging him upside-down, and then swinging him up on to the
bed. A few quick stories later and Logan was in the crib and sound
asleep. After the nap, Dad was trying to wrap up some work getting
ready for the family's upcoming vacation with Logan's Auntie, Uncle, and
3 cousins, who will be visiting next Wednesday for about a month. So
Mom swept Logan up and into the runner-jogger stroller and off for a
walk. Logan was funny and cute in that he had to hold on to three of
his stuffed animals (his blue puppy dog, green turtle, and brown puppy
dog), but only for a little while after the walk started until he was
completely awake. A few minutes after the start of the walk, Daddy
finished doing what he needed to and caught up by bike. Momma's
favorite walk currently is along a back road full of trees that leads to
a small park, continued by a jaunt to the Boy Scout Hall where there is
a tough hill climb with rewarding scenic views. It's a great
heart-starter! Logan seems to really enjoy this walk as well and is
good about staying seated in the stroller. It's about an hour long
walk, just perfect for a bit of exercise for the decrepit parents. Home
again and we started to re-organize our 2-bedroom unit to prepare for
the additional 5 upcoming guests. Logan helped Momma do vacuuming (a
fun activity Logan enjoys thoroughly). A little later Daddy went out
to get food for dinner, evidently upsetting Logan with Dad's sudden
disappearance... and repeatedly saying "My Daddy" over and over until
his return. Dad and Mommy continued working after dinner with Logan
helping as best as a 22 month old can. Daddy was stopped for a while by
his workplace calling with a problem, but luckily was able to work
through it by telling his support people what to do over the phone and
so he didn't have to rush in.
