Logan update

I am always posting on what Ashley has been up to so here is what Logan has been up to.

This year for Christmas Logan really got into the whole Santa concept because we would watch movies and shows that had Santa in them. Christmas lasted over a month for us since we had family come visit and bring presents for the kids to open and we did some webcaming to open presents. Today Logan asked me "open presents" and I told him Santa was done with presents for this year. Now we will just have to see if he lets Ashley open her birthday presents by herself.

We have been working on potty training with Logan since the end of September. The first couple months were pretty rough and there were times that I wanted to quit. Right around Christmas Logan started telling us when he needed to go and we started to have fewer accidents. Now we are at the point where he just needs pull-ups at nap time and bedtime. Sometimes we get really lucky and he will wake up dry.

Logan's vocabulary keeps growing all the time. Sometimes he has trouble saying all the words that are running through his head because he starts to stutter and mix up the order. But for the most part we know what he is saying. There are times he tells me things and it makes me laugh because of how he is explaining what is happening (usually bodily functions).

A hard concept for a 2 year old is sharing. Logan does a pretty good job of sharing when he wants to. Something that we have been working on is that if Ashley is playing with a toy and he wants to play with that toy, he should give her a different toy to play with. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't because Ashley doesn't always want to give up the toy or Logan doesn't give her a comparable toy to play with. Another thing Logan has learned is that if he doesn't want Ashley to play with his cars, then they have to be somewhere where Ashley can't reach them (usually the dining room table). Now we just need to get him to interact with other kids his age more often.
