So, I'm really thinking Logan loves to flirt. He sees girls, he's like, "oh ya, they talk to me and pick me up, and tickle me" and all I have to do is smile! I went to the store today and decided I really didn't want to go myself so I got Rich to go and that meant Logan had to go also. (Rich could really care less if he entered another store again in his life). Which was ok, cause my experience with Olivia was, you really never knew when that child would flip out in the store and it was always nice to have another adult with you when it happened. So I must say i went on pin and needles not really knowing what he would do. Well.......he was tired so I thought he would go to sleep on the way there, nope eyes were wide open when we got there. So okay, maybe he would fall asleep in the store, he had to fall asleep sometime. So he kept closing his eyes and opening them. He didn't fall asleep until the ride home and by then he had pooped so i had to wake him and change him when we got home anyway! Go figure. But he was funny. The women love him and they kept coming up and saying "oh, how cute is he, how old is he". People give you a funny look and say how small he is when you tell them he is 51/2 months old. So he would start this fussy little whine and the girls would come over and talk to him and he would smile like crazy. So overall it was a good trip and he is certaintly different than Olivia was. He was very interested in everything going on.
Let me back up to his NICU follow up appointment. First they had him doing developemental task for a infant of 3-4 months old. logan just reached 3 months old (corrected age) so he didn't do very well, but they figured he wouldn't. Really his 5 months old age doesn't mean much, except for a early b-day! Overall it went well. He weighs 11lbs.12oz. now so he's growing like a bad weed. We had a eye opener at the appt. It was in the Neurodevelopmental floor and it wasn't very fun to see those kids in there as a lot of them were in wheel chairs and one girl threw a major fit while we were there and they had to wheel her out and poor Logan just kept looking around, i thought for sure he was going to start crying, but he didn't. I think Children's Hospital is a wonderful place, but it's not a place that i thought I would visit too often after Logan broke out of there! It can be a sad place. Especially when it involves kids that are sick or handicapped. Last but not least i have to tell you about "Johnny". I don't remember if that was his name or not, but we will go with it. I really try not to judge people, but sometimes people really bring it on themselves. That being said, there was this mother there with "Johnny". Now she has 2 eyebrows piercings, a oversized t-shirt, and her hair is looking kind of like it's screaming for it's next washing.....okay, you get my drift. She spies logan sitting on my lap and the first thing she says is "Johnny, look at this little baby". Well if you know me well, you know that those are words that absolutley go thru me like a knife blade. Okay, it's bad enough it's cold/flu season, but add in somebody you don't know, and the first thing kids love to do is touch baby's HANDS. Where do you suppose Logan's hands are always? Right, in his mouth..........well luckily, "johnny" didn't move quick enough and they called logan's name, so he didn't get to touch logan! Sorry, I'm by far a germ-freak, but I can't take that and it makes the hair stand up on my head. I know.......kids will be kids!
Finally, Olivia has been writing books, okay novels. This child loves to write. This new found freedom on writing words on her own has gone to new levels. So with lots of stock of tape and staples, she has made books and folders for these books. She scored a 99% on her report card.....woo-hooooooo! She missed a point for writing all her numbers backwards! Yeah, talented enough to write them backwards and when i said you wrote them all backwards except for 0, and 1, she said "how do you write those backwards", i said that's why they are right, you can't write them backwards! LOL She is having a presentation at school tomorrow, so hopefully the weather will hold up. She has a part with a partner then by herself at the very end. i will have to tell the story about how she went to school and kept saying "i'm still practicing my part" even though she knew it, which caused the teacher to email me about it in case she had to replace her! GIRLS. I will also have to tell the conversation about how she thinks she now has 2 boyfriends!
