A little update

I know we have been a bit MIA lately, but I am just going to admit it...I have been lazy. But, I have taken a slew of pictures lately and finally uploaded them. So here is what has been going on in the last month.

This is one of our more quiet moments. Logan after dinner get 30 minutes of TV and has dessert. This was the first time he decided to lie down, using Pooh as a pillow and nibble on some pear. I must have tired him out this day :)



I try to be somewhat creative at mealtime for this picky eater, but there is one lunchtime meal that is always a winner. Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Since I have never really been a bib-mom, when I do try to save shirts on days like this it is not usually worth the bib tantrum. So, this mess goes straight to the wash.




We went on an adventure day, which included the train. Logan LOVES the train. This day we went to Prahran Market. I had heard that they had a great little area for kids and it did not fail. Play area under cover, a real carousel, and a children's musician. What a great way to spend the morning. But, the best part was the train ride back. It was quiet in the train so I pulled him out of the pram (which I don't usually, because he is quite content staring out the window.)It was sooooooo funny. My shy little boy sure is not shy anymore. He was flirting with the lady behind him, playing peek-a-boo, laughing hysterically. I do not think I have laughed so hard in a long time. Can't wait for our next train excursion.








Friday is big park morning. We had two play dates today. One with Anders and the other with my mothers group. This was a priceless park day because it seemed the the toddler fairy was out because all of these kids we so happy. And now they are really starting to interact with one another other than parallel play, which is so nice to see, and means that the mums get to gossip a bit more.

I am having a bit of a blog problem here and I can't separate these two videos. Weird. Anyway, one is of Logan strumming away on the guitar and doing a little singing. It was his first concert.. a little musician in the making :)

The other one is of the two monkeys driving the train at the park.

My cutie pie

These two boys were having a swinging competition. Who could be upside down the longest

My piggy-face

Today our car battery died, and while waiting for RACV we let Logan take over controls. And it was the new park after that, he did not want to get out. He was in there before, during and after RACV left. He drove, pushed all the buttons...

there was even a bit of time for reading.

And after dinner, Logan grabbed dad's shoes asking for another round in the car -- no the backyard. Funny little man.

Soccer Star

We started soccer lessons a couple of weeks ago and Logan is crazy about it. We walk into the gym and there are little soccer balls everywhere and he starts running around, throwing and kicking the balls. He's so cute. Today was the first day we tried on the "official" uniform for Soccer Time Kids. It did not go over well at first, I think the material was a bit weird for him. But he got used to it pretty fast and then we were off to another fun lesson. However, today I think I got as much exercise as he did as he was a bit defiant going off in all different directions instead of listening to coach -- my little monkey!

Escape Artist

This little man did not want to nap on this particular day. After playing, and talking, screaming and crying he tried a new tactic -- trying to escape his crib. He did not succeed this time, but I'm sure we are not too far away.

At the Children's Farm

Every 2nd Saturday of the month the Collingwood Children's Farm has a Farmers Market, which has been a great find. A beautiful 22 degree day, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, yummy cheese, food stalls, coffee, organic juices. What more could one ask for? Children's entertainment -- and today they had this mariachi guy. He was fantastic, played some classic Mexican songs and then some children's songs. He had musical instruments for the kids to play. Fun for all.



Oh, it's round...this must be a ball, right mum?



Dad's been teaching Logan to play with a hockey stick and puck. This apple and boomerang seem to resemble the puck and stick and did in a pinch.



Taking a music break and shooting back some yummy organic apple juice.



And after so much fun at the market, we went and visited the animals. Logan's favorite was this cute goat that just loved eating grass from Logan's hand. Logan's favorite part was ripping the grass out to feed it to him :)

Fun new game

Logan just thinks it's the funniest thing when one of us is in the bathroom and we stick our fingers underneath. He just laughs and laughs and tries to chase our fingers. It really is too cute for words.

Logan's favorite pass time

Getting Logan started early on chores, and it is something he absolutely LOVES to do...sweeping, and loading the washing machine!

mmmm...watermelon

There is nothing better on a hot day that a nice slice of watermelon. However, this little man thinks that one slice might not be enough. No, this little man is working a whole quarter of a melon...and by looks of it, succeeding :)
