Logan is 4

My first born turned 4 on 4-4! He is such a big kid now.

WHY does he look so BIG here?! 

We blew up some balloons and put them in his room and he got to open up his present.  The movie Big Hero 6.  He loves Baymax and was very excited!

Since the next day was Easter, we decided to have his Super Hero party (per his request on the theme!) a few weeks later.  Saturday was all about Logan and we let him pick all the meals that day.


Breakfast: Pancakes.  This boy would eat pancakes everyday is we let him.

Lunch:  Chi-Fil-A! That's right.  He pronounces it without the "ck" at the end of "chick" and his favorite are the "bumpy" nuggets.  I have no idea why he calls them bumpy nuggets.

Dinner:  Pizza.  Nothing better  cheaper than a $5 Hot N Ready!

I made him a Funfetti cake which he "helped" me make.  Needless to say, we did not eat great on Saturday, but Logan felt special.

Daddy took him to a car show that night, he had fun.  That little boy loves him some race cars.

Logan is the funniest kid.  This is by far my most favorite age.  He is so imaginative and loving.  But stubborn and knows how to push his boundaries as well!
He loves to watch movies.  He loves his little brother.  He loves to play with his trucks and reading books.  He loves to "help" me clean.  He does not want our help with anything, wants to do everything himself.  He is not a risk taker.  It takes him a while to warm up to strangers and new situations.

Food: He still loves all "kid food" Hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken nuggets, peanut butter and jelly and macaroni and cheese. He likes "square cheese", poptarts, eggs, bacon, golfish crackers, fruit cups.  He has also expanded his pallet to grilled chicken,sausage, beans (some), and still no green ANYTHING. His all time favorite breakfast is pancakes.  He requests it every morning.  And I think the kid would eat bacon at every meal.  We are going to try really hard this year to get him to eat more veggies or at least try them.  We will see how that goes.  His favorite places to eat are: Chick-fil-A, Whataburger and McDonald's (which he calls "Old Macdonalds).  He will always say he wants a happy meal, not a sad meal from that place.

We headed to the doctor for his 4 year check up.  He has NEVER been a fan of the doctor.  He was in and out of there so much when he was little.  At his 3 year check up, he was better, but still leery.  He got no "owies" at that appointment so that was great.  However, not the case when they turn 4.  We did not tell him he was getting shots either.  He would have had a full blown meltdown.  He weighed 38 pounds and is 3 ft, 6 inches tall.  He is going to be a tall boy! They checked his hearing and vision which was perfect, he thought it was fun to put the headphones on.  He did very well talking to the doctor.  Then she left and the nurse came in and he knew what was happening.  He cried of course, but all was well in the world when the nurse came in and gave him a sucker and a superman sticker.  Then afterwards we let him pick where we would go eat lunch.  He picked "water-burger" and got his favorite, a bacon cheeseburger!

I really cannot believe he is 4.  One more year at daycare, then he goes to kinder! Which we have to figure out soon.  I have some schools in mind that I want him to go to and it is not the one we are zoned to.  So we might be putting our house up for sale like the end of this year.  Fun.  But that is another blog post some other time.

Logan, buddy, you are such a sweet and caring, yet stubborn and silly boy! We love you so much!
Super-hero party is on for this weekend! Can't wait to hang out and celebrate with friends and family. We will be taking him to see a Monster Truck jam in Austin next weekend, so that will be fun!
