The wheels on the truck...

Admittedly a long video, but it was too cute that we couldn't cut it. L got a new book for the holidays from his cousins Alex and Elena and here he is singing most of it on his own. He sings this song a lot, and it is probably the most requested book from his ever, growing library.

Some other fun pics around the house

Sometimes it seems that L goes down for a nap and wakes up just a bit wiser and older. Some days we can't keep up with all the changes and his developing vocabulary.

Here he is hard at work in filling up his sled with his toys to pick up at bedtime. He is a great little helper. And we are so grateful for his little Montessori school for valuing all that he can contribute around the house. He now fully sets the table, with "a plate for dada, a plate for mama, a plate for Logan" and it goes on from there. He helps "sweep" and put away his toys. He also enjoys putting clothes in the washer and into the dryer. And he also always puts away his dishes from the diswasher "all by himself".





This one is an early morning pic on the first day back at school, sporting his newly knit sweater from his Aunt Judy.



And this one happened out of nowhere, L wanted to "carry" one of his stuffed animals in the hugging wrap, so I fashioned one out of a scarf and he walked around giving kisses to his little bear for almost 20 minutes. It was terribly adorable.

Wintry fun...

Here are some fun in the snow pics. We got a late start with snow this year, but we have had snow on the ground since. L and J have been having a great time out in the snow, sledding, making snow angels, making snow balls, and so on.

Holiday pictures

Here are some pictures from the holiday season. We had a great time this year. Logan caught on quick to the packages arriving on our doorstep and what he was supposed to do with them "What's in that gifty?"



This one is of him checking out his new "cooking in cups" kit; we used it immediately that night to make potato gratin and Logan loved every second of filling the cups up with the potatoes to helping pour the cream and sprinkle the tops with cheese, and of course enjoyed eating out of them.



Here he is opening a gift--and enjoying the wreckage!




A little family pic the morning of...




Hammy shot of Logan in a too small Santa hat!



And this last one is the BIG gifty from Grammy and Pop Pop - a huge fire truck. It took a lot of patience to put it together but that was mostly because I had a hovering dog sniffing all the pieces that came out of the box and a toddler trying to climb all over it while putting it together and wanting it rideable that moment.
