My son is a genius!

Matt had a coworker "John" drive him home the other night. Matt showed John around the house and when they came to the globe on the desk, Matt tried for a parlor trick with Logan. A few months ago when Auntie Kishy was in Hawaii, I showed Logan on the globe and he apparently remembered very well. So here is the conversation approximately:

Matt: Where's Hawaii Logan?
Logon: points to some random place.
Matt to John: Guess he forgot.
Me: I showed Logan where Auntie Kishy is and two weeks later he showed me.
Matt to Logan: Where's Auntie Kishy?
Logan spins globe around a couple times and then points to Hawaii!


I guess you just need to know how to ask the right question.

Cats & Fish

Logan is learning from his father. Yesterday, we were out on the deck, Logan picked up Asper and threw her in his pool. Poor cat. She jumped out and then Logan tried to catch her again. She was sucessful in evading him.

Today, I was downstairs downloading Taylor Swift's cd, Logan went upstairs. He seemed to be entertaining himself, so I continued playing on the computer. When I finally went up there to see what he was up to, he had caught his goldfish in his hands and carried him ~5 feet to put the fish in Matt's fish tank! I was very impressed!

Fishing!!!

So we went driving out to Mount Hood last Saturday so Grammie could see the mountain, but it was so foggy we could not even see it at the timberline. On the way home Matt saw a sign that said "Rainbow Trout Farm." We stopped by and it was awesome! There were ten different pond, seven we could fish from. Rods, reels, worms and bucket were all provided. So we cast Logan's little fishing rod out there and in about a sweconds we had a hit. He got loose while we reeled him in, so we put a new worm on and cast again, the second fish also got loose. But three times a charm and on our third cast we caught an eleven inch fish!! As soon as we cast out the line Logan and I just started reeling in. We caught four fish in less that five minutes! Three were eleven inches and one was 17!!! While we were trying to get a picture of our 17 inch fish it flopped out of Matt's hand and hit Logan in the face. He did not like that much. Matt and I then got to clean our fish. I haven't doned that in years. Matt pretty much only does catch and release, so he hasn't done it in a while either. Logan is very empathetic and did not like us cutting his fish. Poor guy. I think he had fun though.

Why am I awake before 7 on Saturday morning?

Oh, yeah...Logan. I see to have taught Logan that we sleep when it is dark outside. This morning at about 6:45 he woke up in my bed, he says "hot milk." (Luke warm milk, with a spoonful of Ovaltine.) I say "let's sleep longer." Logan points outside and say "no nite-nite mama." "Big light on." (big light is the sun.) On days like this I just need to remember that when he is 15 I will not be able to get him out of bed, right?

Madison rolled over!!!

I forgot to post this here, but Madison rolled over wednesday 9/9/09. You go girl!!!

Big Light

Logan got to sleep downstairs last night. When he woke up this morning all the blinds were up and he pointed out the window and said "Mama, big light turn on." (That means the sun came up.)

Broc-broc

We planted broccoli in the garden this year (I had a coupon for free plants). Logan doesn't much care for veggies, but he loves to hand-pick the broccoli and feed it to me. Great way to get my veggies!
