A Whole New World...of Octonauts

It has become very obvious the last few days that if you want to have a clue what Logan is talking about, you need to watch at least one episode of Disney channel's Octonauts show (it's on here at 12:30 weekdays). Logan has an active imagination and his play revolves around that show. He is constantly talking about the octopod, the octohatch, the Gup-E, the characters - Quazi, Peso, Captain Barnacles, Shellington, Tweak, and the vegetables. We go on missions to rescue animals and each other. The vegetables cook our food for us (wouldn't that be nice), and Peso is the medic who heals anyone who's sick. Sound fun? You can be a part of it, too. My suggestion? If you want to feel included in what's going on with Logan, tune in to the Octonauts before we see you next.

Logan funnies

Logan told me two different times yesterday that if I didn't have a ponytail then I could stand up to go potty. Apparently that's how he distinguishes boys from girls. Girls have ponytails, boys don't. I can see us having some issues in the future.

When we were at Target yesterday, we were in a rather small aisle (they are remodeling) and Logan kept saying, "What's that big thing?" I wasn't sure what he was referring to and I certainly hoped it wasn't the woman just down the aisle from us. Turns out it was. She was quite pregnant and Logan was talking about her belly. Fortunately, she was a small woman and handled the whole thing very well. Coulda been pretty awkward.

I learned this week that I need to proofread the library books we bring home BEFoRE we read them to Logan. We recently checked out a book called Froggy's Halloween. It seemed cute enough. It was plenty cute until it taught my 3-yr-old to say, "Trick or treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat. If you don't, I don't care. I'll pull down your underwear." Logan thinks it's pretty funny. Lovely. The potty humor years are beginning a couple of years early.

I complimented Logan at the dinner table tonight for eating his dinner well and not whining. His respponse was, "I just whine when we have green dinner." (little did he know that his orange soup was chock full of vegetables. He he. I love my immersion blender.)
