All About the Boy!

A 2 year old's list of favorites

Favorite Song
To sing -- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
From his CD's -- Elephant Walk from the JoJo's Circus soundtrack.
From the radio - Chain Gang (Or whatever the proper name is!)

Favorite Food
Anytime "meal" food - Strawberry or Strawberry Vanilla Yumsters Yogurt
Snack - He says its grapes but I think its vanilla pudding
Overall favorite thing to ingest - Chocolate!

Favorite Book
Oh who can keep up. He changes his favorites daily. He can't, however, go to bed without acting out "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear" first. Say it with me folks "Teddy Bear Teddy Bear turn around. Teddy Bear Teddy Bear touch the ground. . ."

Favorite TV show
Logan doesn't really have a favorite since we don't watch much TV - esp now in the great weather. He does enjoy just about anything on Playhouse Disney though and will sit and watch a show while we get ready in the morning.

Favorite bath toy
An old sippy cup or an empty bottle of baby bath. He likes to fill it with water and dump it on his head. He also likes bringing his plastic cars in the tub with him, his plastic tools...anything that is essentially not made to be a bathtoy.

Favorite toy
Inside -- Who can keep up with a fickle kid that changes his mind with each waking moment. As I write this he's in the midst of an hour long stretch of play with Thomas and Friends. He's attaching freight car boxes (aka blocks of wood) to the back of each engine to create snow plows to, I'm guessing, plow through the insidious piles of dog fur. Before that we played with his new plastic tool set - yes, a black plastic hammer will leave marks on your wall. :)

Outside - that's a bit easier, he loves most anything he can do outside, but he's particularly enamored with his sandbox.

Favorite place to go
Grandma's house (Papa only lives there you know. It *is* Gram's house according to Logan.) He's also a particularly big fan of the beach - he can spend hours there playing in the sand or sticking his toes in ice cold water.

Favorite thing to say
Being silly -- Logan little goofy nut. Papa is BIG goofy nut.
Being independent -- NO! GO away! I do myself!
When playing -- Scoop it, lift it, dump it!
When being loving/flattering -- Give kiss. I love you. - OR - My mommy pretty little girl.

Favorite outfit
In the "if I could I'd wear it daily" category we luckily have four t-shirts -- a Thomas shirt, a crane shirt, a backhoe shirt and a dump truck shirt. Surprised?

Although truth be told, if Logan had his way, he'd be "naked baby" more often than one with clothes on. Give him a chance to run before you get clothes on him and he's off yelling gleefully "NAKED BABY! Naked baby!" Luckily Naked Baby is willing to play this game with a diaper on.

Favorite video/DVD
He doesn't have one specific favorite, but any of the Tommy ones will do.

Favorite store
Target - yes, he loves Target. He begs to go to Target. Of course, part of that is the fact that he's convinced he's getting a Hot Wheels car every time he's there.

Favorite activity that does not involve a toy
If its not a book its arts and crafts. In fact he'll stand at the base of his high chair or at his picnic table outside and he'll beg "Mommy! Arts and Crafts now PLEASE!" Anything he can glue is a winner but he's also happy with markers, crayons and paints. Lately he's got this thing for trying to cut paper with his blunt blunt toddler scissors. Only trouble is he needs two hands to work the "cutters" (as he says) so someone else needs to hold the paper taut and straight. He's also a HUGE fan of the Googly eye, the pom-pom and glitter. Give him something to glue those on and he's in heaven. Walls throughout the house are loading up with his artwork.
