On Monday Logan was "The Gingerbread Man" at school. He was really excited and kept running around yelling "Run Run as fast you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man" And then he would just giggle like crazy and run all around in circles. He said that none of the kids could eat him and that when the little boy opened the oven he jumped out so fast and ran away. His report for the day said he did a great job pretending to be the gingerbread man. Good thing the report mentioned this because even though he as was very he didn't say a word to me until I asked him about it. Then of course he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.
Logan's new thing about school when I ask him things is to reply with "But mommy, that's my secret, I don't want you to know" So now he is keeping his own things private. Who knows maybe one day he will bust out with all of his secrets and tell me all these wonderful things. Until then I at least know that he likes school because he likes to get there early so he can help his teacher. But I also know he misses me, because when I get there to pick him up he runs up to me and gives me lots of hugs and kisses.
Kolby got his first set of crayons yesterday and has been busy at making lots of masterpieces. I got him some really, really big crayons so that he stops eating them and breaking them. So far he likes to color for about 5 mins and then we move onto the next thing. He is getting better at communicating with me, even if he isn't speaking yet. I do think that he tries to say words and phrases but we just don't understand him, so I have started that if he sounds like he has said something that makes sense then I answer him correctly and repeat what I think he has said. It seems that this is working and that maybe some of the things he says are becoming clearer. He is really enjoying the days without Logan and having mommy all to himself. In fact I have to run because right now he is looking for me and wanting me to play with him. Later.

"Oh I can't remember"
So Logan just finished his third week of school. It's really only the second week that he has gone, but the third week of class. He was really sick last week with a terrible cough & cold so he stayed home all week. He still isn't better, but he is at least eating and behaving a little better. Both are a sure sign that he is on the road to recovery. He went ahead and shared his sickness with Kolby, who in turn shared his sickness with Eric & myself. So if you are wondering why I haven't written in a while there's your answer.
I wish I could share with you what Logan is doing at school. I am sure that you are interested and would love to know. Unfortunately the little boy who never stops talking (that's Logan) doesn't have anything to say about school. When I question him and ask him some different things that are on the calendar that the school sends home, he just says "Oh I can't remember." Yeah right, Logan can remember things from a year ago and he wants me to believe that he can't remember what he did 10 mins before I pick him up. Anyways who would have thought that I would have to drag information out of him. Eric assures me that with time he will tell us more and more about school. Every now and then I hear him singing an unfamiliar song and he will briefly tell me about it and how he learned it at school and then all of sudden he stops and says "Oh I can't remember" like if he is part of some secret society and he has made a promise not to tell anyone what they learn or do. Sometimes when he is really talkative he will say something like "Oh we did dot art in the messy room..." and then he just trails off really quietly and I can barely hear him and I already know not to ask because the answer is always the same "Oh I can't remember". I guess for now I will have to be content with his little lapse in memory when he actually shares the part of his day that I am no longer a part of. For now it is all I have from this part of his life.
Kolby is still pretty sick, but he is eating which means his ear infection is getting better. He is getting really big & smart. Now that Logan is in school he has time that he has desperately needed since he was born. He has needed time just the 2 of us. Not because I don't like Logan to be around, but just a baby needs that time with their mommy or daddy and unfortunately for Kolby he was the second born and he just hasn't gotten as much time as I think he may have needed. You can really see his brain working now that Logan isn't around to do everything for him. He plays a lot more on his own, because he is exploring and seeing what his toys can do. He is a lot more inquisitive and is always asking things in his own way and seeking answers from me. He has advanced so much in the pass couple of weeks, it amazes me in many ways.
I have to admit that after having Logan and it being just the 2 of us for 3 years Kolby seemed a little boring when he was born. I was like come on just do something. I have even wondered how I ever survived this stage with Logan because it has been somewhat boring. I had forgotten how interesting life becomes when your baby gets just a little older and starts to explore and realize concepts like up/down, on/off or when they really start to understand you. The 2 of you develop your own language and the world around you becomes something new to explore and then suddenly you remember how to see the world through your baby's eyes and you see it with all of this wonder and amazement. I think this may be one of the best stages in life. And I am so excited that I am going to go through it all again and this time it is a different baby so it will be all new and different from the last time.
I know at the end of really hard days, those kind of days you wonder why you had kids in the first place, this new wonder and amazement remind me not only why I had 2 kids, but why I wanted to be a stay at home mom. So as much as I miss Logan and I am sad that he is growing up and has started pre school, another part of me is so excited that he is growing up and starting pre school because now I get to have all these great experiences with Kolby and we get to have so much fun and have our special time, just the two of us.

Without A Doubt...
Kolby FINALLY started to walk all of the time. That's today though, who knows what he will do tomorrow. But today, he has walked all day long, everywhere we go, all by himself, without anyone telling him to. Who knows maybe his knees started to get sore. I am just glad that he is walking. I mean it's about time. He has been able to walk since he was 11 months old. I mean really walk, like take 10 steps at a time or walk across our living room. He has just refused to do it. Like on his birthday for instance, he walked with our instigation and a little on his own and then for maybe the next couple of days, but after that back to crawling 24/7 even when we tried to make him walk. So today I get up with the boys and I am sitting on the couch half a sleep and Logan says "Look mommy, Kolby sure is walking a lot" and I turn around and sure enough Kolby is walking through the whole kitchen in circles. I say to myself, okay maybe he wants to try something new. So for the rest of the day he keeps walking everywhere. Even when he falls he crawls to the closet spot to pull himself back up and starts walking again. So HOORAY for Kolby!
And today we went to the dr.'s with Logan. He is sick. Of course he is sick, he started school a week ago. He has a pretty nasty cough & cold. The dr. gave him some meds and hopefully it will start getting better in the next couple of days. He had to stay home today because school wouldn't let him go if he is coughing and a runny nose without a note. So I got my note from the dr. and hopefully they let him stay tomorrow. I just knew it wouldn't take long for him to get sick, but I did think at least a month or so. Geez, what are we going to do when flu season rolls around? Oh well, at least he was disappointed to miss school today. That is a really good thing since last week he didn't want to go. At least I know that he likes it, even if he doesn't admit it.
Make sure you visit the picture link on the side. I uploaded some new pictures. Mainly Aug, Kolby's birthday, & Logan's first day of school. The site is really cool. My mom is paying for it for the year. We can have unlimited uploads and space. Every page can have a different theme and you can customize it the way you want. You don't have to change the size of your pictures to upload them and someone else, you for instance, can download them to your computer at the full size, not some blurry thumbnail. You can have the pictures printed from the site or print from your machine. The best part is that he pictures are backed up on three different servers, so no losing your pictures here. And to top it all off the site is super user friendly. Once you upload you can move them around and do whatever with just a couple of simple clicks. I basically taught myself as I was doing it and never read a help tutorial. If you like the site let me know, because I can give you a code so that you can save some money when you sign up.
Well that's it for now, I am sure there will be more tomorrow. I mean I have 2 boys, how could there not be more tomorrow? Same place, same time.

As promised...
Here is finally a spot where you can come and read about the boys. I am going to try and do my best to keep this updated, but remember if they are doing cute things for me to post about then most likely they are keeping me pretty busy. I am going to try hard to do this daily, but to start I am going to aim for a couple of times a week. So here is the first official post of the boys blog. Just to update you Logan is sick. He has some sort of nasty cough and I am thinking that he is going to the doctors tomorrow because school won't let me bring him unless he has a note saying that the cough is not contagious. I actually think that it might be allergies so I guess we will have to see. Kolby who is deathly scared of thunder slept like crap last night because it rained and thundered all night. But then again he hasn't slept well in like a month, so who knows if it was really thunder. So that was our night.
