A typical day of Logan’s

Logan starts his morning out with a HUGE breakfast. Seriously, this kid can down 2-3 large pancakes and a cup of milk. He is just giving heed to the old saying, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” It is a good thing he get a good start because he doesn’t slow down from there.

We read our scriptures together in the morning. Logan looks either at his picture book version of The Book of Mormon or flips through the travel size version.
If Daddy is home, Logan gets to “work-out” with him. This consists of sitting on Daddy’s back while Daddy does push-ups, acting as a weight for bar lifts, being used as a medicine ball for sit-ups, and morally supporting Daddy while on a long run. Logan really likes to go for rides in his Chariot. On days that Aaron is at work, Logan will go and just sit in the Chariot.

Depending on the day, his mess starts in one room such as the kitchen. Here he can be found pulling all the stuff out of the drawers, or in our room at Aaron’s bookshelf removing everything in sight, or in the living room throwing all his toys out of the toy bin.

Now after making such messes, Logan gets to help clean up. He likes to sweep the tile in the kitchen and the carpet everywhere else. He will push the vacuum while I hold it up with the cord. He thinks that he is pushing it all by himself.

Unloading the silverware is one of his many chores. He takes this very seriously. In fact, he enjoys unloading so much that he will try to unload the dirty dishes.

He isn't quite old enough to help fold the laundry. So he is in charge of the hangers. He hands one to me when I ask him for one.

After our chores are done we get to walk to the park, read stories, and just have fun playing together. His nap time changes from day to day. Sometimes he takes two naps other days just one long one. Nap time has become my nap time or sewing hour. I am trying to finish a quilt before the baby gets here. Good news I am almost done.

Then around six we start dinner. Logan rocks at mixing things with the whisk or wooden spoon. He is very handy at unwrapping things and putting them into the pot or mixing bowl. After dinner is in the oven we wait for Daddy to get home. Logan will attack Aaron at the door.

Dinner is a fun event of the day. Lucky for us, Logan doesn't throw food. He likes to mash it around his tray and in his hair. Stuff in your hair automatically gets you a ticket to the bathtub! Bath time and bedtime are the last things in his busy day. He goes to sleep really well. Wouldn't you after a day like his?
