ABC's of Logan

In March, Logan had a special week at school just for him. That Friday was a "Beary Special Me" day and we got to come in and do a little presentation about Logan. It was a lot of fun. My plan was to make a cute little ABC photo book to show the class about him, but Logan insisted that whatever we did had to be a game! So, I came up with the idea to bring a box of things that represented things A to Z and the kids could pick an item and then guess which letter it went to, and I made some posters to put up pictures of him that went with the letter as we went. It got a little too complicated and long for Kindergarten, which my sweet husband tried to tell me before hand, but I was too far into it to change... Logan with his posters

Logan and his teacher

Our fam at Special Me Day! Logan was SO happy that Grandma Boman was able to come. He had been telling her for MONTHS that "everyone's grandma comes to special Me Day"! She had to make special arrangements to leave work, but he was so happy she was there! It was a fun day! We brought doughnuts for the treat and Logan loved his day!

I haven't got a book made yet, but I thought it would be fun to post so at least I have it somewhere. So....Here are the ABC's of Logan

This was when Logan became a big brother - He was only 21 months old but he loved his sister Rylee and wanted to hold her at the hospital over and over!

The day Logan met Avery. The kids couldn't visit me in the hospital because of all the swine flu stuff, so they had to wait a few days. They were so excited to finally meet her!

Q-QUICK WITTED

I had to get a little creative on this letter! Logan loves to laugh! He has a very contagious laugh and when he is laughing, soon everyone is laughing. He says lots of funny things and loves to tell jokes. When he was younger, he had to tell Darren a joke every day before he left for work or school or there would be tears. It was the SAME joke almost every day, too. "Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other SLIDE!" I know you are laughing...

He is a BIG fan of the Aggies and goes to their football and basketball games and sometimes even hockey and gymnastics (he rode the Zamboni!) He also loves Real Salt Lake soccer and recently went to his very first Jazz game! He got a basketball hoop for Christmas when he was 2 and has played basketball all the time ever since. Once when he was about 18 months old, we sent him out to play in the snow at Grandma's. All he wanted to do was shoot at the BIG hoop and he kept going to the garage for a ball and got himself stuck in a bucket. All you could see were hit boots sticking out of the top and he was stuck! It was hilarious! When he was little he would say, he played golf like Tiger Woods, football like Reggie Bush, and basketball like John Stockton. He could barely talk but he would rattle off their names so quick. It was hilarious!

Logan is a BIG fan! He even makes posters when he watches the game at home. He cracks me up!
