That little superhero named Logan

Logan, my little silly man. Logan truly believes that every one of us was put onto this earth for HIS entertainment. He is NOT my shy child. My other two suffer from some serious shyness, at times. Logan, nope. The Entertainer.

Logan is also my daredevil. He is no longer scared of his shadow. He now has to be reminded that broken bones hurt. Which he knows first hand.
For his 4th birthday, on a Friday, he got a big boy bike. Delaney did too. They rode them around the kitchen floor that night. The next day, Rob went outside to tighten up bolts, pump tires, etc.
He turned around and in a second, CRASH!!! Logan sat on his bike and tumbled down the paver stairs in the back. Two to be exact, onto the stone driveway.

His arm swollen, his hand limp and screams that would not stop..off to RWJ in Hamilton. Which led to a long ambulance ride to Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. They wanted to heli-vac him. Umm, no!

On Sunday he had surgery. He broke the long bone in his arm and crushed his elbow. He needed three pins put in. Logan, being very dramatic anyway, was not the ideal patient but the pain must have been horrendous. Especially when we realized he is a Willan - meaning no meds worked as they should. He had a reaction to them, he reacted to anestesia. We got through it. McDonalds IN the hospital helped.
In the end, he still managed smiles, he still made me laugh. He was still The Entertainer.

We spent August in a cast (batman to be exact). We spent September limiting his activities since he needed to regain strength. It is hard to stop a 4 year old boy from rough housing.

Of course, though all this, with cast in arm, we had to remind him that couch diving is not a smart idea. Jumping off the 4th stair is probably a bad idea. Trying to jump from bed to bed is not a good activity. You get the idea.

I learned something new about Logan. Logan never sang to kiddie songs and I thought - CAPD, here we go! Who knew Logan was such a rockstar. He loves Nickelback and all kinds of rock. Rush, VanHalen, The Who! He sings in his kareoke machine, often, every day. Its hysterical. So he may never sing Twinkle Twinkle but give him some radio music and he can sing. Whew, we can check that off the CAPD list. Singing Fire Burning is my favorite though. He has this teeny high pitched voice. It makes it more charming.

This fall Logan started his second year at CPNS. He is very controlled in school. I must say it again, why can't we see some of this calm controlled behavior at home? He is a dream child, the teacher says. OK, I agree with that. He is my dream too.
Last winter Laney and Logan took a tumbling program at the Y and I considered putting him in gymnastics or karate this year. That broken arm got in the way and well, we have some attention span issues. Maybe later this year he will start an activity. He needs something for this energy of his!
For Halloween he was spiderman. He is the only kid I know who did not care about buying a new costume. I kept trying to get him to choose one and finally quit. He said he would be something in our dress up box..and he was..spiderman. He loved it and I loved the fact it was free. Even though, it just meant Aidan got the more expensive Darth Vader costume. LOL Logan loved Halloween, he is my sweet tooth..the more candy the better!

When I ask Logan about the future, he always says that when he grows up, he wants to marry mommy. We will live together in red house, eat chicken nuggets, and hold hands. What is not to love about that vision?
