Logan and Tyler

Logan was inside crying because Tyler (the neighbor) elbowed him in the mouth giving him a fat lip. He told me that he then chased Tyler and was punching him when his dad stepped in. I told him that he wasn't allowed to hit, even if he was hit first, and carried him to the neighbors house so he could apologize.

So, Tyler and his mom came out to the front porch. Logan says, "First, next time we battle I'm going to totally destroy you. Oh. . .and sorry I punched you." (Imagine him saying this in the snarkiest voice possible.)

Tyler says, "Yeah. . .sorry I hit you in the mouth like this (shows what he did.) I meant to hit you in the chest.

Both boys then chuckled about how Tyler had meant to hit Logan and were friends again.

Trip to Idlewild

Kevin and I promised Logan that we would take him to Idlewild if he didn't get into any trouble at school last year. So, we waited until the last weekend of summer and took of with my parents.

Connor walked around with my mom and I. . .visiting all of Storybook park. Logan went with my dad and Kevin. . .riding all of the coasters and working on "conquering his fear of heights." By the end of the day, he felt better about heights but said that that didn't include riding the Ferris Wheel because that was "a different type of fear."

Overall, the trip was like any trip to an amusement park. So. . I'll stick to the highlights.

Connor was holding batman and a car (a.k.a. Vroom Vroom) and was also holding Grandma's (a.k.a. Anana Bach Bach's) hand. I asked him to hold my hand too. . and he looked from Grandma to me and didn't know how to do it. He ended up giving Batman to my mom. . but couldn't part with his car. He passed it from his left hand to his right hand trying to figure out how to hold all three. He finally opened his mouth and put his car in and reached out for both of our hands.

Logan and I were schooled in a game of Monopoly with Grandpa. Logan told Grandpa that it wasn't right for him to take money from his Grandson and tried to hold off the inevitable. During the game, the word jockstrap was brought up. Logan giggled and told us that it was a bra for men.

More later. . with pictures.
