A little of this A little of that:)

It's been an eventful time, let me tell you. We got our cat and surprisingly we didn't have to really train him to do anything! He's taken with Logan and these two beat each other up day in and day out;) It gives Logan someone to play with! We went to Ozark, AL to see my grandparents and to go to Christopher's 5th(time flew fast) birthday party- Grandma and Grandpa are doing pretty good. Grandma remembered me for the most part- even remembered Logan, which was my main concern. Grandpa was his normal self;) I wish we could see more of them. Christopher had a great party and I learned NEVER to take Jerry and Logan to Toy's R Us EVER AGAIN! Though, while shopping, I did find some great Christmas Ideas for Logan this year... Road trips are never really easy with a toddler, UNLESS Paw Paw and Andma are there...(didn't spell grandma wrong- that's how Logi pronounces it). If he even whimpered, he got anything and everything. I don't think I had to really worry about him except for bedtime because he was always clinging to PawPaw this trip. I'm so glad we were all able to go and see family and just hang out like we used to. Not much has changed up there! While we were up there, Jerry and I had a hard time putting Logan to bed one night and have decided when we got back home, we would try different discipline and bedtime routine. So far(its only the 2nd day), it's going well. We have stopped spanking for the most part(saved for VERY last resort), and we pop his hand or put in into time out. Right now, he has a problem with hitting again, so as soon as he hits someone, its timeout. I even took him to Walmart this morning to pick out his own bedding for his toddler bed. We figured that maybe if we made it fun for him, he would want to sleep in there again.
