let's see if this works! This video is actually from October.

Logan....My Logan....

I've been wanting to write about my sweet boy for so long. It's hard to put into words all that he is and all that I feel for him. It's easy to write about Arden. She is constantly saying the funniest things and doing the sweetest things that I want to share them all. Logan on the other hand is slowly growing away from me and really from the whole family. He has a hard time with Arden (typical annoying little sister things) He is really starting to challange the alpha male (that would be Paul) And he and I really don't get a whole lot of time together any more.

He is however, and always be my sweet boy. My true love. My baby. To see him now with his peach fuzz and to hear his voice start to lower is really cool. You always know that one day your kids will be taller than you but when it actually happens it is the most bizarre experiences.

So when does it change for me? When do I stop wanting to grab him and hold him on my lap and kiss all over him like I did when he was little? I mean I don't see other mothers with grown sons doing that. It's like the book LOVE YOU FOREVER where the mother sneaks in her sons window, after he is grown and out on his own, and rocks him back and forth saying" I'll like you forever, I'll love you for always, as long as I live my baby you'll be". Okay, like that is so gonna be me!

I will say that as of yet he actually still likes me. (Sally Field) Yes he does! He still asks me to hang out with him while he shoots hoops. He still wants me to watch his skating shows. ( Big and Rob and if any of you haven't discovered that show yet your missing out!) and best of all he still askes me to tuck him in every night. And by god no matter how tired I am I am going to tuck that boy in until he stops asking. It's the best! He wants me to sit with him and he tells me all about his day and what is going on in his life. It's our only time together alone and It means more to me than I can express.

I am so incredibly proud of the person he is. Everyone who knows Logan loves him. Countless adults and friends go out of their way to share with us what a great kid he is. He is always smiling, always polite, is sweet to little kids and helps everyone he can( even his little sister but only for me) He is fun and funny and I love being around him. He is growing to be a great person and someday soon a great man.

It is true what they say about how a mother feels about her sons. It is simply like nothing else. I adore him.
