Napkins & Graham crackers

Logan was out of daycare for almost a week due to our combined illnesses of ear aches, stomach bugs and pneumonia. I think this break made him realize how much he really enjoys being there with his teachers and friends, because now when I go to pick him up, he wants to stay and play. I don't mind this, because I love  just simply watching him and seeing what he does at his school.

Earlier this week when I came to pick him up, it was nap-time and he was still sleeping. Not wanting to wake him I sat next to him until he woke up. I think it was like Christmas morning for him when he woke up at school and I was there! He snuggled in my arms for a while and then when I told him we would be leaving, he said "No." Okay it was really, "No no no no." Even worse, he wouldn't stand up! My son was acting like his legs were made out of jell-o so that he could stay at school. We finally made our way out of the nap room and into the front room. I tried to put on his jacket but he wanted nothing to do with that. Logan ran over to the  toys and books and wanted me to join him. I put his jacket back in his cubby, realizing that we were here to stay. We read books, played with dolls, and I enjoyed seeing him with his classmates.

Then it was snack time so I decided he might as well stay for this. I never thought that snack time would be the moment of my day where my sons love is once again shown to me ten fold. Logan sat down in his tiny chair and per his request, I sat down next to him, in the same sized chair. His teacher handed him a napkin and Logan waited to see if I also got one. I of course, did not, so he took his napkin and slid it over in front of me. He then motioned to the teachers that he was now in need of one for himself. I sat there smiling, so proud of my loving and nurturing son.

Then it was time to pass out graham crackers. Before they even got the graham crackers onto Logan's napkin, he skipped right to drawing attention to my empty napkin, and made sure that the teachers knew I was to get a graham cracker. And so I did. However, when the yogurt and water was passed around, he could have cared less if I had any of that stuff. It's okay though, I didn't want a yogurt and really didn't feel like drinking out of a sippy cup....I like to think that Logan already kew that.
