Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

A Nickname for Logan

Every now and then Logan decides that he wants a new name. It's usually something like "Spiderman" or "Superman" or "Puppy Dog" depending upon what he's into playing with at the time. We humor him and call him whatever he wants. What's the harm? Logan's newest nickname; however, this is one for the books. He came up to me the other night while I was sitting on the sofa and said "Mommy, can you call me a different name?" Of course I assured him that it would be no problem and asked him what name he would like to be called. His response? "Buck Wild"...seriously! So, for the past few days, my sweet little boy has gone by the name Buck Wild.

When he first told me this name, I sat there in disbelief for a moment, then bust into laughter, which ended with a few tears. I finally pulled myself together enough to ask him where he had ever heard of such a name. (After all, I was sitting there wondering what kind of television shows his Dad was allowing him to watch when I wasn't home.) He politely reminded me "It's the weasel's name on Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs". What a character to emulate!

Now That Logan is 5...

Now that Logan is 5, I thought it would be good to do a quick interview with him to document his likes and dislikes as well as his future plans.

Favorite Number? 1, because it's the first number.
Favorite Color? Blue Red
Favorite Food? Vegatables because they make you big and strong.
Favorite TV Show? Backyardigans because they help you learn.
Favorite Movie? The Lion King
Favorite Toy? Red Motorcycle
Best Friend? Cole & Cassidy because they're twins and because they have black hair.
Favorite Teach? Mrs. Dawson
Favorite Game? Wii Toy Story
What do you want to be when you grow up? I'm still thinking about that. Maybe a Dad.
Favorite Song? I love a lot of music CDs but mostly my sleeping music.
Do you have a girlfriend? Yes, Cassidy. But I'm not going to marry her.
Why not? Because...just because...because I don't want to kiss. That's why. Is that a good reason?
