A Cold, Preschool, Haircut, and Swim Time

Poor Logan has been fighting a pretty bad cold for over a week now. His nose constantly runs and his eyes have yellow goop in them. Because he has had so much draining from his eyes, they are chapped underneath, so the poor kid looks like he has 2 black eyes!!! Some days he feels better than others, but he's definitely a lot more tired, especially with his swim lessons everyday. He is in pretty good spirits though and I'm definitely enjoying all the extra cuddle time. I know Glen is too; Logan actually sat and let Glen read him 8 books, which is a miracle. When he's feeling good, we can't usually make it through 1 book. Hopefully he's able to kick it in the next few days!! Below is a picture of him playing in my boots!! He loves putting on grown ups shoes and walking around the house!!
Many of you know Logan has unruly hair! It is extra fine and baby soft and sticks up everywhere!! We've tried wetting it down with water, using hair gel, but nothing seems to work. During the summer, we buzzed it down, but didn't want him with short hair while it was so cold out. So, we thought we'd grow it out this winter and see if that would help the unruliness! However, it didn't! So, I buzzed it down this week, just not as short as we use to do it. Hopefully this time around it will grow in thicker and heavier and maybe lay down better. But, he still looks absolutely adorable; it just makes him look older!!!
We also enrolled Logan in preschool for the fall! There is a nearby church, Sonrise, that offers Christian preschool. I've heard many good things from other parents, so we thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for Logan to work on skills we can't teach him at home (social interaction, sharing with other children), as well as further work on the skills he is learning at home. He will go 2 days a week for 2 hours in the morning. We took a tour of the school and classroom, as well as meet the teachers and Logan absolutely loved it. It's hard to believe he's old enough for preschool though! Where does the time go?
We just finished our third week of swim lessons. Logan is still crying during his lessons, but less often and not as hard! He is still doing very well. He is able to flip himself into a floating position, whether he's face down in the water or "standing" in the water. He swims to the wall well and is working on the swim float swim sequence. The next few weeks will get harder because she will stop giving them cues and have them rely more on the skills they are learning and less on her, since she won't be there if they ever get into trouble!!! It'll be interesting to see how much growth he gets in the next 3 weeks.
