This is a question I hear every few days at least. For some reason, Logan seems worried that he won't get bigger or won't grow up, or else he's just really anxious to be big! Last night, this was our conversation:
Logan: "I've been Logan for a long time now, I think it's time I had a turn being Brayden."
Me: "Your name is Logan, you will always be Logan."
Logan: "But if I'm always Logan, I will never be bigger."
Brayden: "You will always be Logan, but you can pretend to be Brayden if you want."
Maybe it has something to do with being the middle child and not ever getting to be the oldest or do things before anyone else. I wouldn't really know about that or understand being that I'm the oldest too, but I think I need to be more sensitive to that and try and make him feel special at the age he is at now.
He is really looking forward to ages 4 and 5 right now. When he is 4 he gets to go golfing with Brayden and Chris, something they did this summer that Logan wasn't old enough for yet. When he is 5, we get to go to the family reunion again and he gets to start kindergarten, something he has been looking forward to since this summer. Maybe I need to be better about creating memories for him now while he's 3 instead of making him wait till he's older to do the things he really wants? Either way, he is such a sweet boy who is really growing up too fast for my liking! I can't believe he is already 3-1/2!
