Logan Explains Dreams
This morning, as is typical of most mornings, Logan was in my bed when he woke up around 7. We were chatting about who-knows-what when he started telling me about his brain and sleeping.
Logan: Mommy? Did you know that even when you are sleeping, your brain is awake?
Me: Yes, I did know that!
Logan: Ya, and your brain sends pictures to your eyes!
Me: You’re right…that’s called dreaming.
Logan: I didn’t have any pictures in my eyes last night (pause)…Did you know that when I have pictures in my eyes, my whole body feels like I’m really doing stuff?!
kids explaining things is cute!
And in other news, Daddy was gone yesterday on a “boy’s weekend” with some friends. We were house-bound due to a delivery and in desperate need of an activity. I moved the dining room table, taped paper to the floor, traced the boys and let them loose with paints.
Logan and Aiden had just finished watching an episode of Zulu Patrol (I think that’s what it’s called…it was the first time I had ever seen it). They were learning about how moons are created around the different planets. Logan was painting a picture of “The Big Whack” which is how Earth’s moon was created (who says TV can’t be educational?!) My favorite part of our art activities is listening to the “story” of their creations. Logan and Aiden also spent a lot of time “making up new colors” which is pretty cool, but apparently uses up a great deal of paint!
Total set up time: 10 minutes; Total activity time: 30 minutes; Total clean up time: 20 minutes…a break-even activity I guess
About Me
- Renay
- Stories about BRLAB: Brian & Renay, two relatively sane parents, and our three adorable, but active boys: Logan - 9, Aiden - 7 and Brady - 6. I started this blog to document our adventures and milestones for those family members who are far away and can't always share the fun in person. This blog has become my way to keep track of everything in the lives of my growing boys - from the super big stuff that seems the most important to the small things that probably really ARE the most important. I always include tons of pictures because I plan to make a book out of the blog on a yearly basis. Time flies by so fast, I can only hope that these posts will help us remember all the wonderful and silly times we have together as a family.

Break even is a success! It's never fun with set up/ clean up are longer than the actual activity. Next time, call me when you're alone for a stretch!
What an awesome project and an even more awesome Mom. Actually, I would consider break even a success! Anything that keeps those 3 occupied for 30 whole minutes is a winner! Love the dream explanation. He is just so precious!
