So today I start my day off the best way possible these days....a phone call from Aaron. The boys of course were making it hard for us to talk but still hearing his voice is always nice. We ended up getting off the phone so I could get the boys breakfast. After that I decided to call and see about getting a professional opinion on whether or not our theories for Logan getting sick could be true. Well luckily I got him an appointment at 3:00 this afternoon. He was actually excited about it and kept asking me all day when it was going to be time for "his appointment." But while waiting we headed out to find me that ugly Christmas sweater. I found one, wasn't exactly what I wanted but ugly enough. I wouldn't be caught in this thing outside of this party so it will do. Logan kept asking me if he could get an ugly sweater!!! He settled for a little toy. We went to Micheal's, I was hoping to find some crafty stuff there to add to this ugly sweater...but I didn't find anything that I just had to have. But of course I couldn't walk out of there without something. So I bought some stuff for Logan and I get crafty with and make some candy and puppets. We will see how that goes. I always get these great ideas but they never turn out the way I hoped. Oh well, at least we will have fun trying. After that we headed to Logan's appointment. We had to wait forever and of course Lane was tired and fussy. But finally they called us back. The lady, Ms. Maggie, was a sweetheart. Logan pulled out the hungry hippo game and the two of them played. While playing she would ask him questions. She found what I already knew to be true...Logan HAS to win. He is such competitor! After they talked for a little bit she asked if I thought Logan would talk with her while I was out of the room. I asked him and he said ok. I assured him I would be back. I think she wanted to see how he acted when I left. I stayed gone about 20 minutes and when I returned the door was open and Logan ran up to me with a paper he had typed and printed out to send to his daddy. It was just a bunch of kid typing and at the bottom it said "Love, Logan." She put the letter in a sheet protector so it wouldn't get messed up. Logan wants to mail it. So we will. She told me he was very deliberate in his typing. She said it was like he was really saying something in that letter...that he knew what he saying. If only he could spell. She said she had never seen a child his age type like that. I didn't know if I should be proud of how smart he is or sad because I know his mind is experiencing things far beyond his years. Either way, Logan was happy about his "appointment" and when she asked him to come back next week he said he wanted to go. She did tell me that I don't need to refer to Aaron being "at work" which is what we have been saying. We use the words deployment and Iraq but when you ask Logan where is daddy is he will say work. She said that by using work he would get upset when Aaron comes home and then has to go to regular work. Makes since to me. And my mom brought up another thing...I tell Logan that I am going to work. So could he be thinking that one day I will go to work and not come home for a long time? Is he scared that he is going to loose both of us. She also said that Logan could have put it together that when he and I were sick with the stomach flu that we stayed home together...I didn't go to work because he was sick. So he could be thinking that if he gets sick then I will not go to work. Of course all of this is theory and hopefully we will find out in time more of what is worrying him. Just keep him in your prayers. I just want him to be the happy worry free kiddo he deserves to be.
