Ravin' Logan

Bouncing Boy

The local mall has a bungee trampoline for shoppers who want to jump around between visits to Wetzel's Pretzels and the Sunglass Hut. Logan is a big fan (of the trampoline, that is, and Wetzel's Pretzels but Sunglass Hut not so much). Here's a video of him catching some air...

Logan Sings "Domino"

Logan performs "Domino" by Jessie J on the ukelele. The only lyric he sings is "Knock me down like a domino" and then... wait for it.

Logan on YouTube

Logan now has his very own YouTube Channel!

Watch it for videos of the Little Gentleman, including this new classic:

Little Drummer Boy

Logan still loves playing Rock Band, and here are some pics of the little drummer boy pa-rum-pa-pum-pumming a few months ago.


For some reason, I introduced him to one of the worst songs ever made*, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." Whenever I'd sing the chorus to him, he'd respond demurely, "Yes, we did." I'm glad to see him take ownership where the bug-eyed Piano Man can't. Anyway, Steve downloaded the song for Rock Band, and Logan has since learned to sing the chorus. Well, sort of:

* I firmly stand by my decision that Aerosmith's "Rag Doll" is hands-down the worst song ever made. "Kokomo" is a close second. Billy Joel is just an asshat.

What Time Is It?

What time is it? If you're cool and in the know, your answer would've been "Adventure Time!" but I guess "Christmastime" also would've been correct. "Halloween" probably isn't even close to being the right answer, but I'm two months late with posting Logan's trick-or-treating pics so get off my back and I'll post 'em now. Sheez, relax already. And there's always The Nightmare before Christmas that mixes both Halloween and Christmas, so these pics are still timely if you consider that. What time is it? Adventure Time-Christmastime-Halloween Time! Take that. In Your Face Time.

Here's Logan's Halloween costume. He wanted to dress up as Finn from Adventure Time:

Logan visited his first pumpkin patch, where he learned that gourds make great drums.












Logan debuted his Finn costume at his daycare, where he played games and took part in their pagan rituals. They make 'em grow up fast in daycare.







Logan's daycare had games for the kids to play, including fishing through gummy worms until all the candy tasted like hands.

The Halloween parade at Logan's daycare

Logan went trick-or-treating at the Disney offices in North Hollywood. Jenni dressed up as Adventure Time's Fiona.

This is what happens when you leave Logan alone in the office with toilet paper. This was good practice for later on in the night.

Logan vs. the Halloween cupcake in Little Tokyo

Team Logan all the way.

We took Logan trick-or-treating in Toluca Lake, which is where a lot of young Hollywood and all the Disney Channel stars live. This is apparently where everyone flocks to for Halloween, including high schoolers who want candy and single strippers taking their kids out (as a reflex, I wanted to hand out singles instead of candy). It was crazy -- every house had a line of 5 - 20 people waiting for candy, the streets were jammed with people and cars and one house had a live DJ.

Until next Christmas, have a happy Halloween!

Road Rage

Logan seems to have picked up some of my road rage, and these videos show he likes to express his anger with generous use of the word "bitch." According to our cuss word forensics unit, he likely picked up that phrase from Jenni. (I'm more partial to using terms like "fucking whore," but enough about my love life.)


I'm pretty sure that CSI: Profanity would conclude that he picked up using the word "bitch" from Jenni.

In fact, when it comes to vulgarities like this, I'd definitely... [removes sunglasses] swear that it's true. YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!

EXHIBIT A: This video is Logan yelling at cars during our gridlocked commute to the Disneyland Holiday Party last Monday. The best part is him grumbling "bitches" under his breath at the end of the clip.

EXHIBIT B: So after I played back the video of Exhibit A to Logan, we did a Take 2. He was more self-conscious in this take and was definitely trying to entertain. One of my favorite parts of his improv is when he's at a loss for words and resorts to the catch-all phrase, "junk."

When he urges the cars not to spray their lights on us, he really means "shine" instead of "spray." He's referring to all the brake lights glaring in front of us. This leads to his best performance in the clip: his final line in the video delivered with sass and aplomb, "Spray your lights on yourself!" Someone get this kid an agent!

By the way, if you ever ride with Logan, he's become somewhat of a human GPS. He'll always ask what street you're on and what street you're crossing. Of course, if you tell him, he'll oftentimes insist you're wrong and that it's another street (or a "Bird," which he thinks is what "Blvd" says). Then, he'll go through the whole process again, but will ask in the voice of his blanket, Baby, or a stuffed animal. "That's not me asking. That's Simba. 'What street are we on???'" Zip it, Simba.

Galerie de Logan

Sometimes, a photo of Logan transcends all that is cute and precious to become a modern-art absurdist commentary of a child (as object) juxtaposed against the backdrop of a brutalist adult world, in a sense reversing the perspective to almost anti-art Dadaist results.

Or, in the words of Logan himself, "What the heck?!?" Um, yeah. Here's a gallery of some artsy-fartsy pics of Logan, yo.

This is a video Logan shot of himself:
