Logan says:

After trying to put Logan's shoes on him for about 20 minutes...

Mom: Logan, get over here--pronto--so we can get your shoes on!

Logan: I'll pronto you, mom!

Mom: Clearly, you don't know what "pronto" means.

Logan: Yeah I do. "Pronto" means you're irritated.

Well, true enough, since I usually say it when I am, in fact, irritated with Logan's dilly-dallying.

This has been a nice spring break--we went to the Shedd Aquarium on Wednesday and really lucked out with parking and beating the lunch-time rush. We arrived just when they were feeding the fish in the Caribbean Reef tank, too, which was pretty awesome, as all of the fish are pretty active then. Logan loved looking at all of the fish, but none of them held his attention for a particularly long time. Instead, we looked at one tank for a few seconds, then were prodded to go see more fish. The dolphin show did hold his attention--he clapped like crazy for the dolphins' jumps and the beluga's waving. He also really liked seeing the otters and playing in their yellow submarine and penguin play area. But we were glad to demystify the sharks for him. The last exhibit we saw was the coral reef, which was a pretty impressive display of rays and sharks, and coral, of course. After having seen Finding Nemo several times, Logan had developed a mild phobia of sharks, but he's no longer afraid of them after seeing what they're really like. He thought they were cool, and when we asked him what his favorite thing of the day was, he said he liked the dolphins and the sharks.
