Highlights from last month (Pt 2)

  Landon graduated from preschool!  It has been great year for him. I couldn't have picked a better place. The school is awesome and his teachers were amazing. Of course all of this came with a hefty price tag. But we fit it in the budget because I really felt like it was a great way for him to adjust before he went to Kindergarten. In the beginning of the school year he found it hard to make friends because of his shy personality but by Christmas time he really started to open up and developed some good friendships. It's so nice to see your child thrive and do well. Along with going to preschool I do a little bit of homeschooling with him. So far I have taught him how to hold a pencil and write his name along with every letter in the alphabet. He is now even sounding out words so hopefully reading won't be to far off. He has a enthusiasm for learning and it's so exciting for me to watch my little boy learn something new. 

It's the end of soccer season. They only had a couple of wins but it didn't matter to Landon because he wasn't keeping score. Playing sports at this age really isn't to competitive, for the kids at least. They like to chat on the field or pick some flowers while the game is going on. Or if your Landon you like to pull up your shirt to show all of your team mates the mole on your chest. All I could do was laugh and wish I had gotten that on camera. Well as the season drew to a close he started to tell me that he liked baseball much better than soccer and didn't want to play anymore. Even though it would have been so nice not to wake up extra early on those Saturday mornings for game time I thought he should finish what he started. He thought it would be a good idea to let his coach know that he doesn't like soccer and wish he played baseball. It was a little embarrassing but can't blame him for being honest. In the end he was proud of himself and really loved getting that trophy!



Highlights from last month (Pt 1)

My little Leprechaun. Oh Liam why must you climb on my pantry shelves to get the food coloring while I am in the bathroom 5 mins before we are supposed to leave?

I love you my sweet baby but you never give your mama a break. It's a good thing Landon is a great taddle tale. He yelled up the stairs "MOM, Liam is green!" "What!?" I yell back,
"No mom, really, really green!" I fly down the flight of stairs to find Liam happily sucking on a container of food coloring. He decided he wanted to be artistic and make some murals on the walls too. Then he wanted to show Lola some love and her fur was dyed green for two weeks! That stuff does not come off easily. So, I picked him up and took off his clothes which I then threw away and put him in the bath. It didn't help that he had diarrhea in his diaper too. Ugh! What a mess. After a week it finally came out of his skin, each day getting lighter and lighter. I was so frustrated that morning but every time he would flash me a smile I couldn't help but laugh at those mint green teeth!
