Don't say it! I know what you're all thinking..."Finally- a new blog post." Well in my defense I've been busy. Super busy. So busy I won't even begin to list everything that has left me exhausted and scatterbrained these days. But here we go...a new post...finally.
It's been a while since I've full-on wrote about my first sweet love, Landen. Landen is almost 4!! Yes 4 on Sept. 2! I can't believe it either. We are in full swing of planning his birthday party which will be dinosaur themed per his request. (Note that dinosaur decor is not as easy to find as you'd think...unless you want ferocious looking dinosaur stuff which we do not.) Almost 4 year old Landen is all about dinosaurs, pirates, cars, airplanes, Happy Meals, playing outside, dancing (he is king of new moves), playing all kinds of sports (some that he makes up like hockey ball, and racket ball that isn't anything like real racket ball), watching out for his little sister, Spongebob, telling jokes, list goes on and on. He is still a major love bug. Always randomly showing us love, or telling us how much he loves us. I can always count on him for a cuddle. Landen talks all day long! A big stretch from when he turned 2 and barely talked at all (much like Lana now). Sometimes it's tough to get him to be quiet. He still has a bit of shyness in him but for the most part those days are behind us.
Seriously...how cute is this face?!
We are anxiously awaiting the start of preschool in September. Which brings me to his best friend. Landen has grown very fond of another little boy in our play group that will be going to preschool with him. He wakes up on Wednesday asking to go to story time at the library because we know Trevor will be there too. The boys get along so well and play great together. He asks daily to see his best friend. So very cute. Trevor has a little sister that is Lana's age so he plays that card too..."Can we play with Trevor today? My sister wants to play with his sister too." Gotta love the double team there. I'm glad Landen will have someone to hold his hand that first scary day of preschool. And I'm glad to have Trevor's mommy there to cry with me as we say goodbye to our big boys on that day too.
Here is Landen, Trevor, and another buddy from our play group waiting for story-time to begin.
I really can not believe we are on the brink of being 4! I love watching him grow and learn and discover new things. He forces me to stop and slow down and appreciate life as it comes. Love you Landen and I look forward to everyday I get to spend with you!
