FREEDOM!

Well, today was Landon's first field trip with his aunt and uncle. I got him up early this morning and kept telling him he was going to go bye-bye with his aunt and uncle. I was worried how he'd react, but he got into their car and smiled and was happy to go! They took him to a natural science center and he LOVED it. They spoiled him rotten and when he came home, he didn't even care to give me a hug. He didn't miss me or home at all! Let's just say that Landon is not going to be a homebody. It's time for another baby who just wants mama!!!
By the way, I thought well, if my friend, Brittany, can take her son to see Horton Hears a Who, I can take my son. We planned the movie around nap time so that Landon would watch some of the movie and fall asleep. ha ha ha yeah right. He did okay, but about half-way through, after he was full of popcorn and juice, he wanted to visit the neighbors. Landon wants to do the entertaining. So, I had to take him out and he ended up falling asleep out of exhaustion the last 5 minutes of the movie. So, Landon is not going to be a movie goer for a little while longer!

YUMMY!!!

Lately, Landon has been our little garbage disposal. He eats everything, all day long. Especially if it's sweet! He's one of those kids that wanted to taste everything as a crawling baby and now, well, he still wants to taste everything. Here is how our week has been...First, crayons; Landon has started to like coloring, but it only lasts a minute until he starts to bite off the tips to all the crayons. I tell him "that's yucky" and make an "eww" face. Now, whenever he sees crayons or pictures of crayons, he makes that face, but still eats the crayons. NEXT, bathwater; Landon simply cannot resist tasting his bathwater, and of course it's after I've cleaned him and the water is all soapy and who knows if he's pee'd in it yet. I do all I can to stop him, and I still catch him slurping and saying "mmmmmm!!!" with a huge smile. That boy!! Sometimes I can't help but crack up. So finally, (it gets worse), yesterday, he ate a bug. Who knows what kind, but I saw him pick up something black off the ground and he quickly put it in his mouth. I tried my darndest to get it out, but those jaws are like the jaws of...a crockodile. After some force, I got out some of it, but he got some added protein that day. So anywho, my son loves to eat. He's grown a ton lately and I'm glad about that, but maybe from now on I'll try reverse psychology on him. By the way, he drank half that milkshake without taking his eyes or mouth off the straw!
