Lacing with a colander
Landon has been on a lacing kick lately since I pulled out my alphabet lacing for him. As I was making dinner and draining the pasta, I had an idea. I pulled out the other colander I have and the laces from the alphabet set and let him go to town. I’m sure you could…

Rough days
Preface: When looking for an image to go with this post, since obviously I was not in the “lets take a picture of my screaming child for my blog” mood I came across this website… weird but funny and bound to make you feel better if you’re having a bad day too, at least for…

Footprints
We came to the park in the early morning, before anyone else arrived. They had just cleaned the sand box and the only imprints in the smooth surface was Landon’s tiny footprints. Well, maybe not tiny… I don’t know what about it just made me feel all mushy.

Swimming lessons
You might remember how Landon was afraid of the water? It wasn’t until about 2 months ago that we actually got him to get into the water. Before that he was just too afraid. We also now have a gym membership so we are able to go swim in their heated pools really regularly. We…
