On staying at home {at least for a little while}
*Check out my update here* Today is a strange day for me. My facebook news feed is full of updates on all my former colleague’s first day’s back at school. I’m closely watching the updates from the Kindergarten class and the wonderful teacher that took my place when I left to stay home with the…

First Visit to the Dentist
Today was Landon’s first visit to the dentist! He did such a great job. We talked about it for a few weeks and he was really excited to go, but I could tell when they called us back that he was not too sure about what was going to happen. They put him in the…

Everyday Life – Mom’s Group and Fountains
A few weeks back I joined a mom’s group in Chico called the Chico Mother’s Club. I love being able to connect with other adults in the same life phase as me. It’s also great to be able to have playdates with other kids Landon’s age without playing the “lottery” of who will be at…

Things Kids Say
Snuggling with Landon tonight before he went to sleep I gave him a kiss and said, “I love you, I’m so glad you’re my son” Landon looked up at me and in a sweet but serious voice said, “I’m not your son. I’m Landon.” “Ok” I said, “I”m glad you’re my Landon”. He nodded with…

Things Kids Say
This morning, Landon crawled in bed with us and snuggled in between Brad and I. He does this every morning. Today he snuggles in closer to Brad, looks up at him and says in a very matter of fact voice, “Don’t do anything. Don’t tickle me, don’t poke me, don’t bother me.” I was dying…

Fear of water
Fear of water is a funny thing. We went to Shawn and Lacey’s apartment tonight to go swimming in their pool. This is the first time this summer that Landon’s been at a pool. We’ve gone to the creek a few times to dip our toes in and throw rocks, but no swimming. Last summer…

Snickerdoodles and life lessons
More cooking adventures today. Landon’s allergies make baking more challenging, but over the last two years making some gluten free, dairy free, egg free snickerdoodles doesn’t scare me. There are so many wonderful food blogs out there now dedicated to gluten free cooking. There are many wonderful ones also dedicated to vegan cooking (takes out…

Landon’s Room
When Landon moved into his big boy room I had a great time doing a custom hand painting of his room to be the “vroom vroom” room. He loved it, I loved it and honestly it is the hardest thing I am having to get over leaving when we move. I know that I can…

Everyday Life – “That” kid
We’ve all done it before we’ve had a kid of our own and vowed we would never have “that” kid. You know, the one that is screaming at the top of his lungs in the middle of a nice a quiet store, kicking and screaming and flailing his arms. Did I mention screaming? Yeah – that…

Everyday Life – Pick your battles
Everything is a big deal to a two year old. Landon is really in full swing of asserting his independence. It is a good thing, really and I do want to encourage it. However the assertion of his independence also means things usually happening not the way or in the time frame I would like.…
