Sweet Memories

We are staying home today as Landon has a stomach virus...poor guy. This is the second stomach virus that he has ever had and they both have been within the last 6 months. Hopefully he will be able to keep some food down today.

Every few months I like to do a post on some sweet things that he says because I know my memory will fail me otherwise. I wish I could bottle up all of his sweetness and carry it with everywhere I go because he sure knows how to turn a not so great day into a fabulous one.

• He was sick in the middle of the night last night so I was changing his sheets and tucking him back in bed and before I left his room he said, "Mommy, just put some apple juice on the counter for me and I will drink it when my tummy feels better." Sweet boy.


• One night this week we were a bit off our regular schedule and his bedtime routine didn't happen as it was late. So I quickly tucked him in bed with a quick hug and kiss and we missed our bedtime stories, talk, and prayers. As I was closing his door he said, "Mommy, you "tergot" (aka-forgot) to tell me Jesus loves me." Such a sweet moment for Landon to remind me that no matter how rushed our lives get we can't forget HIM.


• Landon is my little 'right hand man', he lets me know when I forget to do something or if I'm doing something the wrong way. One night I forgot to bring his jammies into the bathroom after his bath and he said, "Mommy, we are so silly! So so silly!" I just love the way he says that! His little voice is so precise and sweet.


• Sometimes when I pick Landon up from Ms. LaShawn's house he gives me a big hug and says, "I missed you so much!" This makes my heart melt because a few times recently when I have picked him up he tells me to go back to work so that he can stay at Ms. LaShawn's house.


• Landon has shown an interest in the show Dancing With The Stars and when it comes on he wants me to dance with him, so we dance!! We have no rhythm & no moves--mostly just random jumps, turns, and shakes, but we always laugh and have so much when we do it. When the dance is over he raises his arms and says, "We are SUPER STARS!"
