Last week David and I went to look at a potential school for Landon for next fall. He has been with the same in home sitter since he was 9 weeks old, and we will soon be making the transition to "big school". His current babysitter is absolutely wonderful and we have been incredibly blessed to have her. She will no longer be able to babysit after the school year because she got accepted into nursing school. We are very happy for her, but will miss her. Landon really enjoys it there and is always happy when I pick him up.
David and I were very impressed with the school and decided it is where we want Landon to be next fall. It is clean, safe, Christian based, small classes, and very close to our house. When you walk into the school there is a huge mural of Jesus with little children sitting in his lap, it is so sweet. Just down the hall is where Landon's class will be. It is so strange saying that Landon will have a classroom, I didn't think I would say that until he was in kindergarten. There will be 4 kids total in Landon's class. They play games, read books, go to gym class and study a letter a week! That is so crazy to me, as just a few short years ago we taught a letter a week in kindergarten. I think Landon will be ready for all the socialization that he will get, and I can't wait to see what new things he learns!!
Today I took Landon with me to turn in his registration paperwork, and the director invited us to look at Landon's classroom. The directors daughter is also in this class, her name is Presley, and she is this chubby little girl with
blonde curls--she is super cute! Landon walked right in and was very interested in the big colorful rug where I am assuming they have "carpet time". His soon to be classmates were walking around playing and seemed totally oblivious to Landon being there.
I visited for a bit with the teacher and the director while the kiddos played and Landon looked around. As we were visiting, a little boy picked up my purse, put it on his shoulder and walked off with it. The director said, "Oh look, he has Landon's moms purse!! That is so cute!!". I knew that I would lose my first name sometime during motherhood, but had no idea it would be so soon--again I thought it would happen when Landon got to kindergarten. Oh well, I don't remember the directors name either, I just know her as 'Presley's mom'.
I don't like to post without putting a pic of the little guy, so here you go...
Dad held the basket and Landon would go get eggs and put them in.
When the hunt was over, Landon sat down and took all of his eggs out of his basket one at a time, then put them all back in. He liked this game, mom and dad did too, as it kept little man busy.
My two favorite boys.
In the picture above, Landon was trying to put a sticker on his egg, but the sticker kept sticking to his finger. So, he got fed up with the sticker, and before I could stop him he ate the sticker. I tried to fish it out of his mouth to no avail. Oh well, maybe he needed a few extra nutrients. :)
Such a handsome little blessing he is. 
Landon and Grandpa
"Alright, that's it, I'm calling grandma."
Watchin' Elmo, his favorite part is when Elmo talks to babies.
The next few nights after his bath, Landon continued to want a towel on his head. Angry, upset Landon would come out if I tried to take it off. So, rather than have him run through the house naked, we came up with a compromise...
I just love him!!
