Week/Weekend

Well, today marks day 5 of Landon's new daycare! I completely am in shock at how easy this move was for us. I hardly slept on Sunday night as I was a little worried about our decision to move him out of the center. But, nonetheless, Landon has done exceptionally well. :) Monday morning dropping him off was a complete breeze. He took his shoes off on the rug and walked down stairs all on his own, no looking back. Everyday since then, he has asked if he gets to go to his new school. Absolutely! So, I have been asking him now if he wants to go back to his old school, as we drive past it every morning, and his response was Nope! So, good choice by us and we are all that much happier.

Now, I can have a good weekend with no second guessing about the move. Luke and I are using up a gift certificate from my parents. We are staying at a bed and breakfast in Turtle Lake tomorrow night. I am not sure that I was looking forward to it, but I really think it is going to be a good time. We are going golfing before we check in, then we are going to head to the casino and hope for the big bucks, and then a nice dinner and then who knows. The B&B has things to do such as hiking trails, canoes, etc.. So, the weather is supposed to be awesome, so I think it will be fun for us.

Landon Turned 3

It is so hard for me to believe that Landon has turned three already. Where did the time go? He has become such a little man right before our eyes. I can't believe how much he has changed. He know pretty much dresses and undress himself, goes potty by himself, helps himself to the refrigerator, helps himself to the pudding pop box out of the freezer, goes outside by himself to play ball or ride bike, goes downstairs on his own, turns on and off the lights, gets in and out of the car, unbuckles himself from the car seat, talks on the phone, plays Wii, and it goes on and on.

Now the questions begin on when number two is coming along... Unfortunately there are no plans for number two anytime soon. I am still undecided on if I want number two. I always said I would have two, but I just don't know. I think I will make up my mind now that we are moving Landon, as of Monday, to a new daycare. We have made the decision to pull him out of the center he is at and have moved him to an in home place. Daisy Hill has just really fallen apart and all of Landon's "buddies" (as he calls them) have left. We are going to go to giggles-n-grins daycare where he will be able to play with Anthony Grinnell as he is one of the "buddies" he misses. It seemed to be the best decision for us as her curriculum seems better than Daisy Hill's and the payment is way less. Since the wonderful time of winter is moving in on us with Luke getting laid off, it just seemed smart to make the move now. I must say today being his last day at Daisy Hill was very emotional on me this morning. I was crying like a baby. His two teachers right now, Dana and Jodi, are absolutely the Greatest thing that has happened to Landon. They are the ones that have turned him into the little man. All the potty training credit goes to them. He would not be completely potty trained right now, if it was up to us, as we don't work as hard with him as they did. I will miss them dearly, but since he will be moving to the pre-k room with all the other 3 & 4 year olds, Dana and Jodi with still be with the 2 year olds, and that was the breaking factor in moving Landon out. I know that Anthony is more than excited to have Landon come join him, so we will see how Monday morning goes.

Here are some pictures from Landon's b-day party and a picture of his b-day cake. All he wanted was a skid steer on his cake. This was the best we could do.

The hate was made at daycare. Too darn cute!

The Skid Steer Cake!

Trying to blow out the candles, he wasn't really sure what he was supposed to do, but he figured it out.
