Writing His Name

Today when we picked Landon up from pre-school his teacher excitedly reported that Landon had written his name very well without any coaching. He went on to cover a bit of it up with red as he continued to draw, but here is that picture Landon drew this afternoon. Click the image to see the full sized version including what Landon asked his teacher to write at the top.

Baby Tiger Rides a Big Boy Bike

For the past week or so, Landon gets upset if you call him Landon. He insists on being called “Baby Tiger.” He has been drawing tiger stripes on himself at school and today he drew them at home as well. Also shown in this video is Landon’s new big boy bike with training wheels. He’s getting pretty good at riding it.

Landon the Actor

The past few days Landon likes to play a game where he hits himself in the head and pretends to knock himself out. We didn’t get the best example of this on camera but it’s something. Also shown here: Landon and Kellan having trouble getting along – not wanting to share the same chair.

County Fair and Chuck E Cheese

Landon has recently discovered Chuck E Cheese’s. It’s his new favorite place. There is a little bit of video of that at the end, but most of this is from the County Fair where Landon rode his first real horse and watched a pig race.

Stop Saying That

Landon has developed a bad habit lately. When he gets grumpy he insists that we “stop saying that” no matter what it is we’re saying. Although we don’t enjoy it, we felt it was important to capture this stage on video, so here it is, along with some other footage of Landon and his brother this week.

Grandpa Comes to Visit

Here is some video from when Grandpa was in town last week of Landon hanging out with Grandpa and his Uncle Kevin. Not captured on video is Landon’s favorite answer to every question lately. “Landon, why did you make such a big mess?” His reply? “Because Thomas is a busy engine.”
