Landon Loves Music
A few mornings ago I was getting ready in our bathroom and Landon had been quiet for about 10 minutes (which automatically means trouble). I went through the house searching for him, and after a little while found him on the back deck. He had gotten a beach towel out, laid it on the deck, absconded his dad's i-pod (which he is not allowed to play with), figured out how to turn it on and stick the ear things in...and was laying there listening to the music. I thought it was so cute, I could not help but let him listen for a little bit longer!
He really is quite the music lover! When he was about 18 months old he started singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. We thought that was great...now he can sing with just about any song that comes on (ours or his) and randomly breaks out in his own songs (usually Deep and Wide or Zaccheus was a Wee Little Man) quite often. He certainly does not get this musical talent from me. I am as far as one can get from having any musical ability. My husband on the other hand is quite musical and finds great satisfaction in the fact that it appears Landon will follow in his footsteps...at least in this area. 
Yesterday we were driving home and Jon asked Landon where Jesus lived. Landon replied, "Up high , in the sky...in the sun!" He was so sure and so excited! I have no idea how he got this idea. We have talked to him a little bit about Heaven, but not really alluded to where it was or where Jesus lived. I have talked to him about Jesus living in our hearts...but somehow the idea of Jesus living in the sun got into his little brain. I thought it was somewhat allegorical though and led to a great opportunity to talk to him about all of those things...none of which he seems to really understand quite yet.
Potty training is taking a BIG turn UP! Ever since I left for Ohio he has been going potty by himself with no prompting...he will just disappear and be on the potty. He has even pooped a few times! I am really excited and hoping that this is it...I would love for it to be totally done before we get pregnant again!
Swim lessons went great today! I talked to him before class about following the teachers schedule and listening to her instructions and he did a lot better! I admit, I did bribe him a little with Nemo snacks...but hey, it was a great swim class....he even went UNDER!!! Unfortunately, he was not too fond of the experience, so I think that going under will not be a regular occurrence for quite some time.
Well...he is still in his bed talking to his monkey and duck...and it is way past when he should be asleep...so I had better get off of here and tell him it is time to put his animals to bed. Have a great day everyone!
