Edit: You know that commercial for that cellulite cream....the one where the little boy is driving his car up and down his mom's legs while she is laying on the cough and when he gets to her thighs he starts making the car bump up and down over her celullite (never mind the fact that her legs look better than mine ever will). Anyway, Landon is driving everything on our bodies...choo choo's, buses, cars, etc... It always makes me think of that commercial bc if he ever bumps over my cellulite, I think I will die.  Edit 2: It is so hot out that walking from the grocery store to my car, seriously makde me sweat (and I am not a natural sweater ). I tried weeding htis morning while Landon played, but it only lasted about twenty minutes. It s really one of those days that old people would say, "You could fry an egg on the sidewalk." But man, do I love summer. Edit 3: I was just thinking earlier how I cannot remember the last time I rocked my son. After several coughing fits this afternoon during nap, I pulled the rocker into his room and rocked him for almost 2 hours. This has to be the only good thing so far about this dreaded illness. Well...we had another visit to Prime Care this weekend. Landon's cold that was getting better...got worse. I was convinced he had a sinus infection, but was going to wait until today to go see his regular doctor. However, after having him cough until he threw up TWICE in his nap yesterday, we spent the extra money and took him...and left with a beautiful antibiotic. He has an ear infection and another secondary bacterial infection. I didn't think kids were supposed to get sick like this in the summer. Thursday we had my grandparents, mom and sister up and we had a beautiful lunch at an outdoor deli and then I took them to a park that has benches and flowers and fountains (stuff they love...which they did). It was such a wonderful day. That night my mom and Brenn and I went shopping for Brenn's first year of college. That too was a blast. Friday my sister watched Landon all day for me while I went to Birch Run with my neighbor that has the tiny baby girl. We went to a huge outlet mall that happens to have a Pottery Barn outlet. All I bought was a shelf for Landon's room and a tank top for Landon from Gymboree. Nothing too exciting...but the day away did wonders for my spirit. But when I got home that night I noticed Landon's nose running again and by Saturday he was quite sick...again. Perhaps the Lord knew I needed that outing before entering this sick stage yet again. Will it ever end?!?!?! Why are kids sick so much...or my kid at least!!! Good grief.  Soon after Jonathan and I got married, my husband saw a gorgeous desk at Restoration Hardware that he desperately wanted. We clearly could not afford it, so he decided that he would build it. It has taken almost four years (we do not have wood tools, so he has used his dad's, my dad's, etc...) and it is almost done. Actually it was done last summer, but when he put the protective coat on, he hated it. After all of that time and effort, he could not bare to not love his desk, so he is stripping it and re-finishing it. Landon loves to help. This picture was actually taken last summer in our duplex, but the same is happening again now. He has always loved being a helper. I just cannot wait to have this piece of furniture done and in my house. I am still in amazement that just by looking at a piece of furniture, Jonathan could take some boards of wood and turn it into a piece of art. Incredible. Sometime in the past few months Landon has become obsessed with showers. He rarely wants to take a bath anymore (something he used to absolutely love), and always wants to take a shower. It is faster for us, which is nice, but it is kind of sad that baths are becoming a thing of the past. Who knows, maybe he will cycle around and go for baths again, but for now...he loves his showers. Last night after he was washed I let him play in there for a little while as I was getting his pj's and towel. As I walked by the bathroom I heard his little voice singing "I love to sing...sing in the shower...la la la la" and "Hello rain, it is good to see you again (a song from a new Christian kids series called Boz)". He was singing in the shower...and it was adorable.Well, I have a child begging me to go outside with him, and to be done with the computer...and I am beginning to feel a bit guilty for being on here so long. So, adios...have a most wonderful day! | |
