That Scares Me...

First of all...thank you so much...ALL of you...for encourging me and praying for me and lifting me up! I appreciate you SO much!

The test is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 7:45...so I get to sleep in 45 minutes later but I also don't get to eat anything until 10:45...ugg. Oh well...please pray that I can make it through the dumb test.  In all...I feel MUCH more optimisitic than I did originally...I just want to get it over with now!

On to better things...a few posts ago I was sharing how horrible Landon was being and how I felt like we were disciplining every other minute and I was so defeated with it all. Well, the tide has turned yet again. This week he has been an angel. Today we went to a few stores together and he was just a perfect kid. I knew this all along, but those phases that kids go through when they are so bad...make you appreciate the good times THAT much more. I know that in a few weeks (or days or hours) it will be another issue to overcome, but I am so thankful for the successes and the joys that make the journey so much more bearable. Landon is probably wondering why every other minute I am praising him for how well he is listening, obeying, talking...but I want him to know how proud I am of him and how much I appreciate his growth! EDIT: after lunch today I gave Landon about 8-10 chocolate covered raisins for a snack. He COVETS chocolate. Anyway, while he was eating them he told me he wanted to save two for me and daddy. I kind of acknowledged that would be nice and went about my tasks. I was just cleaning my counter and there lay two chocolate covered raisins that he so carefully set aside for his mommy and daddy. May his heart always be this precious!

Ok, I have a house to clean up, grad school to conquer, and laundry to fold...but before I go I just have to share what happened a few moments ago right before nap: Landon and I were cuddling on the couch, like we often do before nap time and I started singing the Bob the Builder theme song...that is his favorite show and it popped in my head. As I was singing it to him he very honestly looks at me and says, "Mommy, please stop singing...it scares me when you do that!" I started dieing laughing. I cannot sing...seriously. But now it is official...my singing scares my three year old  Have a great weekend friends!
