A Few More Random Things
Yesterday morning Landon informed me that I cannot give him ultimatums. Ulti...what?!?! Ultimatums. Now, tell me how to explain to him that it is ok for me to tell him that, but not vice-versa.
When I was a kid I collected Berenstein Bear books. I had my dad read me one every night for years. Last night I got my collection out and gave them to Landon. There are probably a good 50 books, and I could tell how loved they were. Many of them have the covers coming off or pages falling out. Just looking at them I could hear my dad's voice reading them to me on my bed or on the couch...and I could remember the excitement of picking one out every night. 
This morning when I woke up Landon had gotten them off of his bookshelf and had them scattered all over the floor and was intently looking at them. He is really excited about them and I can tell he finally can follow a story of that length. It brings me a lot of pleasure to see him enjoying something that I loved so much as a child.

We put Noah in the exersaucer last night. I was avoiding it becuase when we put Landon in there he suddenly started advancing by leaps and bounds. But Noah is to that stage...he doesn't want to just lay there anymore. He wants to sit up and see what is going on and play. I can't hold him back, I know that. I just love him how he is so much right now, and I know that in just a matter of months he will be on the move. I want to bottle him up just as he is. I know that with age his personality will develop more and that will be fun, but with movement comes independence and more of a demonstration of will and defiance...and all of the stuff I don't want to deal with. Right now he is just my perfect little Noah 
Anyway, he loved the exersaucer. In fact, he played with the toys more than I even knew he was capable of. I thought he would need propped up in there with a blanket, but nope...he was strong enough to hold his back and head up the entire time. The little guy is just ready to start turning into a boy...and I know I have to let him.
