We made a trip to Jonathan's parents this past weekend. We had a really great time swimming in their pool, getting ice cream and eating our dinners outside. Friday night the tooth fairy made her way to Nana's house so on Saturday after breakfast we made a trip to Toys R Us (a store we don't have here where I live). Landon loved looking at everything! He was so excited about the whole tooth fairy thing.
Monday morning Landon had his five year old shots (even though he isn't quite five yet). I was bracing for the worst, but I talked him through it starting Sunday evening. We talked about how brave and tough daddy is and about how it would only hurt for a moment. When the time came, he did so well. The kid did not cry even one single tear. He said ow...but that was it. The nurses couldn't believe how well he did. They said most 5 year olds scream their heads off. Whether his response was normal or not, I was so super proud of how brave he was. He told the nurses that he was brave like his daddy!
Oh yeah...thanks so much for your encouragement on my last post. I really want to be honest with you and let you in on the good and the bad. And I don't want my blog to be one of those that makes my life look completely ideal. If you hang around long enough...when I get pregnant again, there will be a whole lot of, "I want to die" and "I can't face tomorrow" and "please, someone send me a nanny or a cook or something bc my life is falling down around me bc I can't get off the couch!". You will see...just you wait 
I have a video of Landon jumping off of the diving board for the first time this weekend and a video of Noah at the beach last night. However, both are turned the wrong way and I need Jonathan to help me turn them the right way...then I can post them for you. Landon got up the nerve to jump off the diving board this weekend. He is deathly afraid of water in his face, but as long as daddy was there to "catch" him, he was fine. And Noah...I tell you what! That kid was so afraid of sand in May...now he loves it. He was also afraid of the water at the beach...now we can't keep him out of it. Last night he wanted to go deeper and deeper...he got a face full of water a few times and never seemed to mind at all. He especially loved it when the waves would hit him. So precious.
As we were driving home from the beach last night I remarked to Jonathan just how much I love our little family. I really do...I am so thankful for the children we have been given and I love our life together.
