a boy & his pillow, our ladies man, and other random things....

So I think I am going for a record here. I am posting this and my last post was on Sun. I guess that is what staying at home with pink eye will do for ya. Anyway, we have some new pictures of pretty much nothing exciting but I figured why not post them, I know at least the family will think they are something special.

So here is our sweet but ever so moody Landon and his beloved pillow. When he was almost a year old he started ripping the entire crib sheet off. It made me so so nervous so I took the sheet cut off a square and then let him have that. He called it is la la and continued to carry it with him and suck his fingers for a little while longer.

Then we decided that he needed to stop sucking his fingers so we took the la la away and put some nasty tasting stuff on his fingers. To no avail this did not work he just attached himself to any pillow he slept on. Here we are almost a year and a half later and as you can see he still loves his pillow (although instead of using any pillow near him, he now has to have this one) and he is still sucking his fingers. We have tried finger guards and taking away the pillow. He somehow finds a way to get the finger guards off leaving a sore on his hand where he would pry it off (which makes me feel bad) and he then finds some other pillow to take along with him. I have pretty much just decided that I am now just being lazy with it, hopefully he will out grow it since I don't think they allow pillows in kindergarten.

At one point or another this school year I think Ethan had said he would marry every girl in his class. I used to think he was just saying it to tease them, but after working in his class and seeing it for myself the girls liked him as much as he liked them. The following statement from Ethan was just one of the problems he encountered in his quest of marriage

" Mom do we have a map?"

Yes

"Well I need to look at it because I told Madison the only way I could marry her is if I could find her house on the map of California."

Well good luck on that quest Ethan. At least I know it would keep him busy for longer than 5 minutes.

I only put this picture in to remind myself that every once in awhile my kids really do like each other.

Landon and Mackenzie

Well, this is how jared found landon in our bedroom one day.

I am pretty sure it would take more postage than this to mail him somewhere.
