Our week started out pretty rough...On Sunday, Landon spent the day outside playing in the snow then went with Kurtis to the Danger walkthrough. When he got home that evening his cheeks were bright red and he just wanted to lay on the couch. Late that evening he came down with a low grade fever in the 99's. Kurtis stayed home with him on Monday and then we decided he would head to daycare Tuesday. However, in the middle of the night he woke up with a higher temp of 101 and he was talking in his sleep about the most bizarre things. Kurtis then stayed home with him Tuesday. Well...his fever still wasn't back down Wednesday around 3 in the morning and he was supposed to go to backup daycare that day; however, I decided to stay home with him one more day to hopefully beat the nasty bug.
Wednesday was his birthday and the poor kiddo laid in bed until around 1:00 that afternoon. He ate lunch in bed and even opened a couple presents in bed. Around 1:45 he finally decided to venture downstairs to play.
The only thing he ever talked about wanting for his birthday was a knight hat and a guitar. Too bad he already has two guitars so he got his knight hat!
We also got him a matching game that we enjoyed paying in bed.
Thursday he did head back to daycare. Mikki gave him a Dreamlite turtle for his birthday. He absolutely loves it!
We didn't have any big plans for his birthday. The night of his birthday we were going to go bowling as a family of four but with him being sick we decided to just stay home. Daddy went to church and we played, took baths and rented Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. My parents were going to be in town on Saturday for my brother's basketball tournament so we invited them and my brother over for lunch and cake. My grandparents were then in Hastings for my cousin's tournament so they stopped by to drop off his present and join the festivities. Of course I had to decorate a little to make it feel like a mini party; especially because we didn't really celebrate on his big day.
I used his own toys to decorate!
Hung up a Turtle banner and called it good.
He was sleeping with me Friday night so we put his birthday balloons downstairs instead of his room.
He got Jungle Book from his Aunt and Uncle,
cars from his Great Grandparents
and a Ninja Turtle trike from his Grandparents.
Landon loved his cake!
Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet and spunky little boy!
Life as a 3 year old...
Landon loves Ninja Turtles, cars and all sports.
He still has his favorite TV shows and now we are adding movies to our list.
He absolutely adores his sister and baby cousin Taylin.
Landon is a wonderful helper. He loves helping mommy with laundry, giving Avery a bath, and unloading the dishwasher.
His vocabulary is unreal. It is crazy some of the things he says and knows.
We'll make comments to him like "Your so silly" or "Your ornery" His response is "No, I'm Landon."
He is registered for preschool in the Fall.
Finally has moved away from Crocs; however, still hates jeans.
Finally doesn't mind getting his hair cut.
However, he still hates tags in his clothes.
Loves to color pictures.
Blue is his favorite color.
Would eat chicken nuggets or spaghetti every meal if we let him.
Loves chocolate milk.
Adores his puppy.
Biggest accomplishment...WE ARE POTTY TRAINED!
That was our ultimate goal before he turned three and we made it. He is still in pull ups but is dry every time!
