My little Landon

I don't remember it ever happening with the others, but Landon seems to have grown up so much just recently. I looked at his bib earlier this week and realized that there was nothing on it!!! Amazing considering we had been eating chicken that he was dipping in ketchup. I watched him eat, and realized that he was being careful not to make a mess. Now Ashton has always been worried about messes, but my Landon was never seemed to be bothered by them. It also came to me that Landon has been much less "into stuff" than ever before. He's not climbing everything in sight and pulling shelves off of the wall. Nor is he decorating the walls with whatever writing utensil he happens to spot. And the biggest thing?? He's almost potty trained. After a day and a half with some good luck (and 1 case of poppy undies) I switched to pull ups and we have only had 1 little pee accident!!! I am so excited to see how well he is remembering to go. He will even stop playing on his own to go use the potty. I'm praying that this is really it and he doesn't regress. I don't' think he will, however. He's just been so good lately...doesn't say "no" to everything, holds my hand without a fight, and hasn't been throwing food during meals. Last night Daddy said it was almost bedtime and he went immediately upstairs. I found him reading a book in his bed. His attention span and eye hand coordination are also improving immensely. We put together a 24 piece puzzle. I did help, but Landon did a lot of it. He is such a blessing and I love seeing what a sweet boy he is becoming.
A few days ago he was throwing a train track into the basket and accidentally hit my hand. I said "ouch" and he laughed. I told him that when you hurt someone you ask if they are OK, not laugh! Now every time he hears me (or anyone else) say ouch, he asks them (with a very concerned face) if they are OK. I love it when they listen :) Thank you, God for such a sweet little blessing!
