Today's Landon's big day. When I told him it was his birthday today he asked me to repeat what I had said...twice. Then he told me that I was "making it up". LOL. Nope buddy, it really is your birthday! We started out the day with a special breakfast of toast w/honey. This is a big treat for a household that eats oatmeal every.single.day. You should have seen his face and the big "thank you" I got from him. Then we went to swimming lessons. Yesterday was the first day and Ashton did great. Landon cried and got out and wouldn't go back in. So today we tried again and although he got scared when they "made rain" during the if you're happy and you know it song, he stayed in the water and did fine. He really enjoyed it by the end and I know he is very excited to go back tomorrow. Ashton held his hand when they got in the pool today and when the moved to a different section in the pool. Landon had told me he was afraid of falling down under the water :(. So with his big brother helping out he didn't have to be so afraid and we also talked about how God tells us not to be afraid for he is with us.
We have plans to go to a Chinese buffet for dinner (landon's choice) and then have cake. I should really get to making said cake! I also need to wrap his presents. We don't do too much for birthdays. We spent less than $20 on each child this year. It's hard though...I would love to go all out and buy tons of new toys, but they get super excited about what they get and are very thankful. I don't need to buy their happiness. This year we have play doh and a wack-a-mole board game I found at Marshalls. Daddy is going to hit walmart on his way home to get something, too.
Will post pics soon!
