It's not fair is a common phrase heard around here lately. Landon turned 6 and now all of a sudden he thinks he's grown and knows what's best for him. His neighborhood friends are able to walk all over the neighborhood with no supervision. Landon is not allowed to do so. He has to stay in the front yard at all times. Six years old is far too young to be running all around the neighborhood unsupervised. When Landon's friends leave our front yard to go play elsewhere Landon refuses to come in. Instead he'll come tell me "it's not fair" and then walk down to the bottom of the driveway, sit down, and pout. I hate to break it to you Landon, but you're going to utter that phrase countless times throughout your life. You won't be getting a smart phone while in elementary school. Heck, you won't even be getting one in high school. We'll hear "it's not fair" from you when we deny you a new car when you turn 16. We'll hear it time and time again from you over the next 12 years and it won't phase Mommy and Daddy one bit. It just reiterates that we're doing our job well. We love you Landon and that's why we're perfectly ok with hearing you say "it's not fair." </div>

Where did the time go?! Landon enjoyed a fun filled birthday as well as a great party. Jingles (our Christmas elf) came back for one day to help Landon celebrate his birthday. Landon awoke to Jingles in his balloon filled room. We filled his room with 150 plus balloons for him to have a surprise on his birthday morning. To say it was a hit would be an understatement. We set the alarm for half an hour early so we could wake Landon and record his reaction. However, Landon beat our alarm and we awoke to him shrieking, "You guys are the best parents EVER!"<br />

After school we took Landon out to eat at one of his favorite bbq restaurants and then we ran off to soccer practice. We had a small family party for him at the house after practice where he enjoyed a Raphael cake and present opening.<br />

Landon had another successful birthday party this year. His current obsession is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so a ninja turtle party is what he got. We spent many long nights the week prior party prepping, but it was all worth it in the end. We even made nunchucks for all of the kids so every child was able to be transformed into a ninja turtle. </div>

Happy 6th Birthday Landon Love! Mommy and Daddy love you so much! We are so proud of the boy that you are becoming. You are thoughtful, kind, gracious, loving and full of such life and joy. We couldn't imagine our lives with you. You have made our last 6 years so much more enjoyable. We love you like pigs love pies! </div>

I swore off having another dog in the home. I told myself that I couldn't put Landon through another heartbreak, but in reality I was the one that didn't want to get attached to another dog only to eventually lose it. Landon has been asking for a dog for quite some time now. Kevin and I have been talking about getting him a dog, but always had a reason as to why it wasn't the right time. I came across a dog on an adoptable pet website and the next morning we called the shelter to see if he was still available. To our surprise he was and we made the drive to go get him. </div>

He's a two year old, four legged terrier mix terror. He has endless energy and escapes from every fence and open door he comes across. He's non stop and definitely nothing like our Tinkerbell was. We're not used to having such a misbehaved dog. He's a lot of work, but is growing on us. He's playful and much larger than Tinkerbell (which were the two requirements I had for Landon's new dog). Petey is a very friendly dog, but has a nipping and scratching problem when he's playing. It makes playing with him very difficult and Landon is scared of him at times due to that. Hopefully with some much needed training and love he'll become a great family dog. </div>

We added a new member to our family throughout the month of December, Jingles the Elf. Jingles arrived at the beginning of December and stayed with us until Christmas Eve. Every night he reported back to Santa as to whether Landon was good or bad. When Jingles came back he always got himself into trouble. Here are a few highlights of his antics:<br />

Jingles left Landon a goodbye letter upon his departure. This hit Landon hard. We were not expecting his reaction. He actually cried about losing his "friend". Ever since we lost our Tinkerbell, Landon has not handled goodbyes very well and for some reason this fact did not register with us when we decided to bring Jingles into our home. I quickly decided to make a photo album of Jingles for Landon and surprised him with it on Christmas morning. We told him that Jingles left it for him and included all of the photos from Jingles' nightly adventures. </div>

The photo album helped a lot, but Landon still keeps the goodbye letter on his dresser and still talks about Jingles. I'm starting to think that losing Tinkerbell is not something he will ever get over and this scar will forever be with him. Jingles may just have to be a permanent elf on our shelf next year. </div>

It's been so hard to find a moment of free time, let alone blogging time. My hours at work are always changing and my days off are filled with running errands and catching up with household chores. This blog was started as a way for me to document our lives and used as a time capsule of sorts for Landon. I'm hoping to get back to that. I'm still working on this whole working mom balancing act. Landon has adjusted well to me working full time. The last few weeks have been rough on him, which breaks my heart to hear about, but luckily Kevin is home with him for the time being. I've been working for several months now so I'm not sure why Landon is missing me so badly these last couple of weeks. I've been missing him these past few weeks more than usual too so maybe he's just feeding off of my emotions. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Landon received his second report card of the year today. He received all E's once again. Landon is doing phenomenally well in school. He's outgoing and performing at the top of his class. Landon can pick up most books and read them with very little to no help. He's been reading for about a year now, but his speed and comprehension has improved and continually surprises us. Soccer season is getting ready to start up. Landon is so excited to play this season. He hasn't played in almost a year due to his broken arm and the surgeries that were needed to repair it. We can't wait to see him running down the field again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Landon is really into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Most days he can be found dressed as one of the Ninja Turtles. He received the turtle lair for Christmas and can spend hours a day playing with it. It came as no surprise when he told us that he wants a Ninja Turtle birthday party. He's still into Batman and the other super heroes, but the Ninja Turtles are definitely the front runners these days. </div>

Landon decided to be a vampire this year for Halloween. He originally wanted to be Michaelangelo, but he thought the mask looked fake. When he saw the vampire costume he liked the dressy, ruffled shirt. So a vampire he was. He made one cute vampire. </div>

Our neighbor/friend was deployed to Afghanistan. Landon looks up to him and now wants to be an "army guy" just like Mr. Jason. </div>

I think Landon's favorite day of the school year so far was "Crazy Hair Day". He still asks us to dye his hair green. He sported a green mohawk that day. I must admit, he was rather cute with it! </div>

I'm excited to see how much he'll learn and grow over this school year. My baby boy is growing up. I'm not at all happy about it, but I love seeing the boy that he's becoming. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of you Landon Love. Keep up the good work! </div>

I had these grand plans of writing several in detail catch up posts. That clearly isn't happening any time soon. Until then, I'll just catch everyone up on what's been going on around here as of lately. Landon graduated pre-school and will be starting kindergarten in about a week. Where has the time gone?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first weekend of summer (two days after school ended) Kevin and I took Landon to Hannah Park for what was supposed to be the start of an amazing, fun-filled summer. We started the morning off with several relaxing hours at the beach. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then moved on to the park for Landon to have some more fun. Our Sunday Funday turned into an emergency trip to the hospital and Landon coming home with his first broken bone. He broke both bones in his arm right at his wrist. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So far he's had two surgeries on it to try to repair the damage. The second surgery was just last week. He's also on cast number 5 with probably two more to go. His summer is not only shot, but because of the amount of damage done to his arm he'll be starting kindergarten with a cast on his arm. He also has to miss out on the current soccer season as well. Kevin and I are trying our best to keep him from using his arm. Cast or no cast, Landon is still Landon. He's still doing his crazy, dare devil stunts. He is still managing to make the most of his summer and has been rather easy going with all of the doctor appointments and limitations with his arm so far. </div>

We're hopeful that this was the last surgery. We have a post-op appointment coming up and we'll know more then. <span style="text-align: center;">In the midst of all of the hospital visits, Landon had another milestone occur. He lost his very first tooth! A second tooth is now loose so it too should fall out shortly. He's growing up too fast! </span></div>

Wow! Almost 6 months since my last post. It's been a crazy 6 months, that's for sure. So much has happened. There's no way I can catch up on every last detail, but I'll start with February and March. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
February brought Valentine's Day and Landon's first school dance. Kevin and I were a bit hesitant about the whole thing. We didn't like the idea of the teachers calling it a dance. The whole thing made me slightly uncomfortable. I mean they are four, not fourteen. In the end, it was cute and harmless. Landon had a lot of fun picking out his outfit and he looked so incredibly handsome in it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To celebrate Valentine's Day itself, I invited a friend and her son (Landon's best friend) over for a little party. We made pizza with heart shaped pepperoni and a heart shaped cake. The boys had so much fun. </div>

Landon's class had a teddy bear that each student was able to take home for one weekend over the school year. The end of February was Landon's turn. We took Teddy to Monster Jam, Superhero night at Chick-fil-a and the beach. Teddy was one well traveled bear that weekend. </div>

I didn't take many pictures because I had to use my camera as a video recorder. I couldn't find any tapes for my actual camcorder at the stores. Who would have thought that all of the stores would have been sold out on Christmas Eve?! I'll make sure not to wait until the last minute for one next time. I don't regret recording it off of my camera one bit. It did mean that I had to relinquish the picture taking control and depend on my sister's pictures, but it was completely worth it once I watched the recording Christmas night and was able to see an hour worth of excitement and laughter all over again. </div>

I haven't been able to sleep through the night since Friday. I'm not able to wrap my head around the Sandy Hook tragedy. 26 lives lost. 20 innocent children just 6-7 years old. It's unimaginable and yet it happened. Landon has spent every night since in my bed. I'm glad he's out on Christmas break because I just don't know if I could allow him at school right now otherwise. Him leaving my sight right now just isn't an option. I've always hugged and kissed him and told him how much I loved him a thousand times a day, but somehow I have upped that. I just can't imagine the horror of sending my child off to school to receive news that he was gunned down that very day. I have never been so happy to scrub vomit off of the carpet at 4 a.m. as I was yesterday morning. At least my child was alive and able to create such a mess throughout the night. Life will never be thought of in the same way. And those poor children who survived. Who witnessed others being gun downed. Their innocence completely lost. Life as they knew it, life as being children is over for them as well. They may have survived this horrific incident, but they did not make it out unharmed. I just can't imagine....</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm going to continue to hug my Landon Love a little longer and a little tighter. </div>

Landon wrote his Christmas list for Santa a few weeks back. I guess chocolate milk was on his mind because it made his list! A few days after writing this my sister asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he responded with "bags and bags of chocolate milk." He acts like I deprive him of chocolate milk or something! I wonder what he'll do if he actually winds up with a large box filled with chocolate milk. The other items that made his list were a new puppy (so not happening), a train table, Hulk, Thor and Captain America talking action figures. His wants were relatively simple this year. He did mark just about every page in the Toys R Us Big Book, but when it came time to write his list only these items made the "really want" cut. He informed me that everything else in the book was just a "kind of want". Landon is so excited for Christmas this year and I can't wait too see his face come Christmas morning. </div>

This will be one more picture filled post to finish playing catch up from fall. Landon had his first field trip to a pumpkin patch. He was so excited to ride on an actual school bus. He was also excited to wear the shirt that he made in class just for the occasion. </div>

We went to another pumpkin patch as well. It was one with a large corn maze, hay rides, and farm animals. Landon had a lot of fun there as well. He has been really attached to a toy dog of his ever since Tink died. It's been two months and just this morning he took the toy with us to the store. We know it's his way of coping with things, but I'm starting to worry about his constant need for this toy dog. He's even talking about buying it a dog toy/present from PetSmart for Christmas. These next few pictures will show you just how attached he has been to Scout (the toy dog). </div>

Landon was Batman for Halloween. I was hoping he'd go with a different character because he's dressed as Batman every single day, but there was no changing his mind. He really did make a cute Batman though and stayed in character most of the night. And an added bonus- Landon went around for almost half an hour before asking to go home to bed. Maybe next year we'll complete an entire neighborhood before he realizes that it's past bedtime. </div>

I love fall because it means that we can go to the pumpkin patch. This year was our 5th annual visit to the pumpkin patch.

I've taken a little hiatus from blogging. We lost our precious Tinkerbell over a month ago and it's been incredibly hard. I've been putting off blogging because I didn't want to have to think about this blog in particular, but I knew there was no way I could blog without mentioning her passing. She was such a huge part of our lives that there was no escaping this post. We're taking it one day at a time and getting through it the best that we can. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On to a happier subject, Landon is reading now. He's been able to read simple words like "dog", "cat", "tree", "stop", short three to four letter words for about a year now. But that was due to him memorizing them. Now he's actually sounding out unfamiliar words to unfamiliar stories all on his own. I'm such a proud mommy! He also learned how to spell and write his last name which was no easy feat. He's becoming so smart and my heart just swells with pride. At night time he will be laying in bed and start singing himself to sleep by singing all of the songs that he has learned at school, in Spanish no less. He always ends his nighttime singing with reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. I never get tired of hearing him say that. School has really opened him up. Landon now has full conversations with complete strangers when we are out and about. He used to be really shy around people, especially other kids, but now he goes right up to everyone and talks a mile a minute. I know him being so excited about meeting new people and talking to strangers isn't always a good thing so he is fully aware of "stranger danger", but I love how outgoing he has become. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soccer season has come to an end. Landon loved playing. He can't wait for the next season to start back up. I was kind of wanting him to try out t-ball, but he cried at the mention of it. I wanted him to try different sports to see what one really caught his interest. I figured now was the right time and age to get him try different things, but he wants no part of it. He only wants to play soccer so I guess soccer will be starting back up come January. </div>

Soccer is in full swing and Landon is loving every minute of it. It took him two games to come out of his shell, but he scored two goals his last game. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The past couple of weeks have been filled with sickness. Landon had a really bad stomach virus for a week and a half and then followed that up with a bad cold. We've been down and out for a couple of weeks now. I managed to not catch the stomach virus, but this cold has hit me hard. Landon was upset over the fact that he was sick yet again so I tried cheering him up by doing a couple of nice things for him. I baked him a cake, cleaned his room, and assembled all of his dinosaurs for him. Those simple little things made him very happy and it reminded me that sometimes the little gestures mean more than the grand ones. </div>

Landon is doing really well in school. He's learning Spanish and sign language. I love hearing about his day. He now knows all of the colors and the days of the week in Spanish. He also learned the Pledge of Allegiance. He's learning so much more than I ever thought he would in pre-school. His first field trip is coming up, which he is looking forward to. </div>

The first two weeks of pre-school have come to an end. The first couple of days were a bit touch and go on whether Landon liked going. He would say that he had fun and would tell everyone that he wanted to go back, but he would come up to me as "Batman" to tell me otherwise. Batman would tell me that Landon didn't like going to school because it was "soooo long" and he missed his Mommy. I made sure to give Batman extra hugs on those days. Even if he said those things at nighttime, by the time we pulled into the school parking lot he was all smiles and shouting "yay yay yay" over and over again. I think it was just an adjustment for him those first couple of days. This is the first time Landon has ever spent any amount of time without an immediate family member caring for him. I think it also helps that Landon's best friend was able to get into the same class as him so he has a familiar face while at school. Plus, he's only there for three hours a day so he knows that he'll be back home shortly. His teachers tell me great things about him every afternoon at pick up. He listens well, he cleans up after himself and others, and he seems to always be on his best behavior while at school. I love hearing those reports. He may misbehave at times at home, but what four year old doesn't? The feedback I receive from his teachers reassures me that Landon is receiving the proper guidance and discipline from home. He knows how to behave and he knows how to respect authority. Yes, he may push my buttons or Kevin's buttons, but he definitely knows how to be on his best behavior while he's out of our care. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week was also Landon's first week of soccer practice. I was a little nervous just because I didn't know how it would be coaching a bunch of four year olds, let alone my own child. Things went well and I'm looking forward to this soccer season. Landon had so much fun and is asking every day if today is soccer day. I can't wait until his first game when he's in his uniform! </div>

We recently went to the Alligator Farm and Landon had a blast. That morning I watched as Landon started pulling all of his clothing out of his dresser drawers. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was looking for his alligator shirt. The only one he had was becoming too small so I placed it in a bin to donate. He was adamant about wearing his alligator shirt to see the alligators so I had to unpack it for him. We couldn't pull into a parking spot fast enough. Landon asked to get out of the car as we were still driving looking around for a place to park. He was so excited and the thought of waiting to park the car was just too much for him to handle! He ran to the first exhibit while yelling "come on guys" to those of us left behind in his dust.</div>

Landon was able to pet a baby alligator. He then found out that he could hold that same alligator. His eyes lit up at the thought of it. That was, until he was informed that he was too small to hold the alligator all by himself. Landon was so offended by that, but his Uncle Matt came to his rescue and stepped up to the plate. I was going to hold it with him, but the second the thing was brought out of the cage and its head whipped around at me I screamed and stepped back. I knew right then that I wasn't a good candidate to hold its head. I took the picture instead from a safe distance away.</div>

This baby alligator made Matt think that he could take on a 12 1/2 foot, 650 pound alligator. He paid money to potentially lose an arm or leg. Completely ridiculous, but he was Landon's hero for the remainder of the day. Matt made it out alive and Landon's first words to him were "Can I go down there now?" I think not, Landon! </div>

Landon's first day of school was today. He did so well and kept telling me that he was going to be brave. And brave he was. He didn't shed a single tear. Me, not so much. I thought he was going to have a complete meltdown based on his reaction the night before, but he did really well when it came time for me to leave his classroom. The night before I made Landon cupcakes to celebrate the summer coming to an end. I invited one of his friends over to enjoy the cupcakes as well. </div>

I then read a book to him that was read to me when I was a child. I love that this book was saved over the years and that I was able to share it with Landon. It was during this story that Landon became hesitant about going to school. In the story the mama bear leaves her bear cub at school. Landon realized at that very moment that I would actually be leaving him in his classroom with just his classmates and teacher. Before that point, he believed that I would be in class with him. The second I read that sentence his mouth dropped and his eyes grew wide. I reassured him that I would be back in just a couple of hours to pick him up and he promised to be brave. He made good on his promise and I of course made good on mine and came to pick him up. </div>

This is going to be a post of several random pictures just because. I came across this little set up in the living room and it gave me a smile: </div>

I would love to get into Landon's head one day. He has quite the imagination. I had him explain to me why the rhino was being surrounded by bugs and crayons. He said that the rhino was bad and the bugs were keeping him in his cage. Sounds good to me! </div>

Back to school sales are always a great time to re-stock our arts and crafts supplies. I stocked up on crayons, colored pencils, markers, glue sticks, those sorts of things. I organized Landon's desk and topped it with a couple of new coloring books and some drawing paper. Ever since, Landon has been spending much of his time coloring and drawing. I came across these pictures one night while I was picking up his room:</div>
