It's a Jungle in Here!

Landon has been obsessed with animals from day one it seems. Walmart use to carry plastic jungle animals for $1. Every time we went into Walmart, Landon would receive a new animal. It only cost us $1 and it made Landon smile from ear to ear. The $1 purchase also allowed us to bribe Landon to behave through the store as well, which I am sure all the parents out there would say that a well behaved child in Walmart is priceless! I always thought those jungle animals were the best $1 ever spent. Unfortunately, Walmart no longer carries these animals. They have been replaced with dinosaurs. Landon likes dinosaurs, but he loves animals. The dinosaurs never come back home with us because they don't catch his attention like the animals. I think every time we go into Walmart now Landon looks for the jungle animals and can never find them. As soon as we step through the sliding doors he makes a bee line for the toy department and the area where they use to sell these jungle animals.

While Walmart carried the jungle animals, Landon obtained quite the collection. A few of these animals (a tiger,  lion, and giraffe) have been going with Landon everywhere this week. He won't put them down! Every morning Landon wakes up and goes straight to his toy bin to dig out his animals. I then go to the bathroom and by the time I come back out he has lined his animals up. They are in a different spot every day.

Landon even enjoys meal time with his animals.

These next two pictures are back from February. I can't believe how much Landon has grown and changed in just 4 months. Although a hair cut and growth of an inch or two have not changed his animal obsession!
