Giving Thanks

For my two little turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!

Three

When Allie was Landon's age we took her to SLC to see the lights at Temple Square with the Toone family. That night for dinner she requested that we take her somewhere that she could have salad and an ice water with 3 ice cubes. From that moment on she would always request/demand 3 ice cubes in her water. That went on for years and now Landon seems to have developed a similar fascination with the number 3. Every time we tuck him into bed he closely scrutinizes his surroundings to make sure that we have not forgotten his "3 blankies" and his "3 doggies". Every. Single. Time. It's a good thing I can count to 3. It has been a critical skill for raising toddlers in my home.

Did You Know

That November is National Adoption Month?

The Gift of Adoption

Why Adoption?

What do you want?

Here is a little conversation I had the other day with an extremely cranky Landon....

Mom: Would you like a drink of milk?
Landon: No!
Mom: Should we go and read a book?
Landon: No.
Mom: Do you want to watch TV?
Landon: No!
Mom: How about a cracker?
Landon: Nooooooo
Mom: Well, what do you want?
Landon: Hmmm.....a haircut.

And, so, he got a haircut. He needed one anyways.
