Landon is 4

Landon is now a big 4 year old. To celebrate his birthday we took his cousins, Aaron and MaKayla with us to Gilroy Gardens. They had a lot of fun riding rides and playing together. We had perfect weather and short lines which made it even more fun. After Gilroy Gardens we went out to eat with Grandma and Grandpa Hemingway and then back to Aaron and Makayla's to play.
Landon is growing up so fast. He loves to go to preschool and is making a lot of new friends. He is working on writing his letters now. He might be somewhat of a perfectionist because he thinks he has to get it looking perfect before he feels good about it. He'll write a letter over and over again trying to get it to look like something I might write. You'd think this would be a good thing, but the problem is if he doesn't get it looking the way he wants it within a few tries he gets mad and gives up or cries or starts throwing things. He wants so badly to be perfect at everything. To be the fastest runner, the quickest puzzle maker, the best at writing, ect. And he is pretty fast at these things for his age, but he likes to compare himself with much older kids. We're working on keeping a positive attitude even when he doesn't do as good as he thinks he should. One of the things he's doing awesome on is swimming. We had 80 degree weather last week so we went swimming and practiced what he's been learning in swim lessons. He found a new love of jumping into the pool and then swimming to the edge on his own. He's really good at putting his head in the water and kicking and he's working on his arm strokes. He loves to sing songs, read books, go to the park, play with friends, say prayers, have family home evening, pretend, and go to the mall. He's always giving me compliments like, "Mom, you look like a princess" and "That dress is beautiful". And I love it when he says, "I love you, mom" when I drop him off at preschool or at bed time. He's a kid that likes to be on the go. He's happiest when he's doing things all hours of the day. This makes life fun and exciting and we are always exhausted when bed time comes. Pictures of the big day are coming.
