Landon never ceases to entertain us. My parents recently asked Landon was Bryce’s middle name is. Landon thought for a moment, then said, “Tree!” Bryce’s middle name is Forrest, and I love that Landon clearly had an idea the name reminded him of the outdoors, but couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

Last weekend I was gathering laundry while Landon was playing outside. He came inside yelling, “I found some yummy food!” I didn’t think much of it; he has a rich imagination and frequently pretends to cook. But he was rather persistent that he found some yummy food and I had to come see it. I walked toward the entryway, expecting to see him holding a weed or an uprooted garden plant. Instead, Landon was very proudly holding a DEAD MOUSE. “I found some yummy food!” he exclaimed again and wondered how Daddy would cook it. For reference, we had lamb – not mouse – for dinner that night.

We were rather delayed in our pumpkin activities this year. Although we made it to a pumpkin patch before Halloween, I didn’t get around to gutting the pumpkin until after the time change. As it turns out, that’s a decision I’ll likely repeat in future years since finding indoor activities when it gets dark so early is a challenge. Landon loved it!

Bryce is quite efficient at rolling from his back to tummy and occasionally makes it from his tummy to back.
