The Things Kids Say

As we were sitting in church singing the opening hymn, there was this little voice singing at the top of his lungs inaudible things. It was very much like baby babble coming from a not so older voice. We soon realized that this noise was coming from OUR bench. I look over and to my surprise and shagrin, Landon had his hymnal out to some random page and was belting out a song that the most seasoned interpreter could not make sense of.
I quickly tapped him on the shoulder and gave him a shhhh and a look. He gave me the look right back and proclaimed "Dad, I'm singing in spanish!" Neither Amie nor I nor the couple behind us could finish the song.

On Mother's Day we sat around the table and I thought it would be a good thing if we went around the table and said what we loved about mom. I went first followed by Logan. When it was Landon's turn he looked thoughtfully at the ceiling trying to think of something so great, so tremendous, so special that it would take his mom's breath away. When he had thought for a bit he proudly proclaimed with a big smile on his face, "Well, I love that she does Gilad!"

For those of you who don't know, Gilad is a mid 50's exercise instructor who has a show on the Fit TV channel. Amie and her good friend spent the early morning hours every other day with Gilad.

I love my little Landon!

Dad told me about Landon singing in spanish, that is too funny.

I thought it was so funny when I went in the boys room and the radio was blasting with spanish music and you told me that they love the spanish station. It makes my laugh.
