Turning a bad day into a good day

Boy, oh boy it has been a day with my Landon!  Poor guy got in trouble all.day.long!  He would not mind me at all.  Everything was NO!  I try to only blog about the happy moments in our life.  I mean really, who wants to look back and read about our not so happy days.  So I refuse to go to bed having bad, worn out, am I making a difference in Landon's life feelings.

Some funny things did happen with him this week, so we will just concentrate on those and hope that he and I forget the yelling that went on today.

I love walking through the trails that Seth has worked so hard to create.  I feel so blessed that I can walk out our front door and go all through the woods on nature walks with the children.  Yesterday I took Landon and Sawyer for a walk.  Landon knows the woods so well and would live in them if I was brave enough to leave him.  We got to this ditch where Seth has put a board down for you to cross over. 
I said, "Landon, I don't think the stroller is going to fit across the boards."
He said, "just twy mommy!" 
I tried.  It didn't work.
I said, "It won't work."
That little rascal, turned and looked at me and said, "well bye, bye!"  and crossed over the ditch and was running off into the deep woods. 

Another funny story:

This box has provided so much entertainment for Landon.  It has been on the deck for weeks.  The other day I lost Landon.  He was on the deck and I went to the back of the house and came back and Landon was gone.  I figured he had gone down the steps and I was going to have to search all over for him.  He is so quick!
I went out onto the deck and looked over the rail and started yelling, "Landon!  Landon!"  and I would get a little more animated in my yelling, "Laaaaandoooooooonnnnnnnnnn! where are you?"
All of a sudden,

He pops out of the box right behind me.  The box I had walked right past.  And said, "Here I am, mommy!"  I jumped and let out a scream!  Then he started giggling and said, "mommy, you said, Laaaaaaaannnnndoooooonnnnn where are you!?"  He thought that was the funniest thing ever that he had pulled one over on me.
He wanted us to reenact the whole thing.
So for the next few minutes, he would hide in the box and I would walk right past it and yell, Laaaaaandooooooonnnn!  And he would pop out and I would scream!

He can be the sweetest boy.
He comes up to me out of the blue and says, "I love you so much mommy!"
Or he will say, "I like you mommy!"
He will look at me and say, "you pwetty, mommy."
He will say, "you happy mommy?"
He says, "I weally want daddy to buy me a b-bike,  mommy!"
He has started asking about Santa Clause.
"Whew does Santa Clause live mommy?"
"Is he nice?"

I say, "Landon, why won't you go poopy on the potty?"
He says, "there monstas in that potty, mommy!"
He will say, "I want some more bapple juice mommy, and that's it!"
When he is watching Little Bear, Curious George and Dora, he will say, "I sure wish little bear could jump out of that t.v. and play with me."

I love this boy, tantrums and all!
