A Tricky Problem

Landon stole my heart today doing the most unassuming thing. I was working on making 22 Baby Shower invitations (sigh. next time I should buy them.) in my craft room and Landon was sitting with me, keeping me company....By the way...here's the finished product. The card opens like little doors (the truck goes to the right...the "boy load" stays on the left) Inside has the invitation printed on the same paper as the truck.



Anyway, back to my story..after a short while Landon left the craft room, and returned with his ride-in car. He asked me to lift it up so he could, "fix it with his tools, like Daddy".

When I asked him what was wrong with his car, he replied, "it's a tricky problem. I gotta' use my tools.'

Carlos handles all of our car maintenance and Landon will spend hours outside in the garage, just sitting there watching him. I thought, wow! Landon is following examples even on the smallest tasks and actions, and going to such lengths as to role play to be like Daddy! So, sweet.

Okay, now that I've posted tonight...I can cross this off my list of things to do before we leave for California. The National Lampoon's Vacation...Monge-style rolls out at "oh-700"!! Did I tell you?? Temperatures are expected in the mid 70's and lows in the mid 60's and I can hardly wait!
