Sweet Sleeps

For the past few months, I have talked to Paul about creating a blog about Landon and his sleeping arrangements. Every night before we go to bed, we sneak into each of the kids' rooms and kiss them goodnight one last time. Well, lately it has been very entertaining to go in and give Landon his final goodnight kiss.

This is one of his toy holders. And that is a sign that was on a shelf on his wall that he loves because it has dinosaurs on it.

Sleeping soundly with his new favorite book. For each page, it makes the sound of a particular animal and he LOVES it.

These pictures hang on his wall next to his bed. I painted them for him when we decided we would decorate Landon's room with "all of his favorite things". His room has Nemo, Dinosaurs, Fishies, Mickey Mouse, beach/surfing collages, and a signed poster of Cal Ripken (because who wouldn't want that in their room!). :)

The next night he did the same thing...this time he must have been admiring them and then decided to use them as a blanket.

This is a pretty normal night...snuggled up with his puppy and all of his stuffed animals.

Had to get a close up of this pick...Go Bruins! :)

Another semi-normal night, except he HAD to sleep with his sleeping bag with the fishies all over it!

We recently pulled this toy out from storage for Elle. It was Landon's when he was little and he insists that it is still his and he must have it in his room. :)

Another view of him snuggling with the toy that is now Elle's.

Another night he decided to pull up some books to read before he fell asleep. And that green guy is Scout. Landon stays up at night talking to Scout. When you push his feet, Scout asks questions and we listen to Landon answer him. Landon will say, "Red!", "Ye-ww-ow!", "Blue!". It's really sweet and brings a smile to my face every time. And it's a happy-sad moment for me because he is getting so smart and so big, and yet it makes me sad because he is growing up so fast.

This one is my favorite. He must have been having a good time because he is conked out! We are happy he loves to read so much.

Once we have cleared his bed with all of his books, toys, and what-nots, we give him one last kiss for the evening, tuck him in and sneak out. One of our favorite times of the day.

We can't wait to see what Elle does when she is 2!
