Landon Reese


At 2 yrs. old, Landon is an incredibly helpful child. He is fully potty-trained (Yes, we still have accidents, but rarely) and he comprehends everything you tell him.
Landon is perfectly content on the back of Ethan's four-wheeler as Ethan tags along with me as I walk down the lane. Now he is enjoying cruising in the seat attached to my bike. Great workout for me - pulling 35 EXTRA pounds.
Shawn has a huge tub of bubble gum leftover from a business thing, and so Landon loves going in the office and picking out the blue piece.
He still has his crazy moments that can frustrate a parent to no end:
1) Writing on things that are not supposed to have ink scrawled all over them.
2) Trying to wipe his own bottom if I don't come to his aide soon enough :-)
3) Spraying his brother with the hose, accidentally, but only to have his brother go into hysterics.
4) Today, as I was folding clothes, I overheard Ethan saying, "Landon, don't sit on her!" Come to find out, Landon was riding the "horsey" - only the horsey wasn't his big, masculine father, it was his little, helpless sister who was lying on the bed!

A child will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank balance smaller, home happier, clothes dirty, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

He is so cute and crazy! I love to hear about all of their shenanigans... I probably won't think they're as funny when Magnus learns how to do those things.

You are a great mom, Melanie!! Keep your sense of humor--and it can never get you down!! I've laughed at some pretty dumb things! I love checking out your "Blog" every so often. How do you have time to do all this stuff!! I'm impressed!
