Since I last wrote, we moved into a new house, rented out our old house (about a mile apart from each other), and started the new school year. Landon has learned so much in the past several months; he is now in "Early Preschool 1" at school. They sit in regular (small-sized) chairs at a regular (small-sized) table, drink out of open cups, have regular backpacks, and do lots of lessons and play time. Although we don't think he's quite ready, they even will help potty-train at this point (crazy to think we're almost there already!)
We get fun notes from the teachers all the time about how he loved the "weather" lesson, or how he loves to color and can draw straight lines, or how he is one of the best participants in "circle time" in the morning and he can even put puzzle pieces in the right places. They probably tell all the parents these things, but we are very proud of our smart boy! We are most impressed lately with his breadth of sign language vocabulary. He can do signs for a lot of common words, which really helps in deciphering what he wants, but he also does a lot of random ones, like animals, airplanes, etc. And he picks them up so fast - just one time and he seems to remember them permanently. Along with the signs, he is saying more and more as well, so he's always talking and on the move. (We think his favorite word at the moment is Papa, followed in close second by ball, bubble, box, blocks, and other words that start with 'b'). He definitely loves his bath with bubbles, and says "bubble" over and over while it's running. So funny.
Needless to say, this is a really fun stage and we are enjoying it immensely. Enjoy the pictures!
