So often I look at Landon and wonder what he would have been like had he been born as the first child instead of the last. I think having older brother and sisters has defined him so that I can't really picture what he would be like, except maybe really bored. When they get home from school you'd think it's Christmas, every single day. I know they love how excited he gets when he sees them. Landon's new favorite activity is playing "big kid" legos with all of his siblings. (Jacob is still the favorite though if he has a choice.) Jacob pulls out the lego drawer and the kids all go to town. Sometimes there is fighting, but it's not a perfect world. Landon mostly just likes collecting his favorite pieces out of the bin since he doesn't really know how to build with them yet.
Landon has gone to visit the kids and help at the school since he was a month old. Most of the staff and teachers know him, so it will be fun when he actually starts kindergarten. A couple of days ago we made a special visit to see Connor. We went to recess with him and then ate lunch with him. Connor had the biggest smile on his face the whole time, so I need to make more of an effort while he still wants me there. Landon just thought he was one of the big kids.
When we were sitting by the kindergartners Landon would take a bite, then stuff his fingers in his ears. This coming from the child who screams for the fun of hearing how loud he can get...it was THAT loud.
Luckily this year all of the kids' lunches overlap. Just before Connor's lunchtime finished we went over and sat with Savannah for a while. She still likes to have us there too. When Zach came in we sat by him for about 2 minutes, and after having gotten about 2 words out of him in those 2 minutes we decided to go home so Landon could take a nap.
