Dear Landon,
Today, at the mall, something strange happened. I helped my baby boy get on the toddler train ride, and as I stepped away and the train began to go round and round, I saw a big boy sitting there. You have to imagine how surprised I was watching this big boy ride round and round "by self". You see, you are my baby. I prayed for you. Begged for you. Dreamed of you. And now, you have, before my very eyes, turned into a boy.
I am trying to not be sad you are growing up. I know we have a lot to look forward to together. I can't wait to travel more with you, watch you learn and understand, be creative, find your passion, fall in love, get married...
I am proud of you, everything you do, your sense of humor ( see a bit of Great Grandma Jenifer in there who's birthday is today), your loving sweetness. I am so happy to be your mom.
Today you have another surgery. I'm not happy about it but it has to be done. They will be skin grafting. You will see me smiling and being chipper but I am terrified. If anything ever happened to you they'd have to put me in a padded cell.
I want you to know you are brave, braver than me. I am inspired by you and I love you so much.
Prayers for Landon please today. We could really use it!
UPDATE:
We are home and resting. What an exhausting day! Landon is doing well. He is such a trooper. Blue cast this time!

Isn't it amazing how you just look one moment and suddenly realize they are growing up. I saw that with Logan a few weeks ago. You guys will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure he will do just fine.
You have my prayers. God is with you, even when it doesn't seem like it.
How sweet. It is so hard to see them growing up.
Good luck with the surgery today. You'll be in my thoughts.

BIG BIG BIG PRAYERS XOXOXO
I will be praying for Landon and all of you as you go through these days. Isaiah 40:11 is a good mommy/child verse:
"He tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young." God's peace to you.
Oh, I know! Last week my little guy (almost 4) dropped my hand after we were finished crossing the parking lot. He is my baby!
I will be thinking of Landon!
Love and Prayers for Landon, Mommy & Daddy. I pray that Landon heal quickly and Mom & Dad have peaceful hearts.
It is bittersweet to watch them grow. Every new stage has such joy but we do mourn what is left behind.
Your sweet little boy is in my prayers!
They grow up way too fast!
I'll be thinking about you & Landon today. I pray that his surgery goes well.
Praying all goes well!!! He's brave because his mom is brave even if you don't feel like it at times. Children feel their parents' vibes. He knows he's loved and being watched out for by you guys has he goes through these surgeries.
