Landon..."I finally lost my tooth!" in Paragonah.

Landon is our sweet kinder kid. He has watched so many of his classmates loose teeth during the year. One of the girls in his class lost a tooth at school & she got sent to the office for a {Treasure Chest}. Oh, how he wanted one too! Well, he still had a mouth full before we left on spring break. While in Utah, he spent 2 nights at his {Great-Grandparents} house all by himself-What a treat! Winston was at his {Adventure Race} in Moab & the rest of us at clogging competition in St. George.

Grandma called a few days before he arrived to get a menu of items he would eat. She wasn't going to fix anything he wouldn't eat (heaven forbid). This was list...bananas, Mac-N-Cheese & hotdogs. You know all, the healthy stuff : )

Saturday, he knocked it loose eating a carrot (not on the list). Sunday morning for {BREAKFAST} he couldn't eat because it was soooo loose. So for an [HOUR] grandma & grandpa watched him work that sucker out! Grandpa's finger were too big to get a good grip. And that method of tying a string to it & slamming the door that HE always threatened us with...{EMPTY THREAT}! He was so sweet helping Landon, encouraging him along. Landon pulled it out [ALL BY HIMSELF]! What a boy! (This is also the same kid that potty trained himself while I was away at clogging camp. Lucky me.)

We arrived in Paragonah Sunday afternoon.

He ran out to us so fast...

"I FINALLY LOST MY TOOTH!"

My grandparents had fun with him. The 1st night they could hear him sniffling & crying in his sleeping bag on the couch. Grandpa went in to find out what was wrong. He said, "I miss my mom & dad". Grandpa told him that they loved him too & they would take good care of him. He fell fast asleep & was happy as can be for the rest of the time.

He got to do chores with Grandpa too. While out feeding the sheep, Landon asked Grandpa, "Is this all you do, all day?" Hehehe...such a city kid.

Landon has also been working on some behavior issues at school...mostly hands to himself, talking, pushing, wanting to be the front of the line (BOYS are like THAT)...but 1 trip to the principal's office & we figure we need to nip this quick. I spoke with my grandma on the phone today. Her and grandpa were going through some old boxes. They found a school progress report of Grandpa's. His teacher wrote, "Dale is a good student academically, but he sure LIKES TO TALK ALOT!" They laughed & said Landon comes by it {NATURALLY}.
