Today, while Landon and I were making cupcakes he dipped his finger into the batter and promptly licked it. And then he did it again, and again, and again despite my "No, nos."
"Where did he get that from?," I pondered.
Oh, yeah, that's right - me.
(Although, when I lick the batter, I try to do it when he's not actually looking)

Potty Training = Piece of Cake
Although we haven't formally started potty training Landon, we are getting him acclimated to the process. I'll allow him into the bathroom while I'm in there and I'll usually put him on the toilet before putting him in the bathtub. Sometimes, he'll express an interest in sitting on the toilet on his own, even though he won't actually go.
However, today, I saw definite progress. I went into Landon's room to get his sandals so we could run to Target. He followed me into his room and said "stinky" and pointed to his bottom. Sure enough, when I peeked in his diaper I saw what he was referring to. Hopefully, this revelation of his will make the formal potty training process a piece of cake!

SYTYCD* - Toddler Style
* - So You Think You Can Dance, a dance competition on Fox.
Remember when I was trying to get a video of Landon dancing and I ended up recording his first steps? Well, I finally have a video of Landon dancing - notice that "So You Think You Can Dance" is on in the background. And, yes, I'm asking Landon to do "The Robot." Alan's trying to teach him that in refernce to my Threadless tee.
In another nod to "So You Think You Can Dance," here is a video of Landon doing his Mary Murphy (one of the judges on the show) impersonation.

Stealing from the Grocery Store
For those of you that thought I actually stole from the grocery store, you are mistaken. But, it sure did feel like stealing when I bought the following groceries for $2.97!!!
4 boxes of Raisin Bran, 4 packages of Keebler Fudge Sticks, 1 Twix bar, 1 bottle of Hunt's Ketchup, 2 cans of Bush's baked beans, and 1 can of Dole pineapple chunks.
Here's how I did it:
Wednesdays is double coupon days at Rainbow Foods. In order to get your coupons doubled, you need to spend $25. They will only double up to 5 coupons in a transaction and the coupons can't have a face value of more than $1.00.
The cereal and cookies were on special - 4 packages for $10 and when your purchased $20 worth of selected Keebler/Kellogg's products, you automatically got $10 off your order. I was worried because this came off right away and brought my total at the register to $15.31. I didn't think it would work to double my coupons because it only showed my subtotal as $15.31 (with tax), but it did work!
Now to get up to the $25 level, I used several coupons for free items - the candy bar and the ketchup; I got 75 cents and $1.59 off, respectively, for those items (bringing total down to $12.97). I had a $1.00 of two coupon for the baked beans, which were 99 cents a piece. Coupon doubled to $2.00 so I got those for free, plus overage ($10.97). The pineapple was also 99 cents and I had a 50 cents off coupon for that, so I got $1.00 of my purchase($9.97). In addition, I had 2 $1.00 off coupons for the purchase of two Keebler Fudge Shoppe cookies. I got $4 off total for the 4 packages of cookies ($5.97). I then had two coupons for $1.50 off two packages of Raisin Bran. The woman at the register implied that I would get the $1.50 off and then $1.00 off for one of them (it would have been my 5th coupon), but it didn't work that way. So, I got $3 off the 4 boxes of cereal, bringing my total to $2.97.
I would have done even better had I found my other 3 Kellogg's coupons ($1.00 off 1 box, which would have been doubled to $2.00) and we would have had more variety in our cereal choices, but cereal is pretty shelf stable so I'm not too worried about that. : )
