4!

10/14/2011

Luke turned 4! I can't believe my little baby boy is 4 years old already.
Luke, you are the sweetest boy ever. You are very considerate of feelings and wear your own on your sleeve. It doesn't take much to hurt your feelings, even a sideways glance can set you off, but you also try so hard to be a good boy because you can't stand someone being upset with you. And you are such a good boy Luke. Even though we all have our moments and you definitely have yours, you are generally a very happy and fun child and I am so happy you are part of our family. The past year has brought you a new baby brother and you are already a terrific big brother and are loving and protective of Brad. He is lucky to have you. You are a big help to me and Daddy and the older you get the more you are able to help out with and you do so willingly (usually).

You love your school and Ms Bonnie your teacher. Your best buddy this year at school is Tyler and you still get to see your old friends Ben and Alec. You are still very much into cars and cartoons and movies. You've been really fond of Batman and Spiderman this year. You like to make up stories and tell me and Daddy them all the time. You've memorized some of your books and even took Daddy by surprise one night and he asked me if you could read because you did such a good job!
The things that have made me and Daddy chuckle this year have been how you ask all the time if you can have something for your birthday or Christmas and we tell you to put it on your list and that makes you so excited. Also, you have a creative imagination and tell us daily about the things you did when you were 15 years old with your brothers and your mommy and daddy that weren't me and daddy. Sometimes they have names you remember and sometimes they don't. Sometimes it is a little freaky how much detail you have in these stories...

You have grown like a weed already the first half of your year of 4. I had to buy you new shoes (sz 11) in January after just getting you new shoes for your 4th birthday! You still are a little shy when first meeting people and you cling to mommy still in the mornings at school, but rarely any tears. We've been so proud of you the way you took to your T-ball team this Spring. You are really enjoying playing for the Braves and have hit the ball without a tee almost the whole season!

Luke we so adore you and are having the best time watching you grow up!
Love you lots,
Mommy and Daddy
