Growing Up Luke

This was so cute, I just had to get it posted. This was his idea, I just happened to walk downstairs and find him this way.

This is a short video of Luke and Oliver playing in the floor. We only have one Sit ‘N Spin, but that didn’t stop Oliver from having fun. As Luke takes a hit and has to go see mommy, you see Oliver start to “pick up the reins” right where Luke left off.

We had just finished watching Jingle All the Way with Luke and he was dancing to the music at the end. Dancing for Luke usually involves a lot of spinning around. He lost his balance and fell with his head hitting the corner of the coffee table. Tammy picked him up and immediately said, “We are going to the hospital”. We rushed out of the house to the hospital. We had planned to go to one near our house (which was one of the features we discussed when considering the house), but it was closed. Instead, we went to Dayton Children’s Hospital. If you ever have to take a child to a hospital, the children’s hospitals are the best. During the ensuing stitches that followed, a nice lady at the hospital held an iPad playing Curious George to try and calm him down.

Luke didn’t know what a Band-Aid was, so he called it a stickers.  Every so often, he would grab his head and say “stickers”.  Here is a picture of him with his “sticker” they put on to help numb the area before the stitches.

Here he is pointing to his “stickers”

Here he is playing with his tools. You can see from the expression on his face that he takes this job very serious.

This boy is always having fun. He has learned to stand up on his Tow Mater as he rides it. He is usually looking behind him or down at the wheels while he is driving. Seldom does he look directly in front of him. 🙂

We have been having this struggle with Luke about sleeping in his own bed. Today, Tammy told him to go get in his bed and take a nap. When she went in to check on him later, she found him in our bed crashed out.

A pretty happy looking camper…

After a very busy morning at the park, Luke was starving. Here is a fun video of lunch afterwards. I had stop filming before the end when he wanted his hands clean, so he just held them down to his side for the dogs to lick his fingers…
