My little Lukey pie just turned three years old yesterday! He held the "baby of the family" role for longer than the rest and also since he is the fourth he just seems to carry on as the "baby" in my mind. But he will correct me promptly if he ever hears me call him that! He is not a baby! He is not a big boy! He is Lukey! Luke is such a happy camper. He is a boy with big brown eyes (and gorgeously long eye lashes!) that can melt his mama's heart. He is with a blanket and a sippy cup saying "juice." He is smiling and laughing and keeping up with the big kids. He is crawling in my lap whenever there is one to crawl into. He is animal loving, outside loving, candy and juice loving, question asking, non-stop jabbering. He is sweet through and through.
All Luke wanted for his birthday was a whistle and a blue sucker (he is still working on colors, but has blue down!). I guess it must be all of Jude's basketball games he was drug along to that inspired the whistle. We did get one for him, but as predicted it has been confiscated numerous times already. We also got him a giant semi truck to go with the combine and grain cart.
His birthday was on a Sunday and after talking about how it was coming for so long (since Mikey's) he couldn't really believe it had come and insisted it was tomorrow. Anyway Gil's parents joined us for church and then we had lunch at Godfather's. My parents joined us later at our house for some cake and ice cream. I made some Super Why characters to go on the cupcakes and Alissa made him an adorable shirt to go with the theme. I thought Super Why was a fitting theme not only because he loves the show, but because 'why' is one of his current favorite words. He needs to know all the things!!!
This year Luke has learned to play by himself, become a big brother, become nearly potty trained (oh heavens!), moved to a bunk bed with his brothers, bottle fed some baby calves, helped with lots of chores, got many rides on the side by side, and so much more!
