Nobody told me that three and a half would be the sweetest time ever, most days at least \ud83d\ude09 it truly is!\u00a0Luke amazes me day by day. He has the biggest love for his sisters, he is a rock. He has great patience for them and a genuine love that isn\u2019t feigned, it\u2019s overflowing from him. Every day I discover how much he takes in\u2014he is so smart, so aware, so thoughtful towards people. He has a great sense of humor and is an incredible imitator. He remembers what you say SO well.. too well ha!<\/p>\n

He loves preschool, he really thrives there. When I pick him up and talk through the day with him, there is so much to say. He picks up on every detail. And the lesson material is locked in the vault of his memory! He has the Bible stories on lockdown and loves to cut with kid scissors and tracing. I am so happy he\u2019s loving this experience so far!<\/p>\n

He has also just begun to really enjoy engaging his imagination. He loves to play with race cars and imitate his favorite shows (Blaze, Paw Patrol to name a couple). He also loves to get on his bike and pretend to be the gardener, asking me what area of the yard I need taken care of and then vrooooming his blower all around, as loud and spitty as he can \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

He still gives the best snuggles and I feel as if it\u2019s getting better as he gets bigger. So much tenderness. Before, the boy couldn\u2019t sit still if his life depended on it, so snuggling was nearly impossible. Now that he\u2019s older, he loves to snuggle at night with me. I look forward to it every day. At bedtime, all is right if he can have snuggles, books and talking to God time..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He loves to eat all his fruits and veggies still, and has an on and off relationship with Mexican food and marinara sauce. He\u2019s always up for strawberries, any baked coffee shop treat, a\u00e7a\u00ed bowls, toast, yogurt and any special drink (almond milk, juice, tea with me..). He is very food motivated but I try to keep it as a once and a whole motivator.<\/p>\n

Gosh I love this boy. Love you to the moon and stars and planets Luke (as we always say!).<\/p>\n
