"I'm a man!"
Hi Lukey!!
Tonight you announced that you are a man! Well, you are 3.... but, well on your way! We talked about the plural for man being men and then I asked you the plural for candy-- you said "candies", tree?... "trees", truck?... "trucks", woman? .... you thought for a minute and said with excitement "women"!! Gosh, Lukey, you are so amazing... that's what I said to you and you said... ya--- I am really amazing!! You really, really are!
At night, when we are snuggling in bed I get a special kiss on the cheek and I get to give you one too. I say "You are my special guy" and you say to me "You are my special girl"! I love being your special girl, sweetie-- it makes my heart sing! You whisper to me "I have a question" and then I whisper "what is it?" and you say.... "I love you!". Daddy tells you "I love you more!"
You are in preschool now at Avery's school and we get to see her sometimes (which is so fun and at those times, we all jump up and down with excitement). There is a big bike yard, a sand yard and a "thing" yard! You have so much fun with your friends-- Iris is your most special friend. You two are like peanut butter and jelly..... it's like you have known each other for years (your teacher thought that you had!). Your teachers are Ms. Phyllis and Ms. Jennifer. I asked you tonight which was your favorite and you said "Ms. Phyllis" and then you said "which one is Ms. Phyllis?"!!! Then, you changed your mind and Ms. Jennifer was your favorite because she reads you stories.
You are still very much into trucks. You want to drive all of the different trucks and trains when you grow up. You especially want to drive the delivery trucks that deliver new trash cans and take the old ones away. It's the cleanest position in sanitation and you, like your daddy, like to be clean!
Except.... when you eat chocolate....
I let you lick the bowl of brownie mix once and you smeared the chocolate all over your face--- so fun!!! What's better than eating chocolate? I guess...wearing it!! You make me laugh, sweetie!!
I'll write more later.... still lots to tell you about!
I love you more!
Mommy

OHHH..... I seeeee!
Hi sweet Lukey Lukes!!!
You are 2 years, 7 months today!!! SUCH a big boy!!! We can't believe how fast you have grown!! You are a little fire-ball-- always on the go, go, go!! Tomorrow you start your first day of Preschool at a little school down the hill. Your friend Alfie goes there too and I just know you are going to love it!
Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you for doing such a great job potty training! You say "I'm doing it" and we all give a big cheer for your efforts on the potty! When you are done you get your "end um ends"--- "a green one, yellow one and black one" (they are really brown) every time. Thank you Mimi and Auntie Breezy for your big boy underwear!!!! One day you wanted to wear all 3 of your Thomas the Tank undies-- we just wore 2 tho!
You are a very sweet boy and amaze me with how much fun you are--- except when you are in one of your moods--- woooooo watch out!!! Sometimes you just yell and scream--- "stop, stop, stop!!!!!" and then throw a fit about something. It's not easy being 2, sweetheart, Mommy knows it must be so hard!! I give you a big hug when you are settled down and then we go on with our day.
You LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all things trucks and trains. You love to watch youtube with Daddy and your most often requested videos are of trash trucks and trains. You have every truck book we can find and you just study them one after the other when we are driving in the car. You are an avid reader!!
Fun things you do now:
Helping Daddy in the studio, swinging in your swing outside, climbing in and out of your crib & car seat --- "all by um self", running around the house at top speed ("like a cheetah"), playing with your Thomas train set (you make a "big long" train and then you don't move it around the track because it's "getting gas" most of the time), playing with Daddy for hours in your room, painting on your easel downstairs. On TV, you watch Zaboomafoo, Caillou and Dragon Tales. The Wiggles and Doodle Bops are a thing of the past now.
You can count to 20, sing the alphabet song, know your colors, animals and most of the various kinds of trucks!
Things we do together:
Parks, parks and more parks! We all love to go to the park and play! You are very good with the other children and have a very special technique for moving in on the other children's sand toys!! You will go sit near whoever has a toy you want to play with and you will wait and watch them play very patiently. You will get closer and closer in time and eventually, the child will go and play & leave his toy behind and then, voila-- there you are -- just you and the prized toy to play, play, play for as long as you can! It's really quiet something!
We also like to hit the zoo (thanks Mimi for our membership!!) and visit with all of the animals-- especially the gorillas! They are really special! You could stay there all day if you could! Travel Town is another great place you like to go-- trains, trains and more trains!! So fun! With daddy, Home Depot is your favorite fork lift viewing spot! Another fun place is the Santa Anita Race Track to watch the horses practice in the morning--- sooo pretty!
You love your baby Liam and he ADORES you. He looks at you and just laughs and his eyes are nothing but LOVE for his big brother! I think you are his favorite person in the whole wide world! You guys are best brothers already!!
Here is what you are saying these days--- basically--- everything you have gotten from us!
Ohhhhh..... I see! (mommy)
Stop, stop, stop! (mommy and daddy)
Wait, listen to me. (daddy)
Talk to me for a little bit. (mommy)
I'll show ya. (daddy)
You are a big ball of energy, a REEEALLLYYYYY BIG personality and a truly sweet and thoughtful young boy. I love you soooo much and I'm so proud of you every day!
Thank you for being my son-- I am the luckiest mommy in the world!
Love,
Mommy
