Happy Birthday Luke

My baby boy is 3 years old today. He is such a sweet and caring big brother and son, but he has his fair share of toddler moments. I am always shocked at the things he comes up with! I have been amazed t how much he adores his baby brother. He always wants to make sure he gets to go with us when we go somewhere and always asks if he can hold him and looks for him when he is napping. Sometimes he does get a bit jealous of all the time it takes to take care of a baby and wants my full attention, but he really has adjusted to being a big brother very well! He has learned how to write his name and loves to draw and colors, and he LOVES to play games. He always wants me to play games with him. He loves memory and bingo and a few other games we have! He sings the many songs he knows all the time and quite often makes up words to songs too! He is doing so well with his swimming lessons and loves the water and going swimming and playing in the hose and on the slip and slide in the back yard. He is really missing school and his friends this summer, and he can't wait to see some of them at his birthday party!

Just a few of the funny things he has said in the last few weeks. 

We were at the zoo, looking at a baboon, and he said "One day, when I turn into a baboon, I will live in there too"

I was trying to put something together for him the other day and he looked at it and told me "no, mama, that's not right- try again"

Lee was gone to play golf one say and Luke was looking for him, he asked me "where is my daddy" i told him he would be back in a little while. Luke said "but i NEED him, he is my best friend"

I can't believe how big he is now and how much he can do for himself. He is becoming so independent!

Here is a picture from this past week of him on the slip and slide:
