1. My sister and I went on a long training walk for the 3Day and found a dead butterfly on the ground. We brought it home to show the kids. When Luke saw it, he bent over really close to it and whispered, "Hi, bubbafwy!" I couldn't figure out what he was doing, but then it hit me - Mr. Brown Can Moo by Dr. Suess! There is a part that says, "Mr. Brown can whisper, whisper very soft, very high, like the soft, soft whisper of a butterfly. Maybe you can too, I think you ought to try." I laughed for a long time at the connection he made.
2. Last week we were walking out of my most loathed store - Wal-Mart SuperCenter. We were about 3 cars away from ours and Luke pointed to it and said, "Mommy's car right here!"
"That's right, Luke, Mommy's car is right here!"
3. Yesterday, we were in Old Navy and Luke was dancing in his seat to the song that was playing. As soon as it was over, he started clapping and said, "Yay! Good song!" He's been saying this a lot lately to songs. We sang 'Away in a Manger' from a book the other day and he said it then, too. He is picky, though. Not every song deserves a - Yay, good song - apparently!
4. During the same Old Navy trip, he pointed to a door to the back room that looked like a public restroom door. He then said loudly, "Mommy, go poop!" Nice. No, Mommy doesn't need to go poop, but it does look like a restroom door. I was a little embarrassed when another shopper started snickering. As the Carpenter's coined, 'it's only just begun'...the embarrassment, that is!
5. While eating his snack the other day and I caught him looking at his raisin and saying, "Bye Bye, Ree Ree", and then gobbling it up! Hilarious!
6. He just discovered his sunglasses and loves to wear them. The other day we were getting in the car and when I put them on him he said, "Cool dude!" Cracked me up!
7. This one can only be seen! It's amazing how well he is talking now. 'Have a Good Day'!
(Lee Lee is David's mom, Lou Lou. 'Dabby' is his way of saying Grandma, my mom.)
8. I am amazed by him everyday! We were coloring today and I wrote the letter 'L' on his paper and asked him to name the letter for me. He paused for a minute and then said, 'u, k, e, Mommy'. Meaning, add u, k, and e to it so that it is my name! Then I said, 'Can you spell your name?' and he did!!! NO JOKE! I almost fell out of the smurf chair I was in! He said, 'L-U-K-E...Luke'! I shot a less enthusiastic rendition on video for you. He's not as impressed with himself anymore. On to new things, I guess. I am a very impressed Mommy, though!
