Well, here goes:
Luke, 3 years old
Luke has all of a sudden become so grown up to me! He is going to school 3 days a week now and seems to really love it. He is so sweet when I drop him off in the morning. I guess he hasn't hit the stage where he is embarrassed of me so I always get a kiss and I love you from him :) His teachers call him Lukey. I think that is really neat b/c that is our nickname for him at home. Luke also sometimes refers to himself as Lukey too :) I think it shows how wonderful his teachers are to pick up on it and to how they must really like him. My friend Charlotte once told me she thinks other children gravitate towards Luke. I could not agree more! Luke is smart, athletic, and fun to be around. He is not shy at all and has the courage to approach other children and invite them to play. For a 3 year old, that is a BIG deal. It is so amazing to watch him literally grow in front of my eyes into a real little boy. He is such a thoughtful child. The best time in my day is when he for no reason tells me he loves me.
Ryan, 19 months
Ryan is often described by other people as "all boy". He NEVER stops. He is very physical and absolutely loves to just run! Ryan has also had somewhat of a verbal explosion. It sort of happened overnight. He says a ton of words now and loves to chat when we are in the car. Right now he is very into butterflies. Ryan calls them "booflies". It is precious! We see a lot of butterflies at the park and it is the highlight of his day when he sees them. Ryan still gives the worlds best hugs and his laugh is filled with joy. We went to the vet the other day and Luke got Ryan to laugh by running around him. The vet, the vet's helper, and me totally started laughing when we heard Ryan's laugh. It was so funny. The vet honestly busted out laughing and apologized to me for not being able to keep a straight face. I think Ryan is going to have a terrific sense of humor. Oh, his other thing is to say "bye bye see ya soon". He melts my heart!
I promise to be better with my blogging!
Oh, shout out to my pickle -- he has been working now for about 18 straight hours. LOVE LOVE YOU
