Ice Cream Swimming

Luke loves the water and going swimming.  Almost as much as he loves ice cream.  Put the two together and it makes for one happy kid!

Yes, It's Been a While...

Having a new baby takes up so much of your time!  Who would've thought? Ha!  But we have been busy and Luke has been having a blast this summer.  We are very busy during the week.  Luke has music school on Mondays and Wednesdays and he is learning so much!  They say he's very musically inclined (not sure what that means yet but will soon when they put on their show at the end of the month).  Tuesdays Luke has Little Gym and Thursdays is kids movie day at Warren Theaters so he gets to go to a movie every week.  He seems to really like going to movies...especially the popcorn part.  But he sits through all of them!

Luke will be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, singing "We Will Rock You," and "See Ya Later Alligator" at his music school program.  He can imitate the beat of "We Will Rock You" on his drums here at home like a champ!  I'm not sure what really goes on behind those doors of music school, but he's excited when I pick him up and worn out from playing so hard.  He's learning valuable lessons, like biting hurts, when his friend bit through Luke's finger and broke the skin...as well as... time out sucks at school when you push and hit the other kids.  I'm just glad to know that my kid is not the only one raising hell in there.

I have a ton of pictures to share but will keep it to a minimum to avoid boredom for my readers (all of the hundreds I have out there :)

The "Train"

Luke was very busy this morning.  He decided he needed a "train" of ALL of his toys down the hallway.  I just can't wait to put everything back!

To Soap or Not to Soap?

To soap is definitely the answer.  Everywhere.  At least that's what Luke thought the other night.  You always know something is up when it gets really quiet.  Apparently he thought he was REALLY dirty because nearly a whole thing of foamy soap went into his hand washing.  So funny that as we were cracking up at him, the words "no no" just didn't have the appropriate effect.

I'm not sure what the one arm out of his sleeve through the neck hole means, but apparently he thought his right arm was extra dirty.
