Luke graduated from preschool last Friday. I can't believe he will be starting Kindergarten in a couple of months. Time really seems to fly by. Oddly, I'm not really sad about it at all. I miss my little baby, but I love having this smart little boy who can carry on a full conversation with me. If I've learned anything over the past several months, it is that life is to be enjoyed each and every day!
Luke turned 5 on Sunday. I can't believe my baby boy is 5 years old. He will start kindergarten this fall. Here are a couple of pictures from the party thanks to Amy and my mom. I'm such a great mother I didn't take a camera to my own child's birthday party!
I finally got around to downloading the pictures from my phone.
Can you tell he is not really interested in having his picture made?
We made a Monday-Friday, mad, 6-stop, Christmas trip spectacular this week. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the week.
Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, but I've been pretty busy with other things lately! Here are a couple of cute pictures we've taken of Luke over the past few weeks.
Our associate pastor, Ben, found 4 baby rabbits in his front yard the other day. He and Jeremy put them in the backyard of the empty house next door to try to keep the dogs and cats away from them. Jeremy took Luke and I down to see them later in the day and discovered that a dog had gotten at least one of them, and we couldn't find the other 3. To make a long story short, we found 1 of them and brought it home. I called a wildlife rehabilitation specialist who told me this bunny was old enough to be on its own, so we waited until dark and released it outside of the city a little bit. It was so cute! Luke, of course, was in love with it. He named it Cutie. Here are a few pictures of Luke and Cutie before Cutie's return to the great outdoors.
So Luke has been a little more feisty than usual the last few weeks. It seems to have culminated today. He started the day by hitting, scratching, and then attempting to throw a chair at his Sunday School teacher because he was told he had to stay in his class. Next, he kicked a little girl at church. Finally, he hit Jeremy when he told him they had to leave his cousins' house to come home. (That one was a really, really big mistake!) I asked him before bed how much more we were going to have to punish him before he started acting right. His answer, and I quote, "A lot!" I'm going to get called to the principal's office the first day of kindergarten! We have taken all of his monster trucks, his 3 favorite animals that he sleeps with, and have spanked him repeatedly. I really don't know what else to do at this point. I think we are taking his TV next, but that punishes us. I'm about ready to take all of his toys away and make him earn them back, but again, that punishes us. I may be bald by next week if this keeps up!
Sorry I don't have any pictures yet. Hopefully the budget will allow for a new camera sometime soon.
