Hard to believe he’s five already!

He is so silly. He and Adam are currently all about “potty” humor – anything to do with the word “butt” is hilarious to them both. I’m trying to curtail it, but fear it’s a losing battle.

He is still a super cuddly kid. He has what he calls his “Snuggle Meter” and when it gets to zero, it needs to be recharged. This happens a lot at bedtime, but also at other random times. I’m a big fan of the Snuggle Meter.

Another of my favorite “Luke-isms” is when he says that something, “Scared the pajamas” out of him. Oh, and when he calls going barefoot “wearing toes”.

He is so active. He’s constantly in motion and can be very clumsy (check out the bruises on those legs). He’s really good at gymnastics though and does a great job following directions. He’ll be ready to move into Adam’s class this fall.

He’s still obsessed with Star Wars. He’ll talk about it to anyone that will listen and told me the other day that he wants to be a Jedi when he grows up. He has recently gotten into the Star Wars Angry Birds game and insisted that be on his birthday cake this year (which was chocolate with chocolate frosting, and delicious).

But above all, he is so sweet. He really cares about other people’s feelings and while he might pick on his little sister or annoy his older brother, he’s the first one to jump to their defense and give them hugs when they are sad.

While I don’t want him to grow up too fast, I really think he’s going to love kindergarten and can’t wait to see what this next year has in store for him.
