Growing Up Sassy!

Luke's kindergarden year is almost at a close. I am encouraged by how well he is doing. He knows all of his shapes, colors, letters (big and small) and just about has all their sounds down too! He can write his FULL name - which his last name is a long one so it makes me greatful that his first name is Luke and some long drawn out affair....

He is a disobedient thing - and for those of you who read this and say awww... he just must not understand, yes we made that mistake too... interestingly enough if you say, "Obey or I will take your game away" (Leapster...LOVES IT) suddenly he repeats what I asked him to do and hurries off to do what I asked.

His siblings have taught him things like, "I am gonna give you a knuckle sandwich!" or "I am gonna beat your butt!" before a romp on the floor or wrestling match. He now says it ALL THE TIME... clearly tact and timing are much harder to teach.... His favorite times to say these phrases are on the way to the time out chair or after being told that "No, 2 cookies is enough".

He has joined the soccer team and LOVES IT! He wants everyday to be Saturday. His skill matches most of the other kids on the team... he often kicks the ball towards the other teams goal and last week he did a big WOO HOO when the other team scored and went up to their coach and slapped him a big Hi Five... I admit I did look around and wonder out loud.. "Hmm..whose child is that?" jk

I am looking forward to his summer break, which is short b/c he attends summer school, but not having to be out to the bus so early and rush the kids off to their day is a welcome thing for me. I like it when all the chicks are in the henhouse.

Until then...
