Luke is 6 Years Old

Luke you are another year older and another year wiser.  You continue to amaze us daily with how much you have grown.

 
You are still our most sensitive child, always very concerned with others feelings.  You hate to say good byes.  We are still working on controlling our emotions and trying not to get yourself worked up.

You are very outgoing and love to meet new people.  You will make a new friend in any situation.  You love to play with others and are always making plans to get together with someone.  I love listening to your conversations with others.  You give people your full attention and want to know every detail.  I love the way your mind works and how you piece things together.

As a brother you take control.  Both Lawson and Laney look to you for guidance in needing help or what to play.  They just love to be with you.  We have started to hear you "teach" them so many lessons that you have heard from us.  You are very helpful though and always willing to do what we ask.  You are very excited about your new baby sister coming soon.  You have been counting down the baby list until your sister is next.  We are getting very close to that.  I love watching the three of you together and get excited to see you with your new baby sister as well.  You have been preparing for her arrival and telling me all the things you are going to help with and do for her.

Your interests are still very similar to what they have been.  You love dinosaurs and animals still.  This is probably why you want to be a zoo keeper when you grow up.  You have gotten very into crafts, coloring, or project activities more recently.  You do things by the book though.  You like legos, but prefer to have the directions to put them together.  When you color you like it to be done how the picture looks.

We have thrown you into a little bit of a tornado this year with the moving and changes happening.  You are probably the only one that will remember it all.  You have handled it very well though and take it all in stride.  You just like to ask questions and know the plans and what is happening next.  You are excited for kindergarten to start up next month and can't wait for all that will come with school.  We are so proud of the little man you are becoming and thank God for you everyday.

Happy 6th Birthday Luke!!
