My lil' speller!

When I tuck Luke into bed, I always draw the letters of I love and then L U K E on Luke's face. Tonight I asked Luke to spell his name and he did! Then he spelled mom and dad all by himself! Smart little guy!

Then, filing this under I just don't want to forget, Luke usually pops out of bed to "talk to about the bear", or to sing all the really really cool trains, but when he comes out he always takes all his stuffed animals with him. Arms full. 

Cute things Luke says

Charles and Luke were playing at the park.

Charles: Luke, do you hear the birds singing?

Luke: Yes, daddy.

Charles: They're singing for you because they love you as much as I do.

A day or so later, Charles jogging with Luke in the stroller.

Luke: Daddy, do you hear the birds singing? They're singing for you because they love you too.
