PARENTAL ADVISORY WARNING!!!!!!!



Amazing... Luke and I just got home. I go to take my sweatshirt into the bedroom while Luke pays visit to Rocky. We are in transition from my mother in laws house to ours which is about 10-15 minutes. As the potty training continues I know I must take Luke into the bathroom as soon as possible. I walk back into the kitchen to find our dog Rocky licking his lips with what appeared as chocolate. Luke is just standing there watching Rocky laughing. I ask him, did Rocky poop!? Luke replies "yeah" in quiet little whisper. I couldn't believe it. Rocky pooped on the floor and was trying to get rid of the evidence. So I'm letting Rocky know that that wasn't a good idea in the most loving way I could -- sarcastic---. Then I tell Luke to go into the living room while I clean up. When I see him walk by I noticed his nice white shoes were stained with that chocolate. Then another chunk of chocolate by the fridge. I look at Luke and tell him to stop. He turns to me with the face, "yeah daddy?" "Did you poop on the floor?" He replies, "Y-e-a-h." He continues, "I pooped my pants. On the carpet. Rocky ate it. I pooped on the floor and Rocky ate it." My first thought was he just said a huge amount of words in one sentence. All I can say is that I wish he didn't have so much to drink. That was a mess. Oh what a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I would like to order...

As the family was enjoying a relaxing moment on the floor of our living room the topic of Luke having a couple brothers or sisters sprang up. When asking Luke if he would like a couple new buddies around he only replied, "Momma get more babies. Momma get more babies. Go get them momma." Well I have run out to get many things for the family; food, tools, etc... In all of our late night runs I don't recall seeing babies as an option to buy. We could look on eBay I'm sure. I mean I'd love to go out and bring more babies home, but I think that is frowned upon in today's society. So I guess we'll have to find another way...

Number 1 or Number 2

This weekend my beautiful wife and I have been trying to potty train Lukas. We have had three solid days of using the toilet. Of course there have been many accidents, but he is making progress. Every ten minutes or so after he has drank something we take him in there. One time, not but 2 minutes after we left the bathroom without going I hear Luke in his bedroom, "Uh oh, I pooped on my leg." What? Well when I got in there I was then told, "I peed in my pants daddy." After the initial shock of the poop comment I was somewhat relieved to see the pee on the leg instead of the poop. Well they always say admitting the problem is the first step. We'll keep working on it.

Give me Five

Lukas and Noah sitting in the back seat of my car, on the way to Noah's Preschool...

Lukas: Give me Five (holds hand up to Noah)
Noah hits Lukas' hand, giving him "five".

Lukas: Yeeeaaahhhh! Goooooood Joooooooobb...
Lukas was really into giving Noah some recognition for completing the task.

Lukas: Give me taters (holding his fist out)
Noah makes a fist and hits it up against Lukas' fist, giving him "taters".

Lukas: Yeeeaaahhhh! Gooooood Jooooooooobb....

Lukas did this about 5 times. :)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

As I express my love for my wife through hugs and kisses I didn't notice that look was taking notes. He will walk up to LeeAnn and hug her. We'll be lying in bed and he'll lean over and put his head on her and simply "hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" melting her heart. For a while I just thought he was over sensitive to physical touch like his old man. But over and over again he would continue to hand out these "hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm" moments to her. We wondered where he learned this. Then one day on the couch as I was on my knees loving on LeeAnn Luke walks up to me and pushes me away. Then he started to do exactly what I was doing. More and more this would happen. It is very very adorable. We'll see how long this goes on. I guess if I keep doing it, maybe he will too. "Hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."

The Sleeper

"Sleeper Daddy? I go to sleep." As I apply a fake sleeper on Luke (don't worry its basically just a hug from behind. As soon as I put my arms around him he starts to lay down) Luke closes his eyes and lays perfectly still on the floor before me. He will even make the fake sleeping noises. I will get up and just mumble about anything when he will open his eyes to reveal that "I'm not done yet" with a simple glance. Over and over again this kid will plead with me to play sleeper with him. Then by the end I want to sleep from exhaustion. *smile*

Playing Ball

Tonight Lukas brought out a ball game that resembled bowling except with stuffed creatures for the pins. I was playing guitar and watching him set each one up. A couple times one would fall over. "Stay there" he would say to it. Then he threw the ball and knocked a couple over. I stopped to have him give me five. Then he says, "Daddy's turn. I set them up for daddy. Throw it at this one daddy." I threw it at the one he appointed to be knocked over. "There you go daddy. Give me five." Then he came over and held his hand out to receive the "five". We played this game for a little while longer and Luke was always very encouraging to my missed throws. Thanks son.

Tow Mater

Luke loves to watch CARS the movie. Recently it has just been about the extra Ghost Light featurette. Luke got all of his cars out of the basket and pulled only the ones from this small clip. He aligned them and I watched him re-enact the scene. He gave a great big "IT"S THE GHOST LIGHT!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" when Mater delievered his line and drove Mater off. It was great to watch. I got him to do it again so I could get some pics. Enjoy!!

I'll just have ONE

Luke was told once again that he couldn't have some candy and he tried to deal me. " I'll just have ONE daddy. I'll just have one." What are you suppose to do with a comment like that?

Mommy versus Daddy

Here we are 2 year into Lukas' life and the games have begun. Lukas has recently been trying to get many sweets into his body; cookies, m&m's, extra chocolate milk, etc... He has been working up a strategy now the last couple weeks and LeeAnn and I caught on the other night. Luke was in the computer room with LeeAnn when I heard him ask her for "Santa's cookie". (Santa's cookie is in reference to what we called the cookies LeeAnn left out for Santa this year) Well LeeAnn told him that it was too late in the evening for this treat and left it at that. Luke, with his mind turning made the mistake of saying out loud, " I go ask Daddy." As i waited for him to approach me I held my laughter in and just kept doing what I was doing. He says, "Santa's cookie daddy. Please." I then replied to him with a question, " What did mommy say?" Luke was hesitant and looked away for a moment before giving me an answer... " Mommy said no santa's cookie." He didn't get upset but just shook his head no and went away. Luckily I heard his little plan because I find it hard to turn down that little cute face!!!

I go poop

Yes my son can tell us when he has gone poop. " I go poop" is something he is regularly saying now. It is time we get him potty trained. After he tells me that he has indeed gone poop, I usually say " ah man." Well after I got home from work today he comes in to the bedroom where I was trying to just relax when he says, " Daddy, I go poop. Ah man!" I was thinking the same thing.
"Ah man."

WHAT!!!!! NO FRIES?

I can't believe that my son turned down McDonald's fries today. This is the one guarantee that we have when he won't eat anything else. I got them out and let him smell them. "You want a french fry buddy?" "No." "You don't want a french fry?" "No." "WHAT?" He looks at me annoyed and says, "Nooo thank you." Wow. At least he said no "thank you." 99 out of a 100 times he takes the fry, today is the ONE TIME he didn't.

Yeah

This blog is for my wife. Lukas is in a phase right now that when you ask him a question and he is for it he will respond with the cutest "yeah" ever known to human. He stretches it out into almost a whisper and it just melts your heart. This is very cute to hear. "It brings tears to my eyes."

Room go bye-bye

My beautiful wife and I are making a few changes around our house. One of those changes was to switch our computer room with Luke's so he could have more space. During the transition things went everywhere. Luke was playing in the living room when he entered his old establishment and said, "room all gone." Later he came into his new room, which was still in transition and looked around before commenting, "A mess, all over the place. A mess." He is very keen on details you see. Now since he knows what a mess is he can start cleaning it up by himself? Well see.

My Buddy

You have to love the way children pick up on the smallest things in life. At times my wife and I are trying to get Luke to come to us by say, "Come here buddy" in the nicest voice possible. Well the tables turned I noticed the other day. Rocky, Luke's best friend the Boston terrier, was keeping his distance from Luke. Luke was trying to entice Rocky to come and play in the room with him. "Rocky, Rocky. Come here buddy (as he pats his pants) Come here Buddy." Once Rocky did come Luke gave him a swipe on the backside in which Rocky took off. Luke went back to work, "Come here buddy. Come here buddy." Swipe!!!
