How's Luke Doing?

That is a question we are frequently asked these days!



Well, in short, he is doing really great! The first week with him was a breeze. As I mentioned before, he cared just enough about his sister and then would be on his way playing.

Week 2 went a little differently (maybe he realized she wasn't going anywhere!). Luke was still very sweet to his sister, but he was beginning to act out a bit and had a couple of potty accidents. He would also lay on her playmat, pretend cry and ask us to pick him up.

So far this week has been better though. Luke is most definitely getting enough attention. It certainly helps to have Wally home with us and Luke has still been going to Punky's on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That ends this week when he will stay home with us for the next 3 weeks until Wally returns to school. Then he will be on a Monday and Wednesday schedule until I return to work. He loves going there and not once has he put up a fight about it.

Luke also had a first this week - he went to his first movie! While I was sad to not be there with him and Wally, I was sure to get a picture of him before he left.



You may be able to tell from his shirt what movie they went to - Cars 2! He has been REALLY into Cars lately. I think we have like 3 Lightning McQueen cars, Maters in all different sizes (small toy car, bubble maker for the bathtub, and a Mater golf game), Finn McMissile, etc.

Wally said Luke was awesome during the movie. He was a little antsy standing up and sitting down, but always staying in front of his seat. He also shouted out all of the cars names in the beginning! He was flying high when he got home (or maybe that was the popcorn, lemonade, and candy he had - which of course cost WAY more than the actual movie itself!).

So, again, Luke is doing really great. He is acting exactly as you would expect a 2 1/2 year old whose world changed to act. I feel like Wally and I are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing though in helping him transition.

(I want to say that everything seems so rosey and well here in the Zukowski house. And really it is, but I won't lie and tell you that I am not terrified about what will happen when Wally goes back to work and golf season starts and I am left alone a lot with 2 kids - yikes!)
