As sad as I am that he is growing up, I’m excited for him too! It is so fun to watch and help him learn to read. It truly is amazing to watch someone learn to read and be so excited about it. It’s just as exciting as when he learned to walk and talk and ride a bike and all of the other firsts!
It’s also fun to watch his personality continue to
blossom. One of my favorite days of the
school year so far was when I got to read to his class. The actual reading part was fine, but seeing
him in the classroom setting & interacting with all of his new friends,
made this momma’s heart very happy. You
can’t help but worry when your child heads off to kindergarten. Will they be alone all day? Will anyone talk to them? Will they make new friends? I always worried that Luke would be the quiet
one in the classroom, but I was wrong!
He is super outgoing and is very well-liked in his
class. He enjoys school and is making friends and is loving learning!
Another thing about Luke that gives me a big huge puffy heart is seeing the big brother he has become. Believe me when I say we have moments when he is not a very nice big brother and those moments are sometimes on a daily basis, multiple times a day, but those other moments, which also happen on a daily basis are the best! I can honestly say that he and Paige are best friends. The way they use their imagination together is awesome. Luke is an amazing teacher to Paige! He is pretty good about sharing his toys and gadgets, and I truly believe he likes being in her company. She is the best playmate he has! I also love that he doesn’t mind sharing a room with her, in fact, I think he loves it! You can find him laying in bed with her at least a few times a week. And the giggles that come from that room are the best giggles you will ever hear! They are true partners in crime!

He is also a fabulous big brother to Ty. Luke gets the biggest squeals and smiles and
kicks out of him. And he is still amazed
when he makes Ty smile. I can’t wait to
see their relationship grow!
Luke is super creative. He is really into Legos right now and he amazes Wally and I everyday with the things he builds – no direction is necessary. It all comes right from him. He also enjoys watching other kids build things with Legos on You Tube – crazy! He is also into drawing and coloring and writing little stories. There isn’t a night that goes by that my kitchen table doesn’t look like an art studio. He is loving Star Wars right now and as always is a tv/movie junkie.
At 5, he still liked us to read to him and rub his back and
hold our hand and spend time with us. I
know those things can start to change as he becomes even more independent and
is influenced more by his school friends but this momma will adjust and
continue to rub his back and hold his hand as long as I can!
Having a December birthday can be hard with the holidays surrounding it, but I LOVE it! December has always been such a magical month for me and to have your first baby in this month makes it even more special. I’ll never forget the ride home from the hospital with Luke…I was riding in the back seat with him, we were listening to Christmas music and I just couldn’t stop crying (I know, I’m sure it was hormones), but life just felt different and so much better and bigger! I always think back to that day whenever I listen to Christmas music now. The last line of one of my favorite Christmas songs, “A Baby Changes Everything” is “My whole life has turned around. I was lost, but now I’m found. A baby changes everything.” This little boy has changed our lives in ways he will never understand until he is a parent himself. We couldn’t possibly love him anymore!
Happy 6th birthday to the little boy who will
always be my Christmas baby and the one who gave me the best title in the
world!
