I Have Seen the Future...

Luke and Paul went paddle boarding on Sunday morning with Tanner and Mike Harden. I have seen the future - it's these 4 dudes and their boards. How exciting!

Halloween House

Luke really wanted to make a Halloween House. So we went to Michael's and bought this set.

As you can see, he was really into it...

Putting on candy stickers and ghosts...

Until he wasn't. I finished alone.

I think we did a great job. : )

2nd Birthday

Selma's Pizza Making Tour

Today we went on a tour at Selma's in downtown San Clemente. Luke and his friends had a tour of the kitchen (including the walk-in refrigerator - brrr!) then made their own pizzas. It was a fun time for everyone. Thanks Selma's for letting a bunch of 2 year olds take over!

First Day of Pre-Pre-School (Toddler Time)

Here are some photos from Luke's first day of class. He did great with only a minor meltdown over the police car ride-on toy. He loved circle time and came home singing "Ring Around the Rosy". Should be a fun activity for Wednesday mornings. Not sure about Luke, but mama needs a nap!

Singing

About three weeks ago Luke started spontaneously singing "Five Little Monkeys". He did the Dr part - "No More Monkeys" with the accompanying wag of his finger. Since then he's extended his repertoire to include portions of the "ABC's" and more of the actual "Five Little Monkeys" song. I'm trying to get him on video and will post it when I can. He's in love with watching himself on the video camera and doesn't quite understand how it works yet - he always comes over to the filming side to see what going on. : )

Favorite Books

I should have started this a long time ago, but I just thoughtof it. To the right >>> I've started a list of Luke's current favorite books. By "favorite" I mean the one he currently wakes up asking to read, needs read multiple times during the day and a few times before bed. He hasn't asked to bring a book to bed yet, but I'm sure it's coming. This boy loves books.
