This Kid

This kid:

• Will be five years old in two weeks! Sigh...
• Loves superheroes
• Eats yogurt like it's going out of style
• Racing and general competition is everything. "Mom, I beat you!" is a statement that happens at least five times a day.
• Desperately loves his family
• Asks for candy on the regular
• Plays with his Lego collection nonstop... prefers to build vehicles that have some type of warfare included.
• Wants to be a "good boy" and shows deep concern when he is under the impression he's somehow failed. This grieves Matt and I, though we are glad he's intuitively listening to his heart.
• Hide-and-seek... all the time
• Loves Katy Perry, Mumford, Veggie Tales, and "rock and roll!!"
• Calls Rascal Flatts "girl music"
• Could play at the playground all day, if allowed.
• Makes friends everywhere
• Falls down, gets up, continues running. If bleeding profusely, he will deny it in an effort to continue play.
• Blanket/couch forts are the preferred hide-out
• Still collects rocks/sticks/random outdoor things and asks to bring them in
• Helps with dishes, laundry and picking up
• Loves having his picture taken
• Surprises are the best form of entertainment... hiding, jumping out and yelling "surprise!"
• Reading. Constantly. Lucas' love of written word is just joyous for Matt and I.
• Upon seeing babies or a baby animal his reply is always: "Cuuuuuuute!"

Love this little critter!
