Lucas is such an amazing boy. He is so cute, funny, smart, and has such a sweet spirit about him. Most of the time he is this wild, crazy and energetic little boy(or as nursery leaders have nic-named him,"Tazmanian Devil"), but he also has a very sweet and sensitive side to him. He is always aware of the emotions of others around him. He can always sense when someone is feeling sad. There have been several times when I have been having a hard dad, and am silently crying by my self and Luke is in another room playing. He just suddenly stops what he is doing, comes and finds me, looks very concerned at me and asks me if I am ok. He then reaches for me and says SQUEEEEZE! We hug and then he puts a hand on each side of my face, kisses me and tells me he loves me so much. Of course then I really cry, and he just hugs me.
He is such a good big brother to Shelby. Whenever she is crying or upset at all, he makes sure I am aware and that I fix it right away. If Shelby gets hurt, he immediately drops to the floor and kisses her feet. Kinda weird, I know, but it is really cute. I am pretty sure it is because he refuses to kiss her on the lips. He can't stand her slobbery baby kisses. Why he chooses to kiss her feet instead though I don't know. Maybe it is because her feet are the part farthest from her mouth and feels that is the safest place to kiss her.
He got to spend a lot of time with his Dad over the past 2 weeks and he loved it. I was a little worried about how he would react to Kevin after him being gone for so long, but he acted a if he had never left. As soon as he saw Kevin walking towards the car at the airport, he screamed "Mom, there's Dad!!!!" They were pretty much inseparable from then on. We had a joint Birthday Party for Lucas and Kevin while Kev was here. There b-days are on the 5th and 6th of January. If Luke had been born about 45 minutes later, they would have the same birthday. But I think it is good that they each have their own day. Well, I guess Lucas does share with Joel, but that is cool.
Ok, so it turned out to be way more than just a few words about my favorite boy, I hope you don't mind. I am just so very grateful to have him in my life. Even the wild side of him. He really is a lot of fun. And the sweet side of him has helped me through a lot. I love you, Lucas Benjamin Weaver
