Ladies' Man

I'm glad that Luke has a good example in his father of how to treat a woman:).  He (Luke) will occasionally tell me, "You look pretty today." He'll tell Sissy that she is "so bootiful," or "the most bootiful girl in the whoooole world."  And while Luke never criticizes what I wear, he will offer his approval.  The other day, he watched in silence as I pulled my hair into a ponytail and then put one of those headband things in it.  After I was done, he declared decisively, "I like you like that."  Why, thank you, son.  I'm glad you approve:).

Also, at dinner time, he will serve up some high accolades if he enjoys the meal:  "MMMM!  This sure is some gooood dinner you made, Mama!"  Of course, if it is not up to par, he pronounces that it is, "Yuck!  Shoo-shoo!  P.U!"  Hmm, we are still working on that one:).  But I do appreciate the kind words when they are offered.  They remind me that he often hears his daddy thanking me for the meal.

Lastly, he has been very adamant lately that we "don't worry" (or as he says it, "don't wuh-wee").  "Don't wuh-wee, Mama, I can get my own water!"  I guess he doesn't realize that it is actually less worrisome for me to get him some water, but I still think his independence is sweet.  I took a picture a couple of days ago of him telling Anna not to worry:

They were looking out the window for their friends, Tyler and Canon.  Anna was very excited and bouncing up and down, and Luke apparently interpreted her excitement as anxiety.  He stroked her hair and said, "Don't wuh-wee, Sissy, they'll be here soon!"  So cute. 

Oh, and before I go, here are so pictures I took tonight of Luke and Anna being silly trying to put stickers on each other.  I love their brother-sister interaction:
