So many new things...

Luke is growing up so quickly.
Here's the cliff note version:

1. He frequently responds to my requests with, "Why momma?" in such a sincere sweet manner.
2. He decided he wanted to wear underwear today and flew around the house pausing occasionally to say, "No pee pees, go in the potty."
3. He tried to use the potty several times but nothing happened. If Emily was around he would pretend to pee pee using sounds while smiling. (He knows he's silly.) If she wasn't around he would let me know he was trying but nothing happened.
4. He LOVES Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
5. He recently decided it's fun to set up camp and ask to have a pile of laundry as a bed.
6. He enjoys talking on the phone and asks for a turn to chat. (He even answered the phone for me tonight upon my request.)
7. He now helps with regular activities including setting the table, throwing things away and doing the laundry.
8. He has an opinion about his clothes and what he wants to wear.
9. He prompts Emily to join us at the dinner table by saying, "Mi, time to eat. Come on Mi, time to eat!" (Yes, he's stilling calling her Mi.)
10. He learned how to say, "I love you mommy/daddy/too" and started adding a kiss afterwards.
11. He is getting better about putting his own shoes on and taking them off. He almost always sits on the rub by the door to take them off when he gets home.
12. He always shouts with delight when he sees the golden arches. (I truly don't know how it is that every child can assume they love this place when they don't see the ads on TV and they rarely visit. Oh well.)

I could keep going but I need to stop for now. Pictures to come...
