Luke Being Cute and Funny

Luke: I need more aftewards.

Me: After what?
Luke: WORDS!

Me: We need to have some lunchy-lunch.  Am I right?
Luke: You're always right.

Me: You're one smart kid!

Luke and I put together this Lincoln Log house and when he wanted to play with it,
I grabbed a bunch of different figurines.  I think Buzz and Superman would like frontier life.

Pops gave Luke these little bug holders for Christmas and
Luke and Eliza decided to put them out in the front yard with
leaves and grass inside, hoping to trap some bugs.  Unfortunately
for them, we don't see a lot of bugs in Utah in the winter.

Breakfast.

When I needed to lie down for just a minute, Luke decided to snuggle in with me.
I didn't mind.

Luke, whispering: A killer whale!
Me: Where do you think it came from?
Luke: It's made of paper.

The other day when my neighbor needed me to help her with something,
she showed Luke where her children's books were and he sat down looking
at books the whole time we were there.  I didn't hear a peep out of him.

Except when I sat down and we looked at her (permanently arranged) Christmas
figures on a shelf and I asked him who the people were, and what the wise men
were bringing to the baby Jesus and Luke replied, "Gold, mirth, and franken."

"I'm testing all of them."

"I'm drawing A-T-A."

"This is all blood."

Reattaching the beads that fell of his school project.

"I need more paint, Mom.  I'm running out."

"Mom!  I'm a pillow!  Come lie down on me!"

"Close me in the box!"

This one doesn't qualify as cute or funny, but I'm including it here
anyway.  When I was vacuuming the other day, the vacuum suddenly stopped.
I immediately saw Luke by the outlet, looking sheepish.  He'd stuck this
quarter onto the prongs of the plug and the impact was strong enough to leave
indentations on both the quarter and the plug.  Luckily, the fuse tripped
right away and Luke wasn't hurt.

And I saved the best for last...

Luke is reading!  He's probably been able to read these simple Bob Books for a little while

but I finally sat down with him to see how he did a couple of weeks ago and he was great!  Hooray!
