Ben and I have started walking on the new Greenway trail that is down the road in the evenings. One day, we joined Shawn and Dylan for a walk and also ran into Shawn's sister Lisa. Lisa's little boy Aidan fascinates Lucas and always makes him laugh. He even allowed Lucas to ride on his bike for a few minutes. Lucas thought he was hot stuff and loved every minute on the bike!We now have absolute proof that Lucas is Ben's child...he loves playing in wires! We bought a new entertainment center and needed to re-paint the wall so Ben took all of the wires out to put them in the new tv stand, but Lucas found them first and got busy organizing them his way!
Lucas is obsessed with cars and motorcycles so we got really excited when we arrived at GiGi's house one day and her neighbor, Mr. Phil, was about to take a motorcycle ride. He was so kind and allowed Lucas to sit on the motorcycle; but unfortunately, Lucas freaked out and only wanted to look at it from a distance and while someone was holding him. I feel a lot better now knowing that Lucas is scared of a dangerous toy!
Daddy and Lucas went to the store while I got to cook in peace and quiet! When they came back, Lucas had a cookie monster treat that he devoured after his dinner!
Gymboree the other day was even better when after class, we went to Taco Mac with Olivia and Mrs. Sam. Olivia got to sit in a booster seat for the first time while Lucas grossed everyone out by dipping his Oreo in cheese dip. The more we all laughed at him, the faster he dipped! After lunch, Olivia made it clear that she was not leaving until she got to play on the "beep-beep" which is the arcade car game. Both kids had a blast playing and finished the lunch date with a group potty event!
Since MiMi was out of town visiting her mom in Arizona, Pop's came over and hung out with us for awhile. We all went to CiCi's for lunch and then Lucas got to ride back to our house in Pop's truck. When we got home, Lucas took Pop's outside to run around and play on the slide.
Later that night, we headed over to my parent's house to see Uncle Taylor and his best friend Stephen who was in town for the night. Stephen has had some health problems that scared us all so we couldn't wait to see him and give him a big hug! We hung around for a while at the house and admired my parent's new landscaping and then headed out to dinner. Stephen's dad, Mr. Jim, shocked Lucas at dinner when he handed Lucas his phone and let Lucas play with it. Obviously, Lucas fell in love with him and sat next to him when he ate. We were even invited to go to Charleston and stay at their new house for a visit, which we cannot wait to plan!
This weekend we also headed out to some garage sales to get outside play toys for Lucas. We found an adorable tricycle that had a parent handle to help steer. Lucas really likes to ring the little bell and ride on it so we took it with us to GiGi's house for dinner. We all took turns pushing him, but honestly, he is still happier just pushing it himself. I'm sure one day he will want to ride around on something, but for now, he just prefers to push!
It was also a bittersweet day for Uncle Taylor and Lucas because Uncle Taylor is selling his "big" truck and it will be the last time that Lucas sees it. Lucas took the opportunity to go for a ride around the neighborhood in Daddy's lap and "drive" it one last time.
On a side note, Lucas has definitely mastered the concept of what a Jeep, Tahoe, and Hummer are. His new discovery is the Honda and questions me daily about if the car he just saw is is Honda or not. Lucas is definitely a boy with the love of cars! At night, he requests either a car or a tool (mostly the screwdriver) to be in bed with him.

My little jokester kept me entertained in the car the other day while we were waiting on Daddy to fill up the propane tank. He has learned how to say "sweetheart" and likes to joke around about his mommy and Olivia being his sweetheart! His sense of humor makes Ben and I laugh out loud at night reminiscing of what he has said or done during the day.
