3 Year Old Stats!

As I look back over the last three years, I cannot believe how much Lucas has changed. He was my little peanut. My little baby who had to be fed using a syringe. You would never guess that now. His nickname is Bubba. 

I am so in love with this little man. It is totally true what they say about boys and their mothers. He is truly a "Mama's Boy!" There is now way to describe the true love that Matt & I have for him. Lucas made us a family. 

Every day I just can't help but smile at him. He has a great personality. Even in the moments when he thinks he is too independent to listen to anyone. Trust me, he knows how to push buttons and be very dangerous, but he is the most loving boy in the world. He gives the best hugs and kisses. L U C A S, Lucas, Lucas is the best. That is a song we made up to help him learn to spell his name. It totally rings true. He is just simply the best!

Top 10 Things Lucas Does that Amaze Us!

1. He is now a preschooler! Crazy.

2. Lucas knows all of his letters, their sounds and about 30 sight words. Amazing! According to his preschool teacher he is off the charts academically. This makes his teacher Mommy very happy.

3. Of course he is completely into any sport. You name it, he plays it. This makes his sport fanatic Daddy very happy. The kid lives for sports. I think we have only missed two football games this season and he is counting down the days until the first basketball game.

4. He is our little coach. If you aren't holding the golf club correctly, he will tell you what to do. Lucas loves to go to basketball practice with Matt and tell the boys what to do. When they are on the track conditioning, he is the one who says, "On your marks, get set, go!" I love how the Big Boys interact with him. They give him fist pumps, high fives... He is the little coach.

5. That he is very independent. "Lukee do all by myself." Good times.

6. He wears big boy underwear and uses the potty like a champ... most of the time. He is 3 and sometimes it is hard to stop playing to "pause for the cause."

7. Lucas has made friends at school. This was the purpose of starting preschool. Making friends and learning to share with others. His best friend is Christian. He talks about him every day.

8. He is a great Big Brother. Most of the time. Lucas isn't too sure about Macie now that she is crawling and getting into his toys. But he does give her kisses and loves to make her laugh. Then they get into giggling fits. It is the best sound in the world!
