Six

Dear Luke,

Today you are six.

You are charming and smart and you ask the best questions.
You want to know everything.
Every.  Thing.

You are sweet and tender and you get weepy when you're tired.  
You are task-oriented, determined and you drive me crazy with your persistence sometimes :) 


You love building.... Legos, Minecraft and the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom at school.
You have a total engineering mind and always have to know the "why and how" behind processes and functions. 

You are silly and goofy and you make the best face when you're dancing and playing air guitar.
You haven't lost your "giggle" and I can guarantee that I get to hear it if I tickle you on your lower back.

We joke that you're going to be a lawyer one day because you are constantly negotiating and if there's a loop hole you'll find it.  You are logical and rational and your number sense is CRAZY.

You are joyful and caring and you squeeze my hand three times (for I Love You) every day before you walk down the deck to your class.

You only want to wear sweat pants and other "comfies" like pajamas... but I think you come by that naturally.


All of a sudden you have "big boy feet", you can get yourself ready for bed and you can reach the tap to turn on the kitchen sink.

From the moment I found out about you life changed completely.
My focus changed and I saw you in everything that I did.

I love you to the moon, to mars, to Maine and back.  Times infinity.

Forever, for always...

... and no matter what. 

Love, Mommy
