OH LUKEY!

Dear Luke,

Now that you are a kindergartner you are getting more adventuress!  Here are some examples of what I mean.

The other day you were told you had to a raw vegetable with your pizza.  You were given the choice of cauliflower or cucumber, you chose cucumber, it was two whole slices,  you thought you might die.  You gingerly ate the first slice along with your pizza.  When it came time for the second slice you decided you just could not do it.  Which put me in a tough position.  You see your brothers ate their choices quickly and then finished their pizza.  It would just not be fair for me to let you off the hook.  You said, but mom its disgusting.  I insisted.  So Dad offered you dipping sauce... again a challenge because you are my kid who doesn't like to dip, NOT ketchup, NOT ranch, and definitely NOT barbeque sauce.  So you chose syrup....yep maple syrup.  That last slice was gone in no time flat!  All I could think was I am glad its done, but man that is "disgusting".

You also have earned yourself two REBEL REWARDS so far this year.  Those are tickets for being caught doing something good.  Good Job LUKE!  But you also earned yourself a green slip.  You called me promptly when you got home to explain that you had not been listening at rest time and that you got in trouble with the teacher, you then proceeded to inform me "But its okay Mom because I am so over it"  IF only it were that easy buddy.  When I wouldn't let you play outside with your best friend Brevin later in the day you repeatedly shouted..."BUT MOM I AM OVER IT"

You recently announced that you wanted to be a police officer.  Dad and I asked you to maybe choose a profession that was a little safer.  Afterall you are our baby!  You shouted "ok then I will be a racecar driver!"  LOL

Recently we had a situation where we had to choose whether or not to cheer for the Bison or the Gophers...every Sioux fan's nightmare.  When I explained that it made me a little sick to my stomach to choose between them and asked you who you would be cheering for you said "I don't know mom I am too obnoxious"  I later realized that you have a little trouble with the word nauseous and it often sounds like obnoxious :)  Never a dull moment bud!

Here's looking forward to more funny moments with you.

Love you!
MOM :)
