9 Days Already?!

Boy oh boy, I'm a bad mommy for sure! I can't believe it's been 9 days since my last post. Lucas had a friend come over the other night. Mason Hendricks is a few months younger but is built like his football player daddy! It was a good experience for Lucas to have to share his toys and have another boy in the house sucking up attention. Lucas and Mason did great and the best part was singing songs...they were rock stars for sure!
Here Mason is jammin' to some wonderful nursery rhyme song.
Here's Lucas sitting one out...it's tough being a rock star! We sure were glad Mason came to play. We discovered that he LOVES trains so the train book was a huge hit. For mommy...it was an eye opener to life with two kids. It felt crazy at times when they each went their separate ways. Good thing Daddy was here to help. :) Mason's a good boy for sure.
So, Mommy thought it would be great to let Lucas play with some homemade yellow play dough. We tried sitting in the high chair but the rolling pin was too long and didn't work. I moved him into the living room expecting that my wonderful two year old would keep all the play dough on the table. I was in the kitchen and turned around to see Lucas stomping around the living room like a big giant. It took me a few minutes to realize that he places to big ball of play dough on his shoes and was making yellow foot prints all over the carpet. My heart sank...I just love when more chores are created in an instant. Luckily, my Shaklee cleaning supplies came to use and we were able to get out all the play dough without much work. He was very proud of his work! He also loved helping me clean it up...not sure what he learned from this experience but Mommy learned a lot!!
"SMILOLL" (SMILE) Lucas says when the camera comes out so we get a lot of funny faces from him. Grandma and Grandpa Jakulewicz came through town last week on their way to New Mexico. It was so nice to see them and visit over dinner. Lucas even had his "Grandpa J Shirt" on so they looked great together. Grandma was hiding from the camera so we missed getting her on the blog this time around. Watch out Grandma J...we'll get you next time!

At dinner we had a brownie sundae dessert which of course was the best part for Lucas and Daddy. Lucas somehow managed to not eat very much dinner but still end up completely in control of the sundae spoon. One bite for Daddy....Two or Three bites for Lucas...One little bite for Mommy (sometimes)...he was a big tease and say, "here's Mommy's bite"...show me the bite and eat it in front of me. When I asked him "what about Mommy's bite? " He said, "It's in my belly!" Too much fun!

I've been pretty impressed by Lucas these days. He is speaking in full sentences and really works on pronouncing words correctly. He has also been talking about things he has seen or done in the past at Grandma & Grandpa Anderson's house during Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa J's house, Steven and Ellen's house, Kate and Marks visits....and relating them to things we do on a daily basis. "Mommy, do you remember at Grandma A's house when I got my bike from Santa Claus?" "Lucas' house doesn't have a chimney for Santa." Just little things like that. It really makes me realize how much he remembers and how he is learning everyday.

Mike was singing a silly song about some kind of food in his "Tummy Tummy Tummy" and Lucas said, "No Daddy, it's in your Belly Belly Belly!" If only we could capture all these moments on camera?! His learning amazes me every day!
