Luke, my awesome 3-year-old

Luke is this three- year- old I know, he is totally cool. He is utterly and completely in love with Incredible Hulk. I think this started when we noticed that most of the time he was a precious little boy with sparkling eyes and a huge smile, but then a burst of anger would just shoot out of him and in an instant that smile would turn into him head butting you as hard as he could, (he has a very hard head), or he would try to tackle and punch you. We began to call him Hulk around the house, I guess it stuck and turned into an obsession. The boy is very serious about it and there is no messing around or joking that maybe Jack or Thomas is Hulk instead, nope that results in one of those anger explosions, just to show us all that he is the one and only Hulk. Don't get the wrong idea he is super sweet, I mean kisses, hugs, snuggles, loving on you all the time. He adores his older brother and worries/helps out with the younger one. He has this natural charisma that people wish they could bottle and sell. If you doubt that some people are just born with it then you need to come meet Luke. Once when we were at the airport very late, past the time when the food shops are open, some of the custodial staff saw us walk by and they smiled, but then they saw Luke and before we knew it Luke was the proud owner of a bag of chips- stuff like this happens to him all the time.

He loves music. He sings Gotye, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rhianna, LMFAO, Fun, Katy Perry, PSY and Taylor Swift. When a good song comes on he begins to kick his feet. When watching a video he watches the dance moves intently and after a couple viewings he begins to try out the moves himself. He goes with me to aerobics and now songs on the radio are quickly declared to be aerobics songs or not.

He loves Jack. Jack loves Power Rangers so Luke loves Power Rangers. Luke also loves sharks, they are second behind Hulk, and when they do karate moves and call out their Power Rangers name Luke always says- Surging Shark.

He loves his giraffe bogie, he loves to color and draw, and has started drawing people with arms, legs, and faces, but what I thought was super funny is that he was very concerned that the people have ears. When I asked about the noses he had forgotten he said,' Oh, silly me.' He loves to play cars, wrestle, and have me read to him.

He had been told that 3-year-olds are big boys and he had also been told that big boys use the potty so on his birthday he told us he was a now an underwear boy and not a diaper boy. He meant it this time too. He gave his diapers to Thomas and won't even wear a diaper at night (for 3 out of 4 nights he has woken up dry).

3 is one of my favorite ages for kids. 3-year-olds are so cool. They are free, loving, totally themselves, give everything their all and are so confident even if they are wrong. They are awesome. I am definitely looking forward to hanging out with and getting to know my 3-year-old this year.
