4 1/2

Lukas is 4 1/2 and growing so much. I am so proud of him b/c he has slept in his bed for 12 night straight! He doesn't get up in the middle of the night or come in my bed to sleep. He gets up to go potty, but doesn't wake me up. He'll just get up and go and get back in bed. This is monumental for us!!!!!!!!!! YAY Lukas! The bedtime fairy is practically out of rewards. (And we're still working on Max)... Lukas is way into TMNT and loves to fight like one. He is getting better with Max but at the same time is so bossy and totally freaks out if Max doesn't do just what he wants. He still hasn't mastered his impulses and hits or pushes Max all the time. He loves preschool and knows how to spell/write his name. He likes to write Max's name and daddy's name, too. He is learning his letters (identifying them and sounding them out) but is far from reading. He likes to play with friends and always wants someone to come over. For the most part he is well behaved, however I find that I'm a little bit controlling and have to have things a certain way so I get frustrated with the kids if it isn't going as planned. (I'm trying to relax. Really.) He is so smart and picks up quickly on things. He likes playing games, doing puzzles, coloring or playing ninjas. I can't belive he'll turn 5 this year.
