What does Luke like?

We have been asked by many folks....what does Luke like? Sometimes, it's because they may want to give him something. Sometimes, it's because they want to pray that he continues to enjoy those things, and to be encouraged by those things.

Since he has been house-bound for so long, we have had to find clever ways to keep him entertained and engaged mentally and physically. Here are some of the things Luke has found himself "liking".

1 - Playing football (with Daddy): wow, he plays dirty; first, he tackles me, then he kicks me in the gut; he doesn't know it yet, but we got him an eagles uniform to play in (even has a soft helmet)
2 - animated movies (like Toy story, incredibles)
3 - trains, trains, trains
4 - CARS, CARS, CARS
5 - my baby can read dvd
6 - books
7 - arts and crafts
8 - oh boy...here's one...play kitchen stuff...he saw daddy slaving away in the kitchen and thought it looked fun...we got him a play kitchen and he makes us laugh so much as he whips around it frying up things, microwaving things, etc...imaginary heat, of course :)
9 - praying, singing, reading the Bible
10 - running around outside (it is ok for him to be outside of the house)
11 - helping daddy with the laundry (don't laugh, he really helps!) :)
12 - dinosaurs and dragons
13- bath tub play
14 - eating edamame (he finds them tasty and fun)
15 - carrot cake
16 - green berry burst hawaiian punch
17 - broccoli and cheese
18 - chasing and bursting bubbles...picture him chasing down bubbles, giggling hysterically, and popping them
19 - playing car race with anyone he can find, including uncles, aunties, and grandparents
20 - thank God for nick jr. (he loves pretty much all nick jr.); while his counts were good, we took him to see "storytime" featuring several nick jr characters...he was in shock (so excited...he was mesmerized)

Well, that some of the things Luke continues to enjoy. We are thankful that these things have and continue to fill his heart with joy.
