BammBamm

We may just have to be the Flintstones this Halloween
Lukas is full-on Bamm Bamm, what with his blond Dutch boy bob and
superpower strength that belies his age.
Like the cartoon toddler, Lukas often yells for the sheer joy of it while pounding the floor with drumsticks, hammers,dinosaurs,(yes all handy items).In the process he will either shake the room hes in or have us crack up at the contrast of it all. Whether it's rearranging furniture, or doing chin-ups at the monkey bars, they are all feats of Lukas Leon.
Lukas is also really into wearing Lunas old dinosaur/dragon costume and running around growling and roaring at us. And how could I forget to mention his ever penchant for night-time suckling in the most carnal way possible

Lukas- The Profile

What can i say about my little boy these days except I think I need to move his middle name Leon to first name status?
He does roar on a regular basis, you know.
I have no idea how it started, but every now and again, Lukas Leon is apt to belt out a Lion King roar at another toddler touching his things. This strategy works very well in fending off a few of his buddies- no wonder he keeps it up. Besides his feral proclivities, Lukas is confident, active, and sometimes called "she" by folks due to his long hair. He loves animals and making animal noises, especially those of sheep, cows, pigs, horses and cats. He repeats everything Luna does and wants all day long- except the neveverending desire to dive from the armrest into the couch. That's all him.
He is a fan of yogurt and saltines, and pizza. Exclusively.
He is talking up a storm and still wakes up in the middle of the night. Every night. Hence, the three am emails you may receive from me.

Kid art

It is so hard for me to part with Luna or Lukas' artwork. the scribbled scraps of paper or labored chorus of hearts sing of an overflowing creative energy
to lack the responsibilities of grown-ups
the nonsense of maturity and seriousness
it is no wonder hey are so happy speeding so much time channeling artistic expression
part of me saves so much because in my heart i know the days of multitude of drawings will grow dimmer and although their creative spirit will surely manifest itself in other ways, right now i'm just loving seeing it visually in front of me.
maybe it is only the doodles a mother could love, but i am their mother
damn it
;)

Bad grammar

I really can't bear to correct them when they make mistakes
I know Luna won't be saying I liked-ed this or I liked-ed that at thirty
and Lukas won't be saying I want casa neither
so for now it's just too damn cute to hear them mix it all-up
the waiters (meaning flight attendants) on the plane who needed to bring us earmuffs(meaning headsets)
maybe it is because i am such a linguistics lover that i love it so much
the made up vocabulary
the spanglish
the grammar
or lack thereof
walkin poetics.
