1. I am such a sweet boy and would never want to hurt anyone's feelings. I always try to share and include everyone. I am in touch with my emotions and cry every single day.. I don't cry over getting hurt (physically) because I am tough in that respect, but I always cry because my feelings get hurt.

2. I have the largest bladder of any 5 year old out there. I go to the bathroom about twice a day. I can hold it for hours and hours and have never had an accident or peed the bed. I wait until the LAST possible minute to go to the bathroom, sometimes until I am in physical pain... (where I usually end up crying.)

3. I am really, really slow at everything I do. I walk slow, talk slow, get my clothes on in slow motion, and I am always the last one to get out of the car.

4. I am a night owl and LOVE to sleep in-- just like my dad. If no one disturbs me, I will sleep until lunch time.

5. I can NEVER remember where my shoes are. I don't really like to wear them, so I often take them off in the car. When it's time to go somewhere, I am the last one out the door because I can't find my shoes.. and because I am slow.

6. I am very attached to my family. I don't like to talk about growing up because that means that I will have to leave home. I cry when we talk about serving missions and getting married.. But sleeping over at a friends house or going somewhere without my parents isn't a problem-- as long as I know they will be back soon.

7. I have a creative and artistic imagination. I love art projects and I have great handwriting. I'm witty and I chose my words wisely. Sometimes I twist them around to make a good joke. I also stretch the truth because I am so creative.. I think that my made up stories are much better than what actually happened. When I am caught in a lie, I confess by saying, "I was only kidding about that" or "I was just joking". Uh-huh.

8. I have super hearing powers. Everything is too loud for me and (thankfully) I am over the stage when I cry if things hurt my ears. I cover my ears for lots of different reasons-- when the vacuum is running, when someone flushes a toilet, when a train comes, when a car honks. I used to scream as a baby when someone raised their voice too loud. I hardly ever shout and my mom is always telling me to talk louder so she can hear what I am saying.

9. I am a beat-boxer at heart. I am ALWAYS making noises (while I am eating, while driving in the car, while everyone else is trying to go to sleep, etc.) I love patterns and rhythms and my mom feels guilty every day for not putting me into some kind of music lessons. I could probably be a professional drummer some day, if only my ears could handle the noise!

10. I am non-competitive. I don't care if I win or have something better than someone else. It's all about the how I play the game (meaning-- was I nice to everyone and was everyone nice to me?) rather than if I win or not. I have a good time when my feelings don't get hurt. My mom sometimes teases me that I am her little girl..

This video is on our Home Video page, but I thought I would post it here because it's our favorite Luke video. He is a cute kid, but he was a SCRUMPTIOUS 2 year old. He was 2 years and four months old in this video (Zack's age) and I just want to eat him up. So sorry it's sideways... Gotta love his little voice saying, "Stand by the Dra-gon?" Enjoy!
