Luke is 5

Luke is a happy, energetic, smart kid who loves his brothers, playing outside, legos and anything super hero.  He is doing great in pre-K this year and is incredibly conscientious about his school work and the homework he gets on the weekends.  He is the one to remember it needs to be done and always asks me if I have it to bring on Monday morning.  He has made friends with his new classmates but still refers to his friends from his Arlington school as his best friends - Artimus, Colby, Lev and Efron.

He really has gotten into legos in the last few months and has an incredible attention span to put the models together.  Most evenings when he is sent up to bed, you can find him building in his room.  He also stopped wearing pull ups to bed a few months prior to his birthday, something that couldn't come soon enough. 

At his 5 year old check up he was 3ft 7 inches tall and weighed 40.1lbs.  Luke wants to do anything Hunter is doing and because of that is really good at most sports he tries.  We are holding back on signing him up for additional sports though. We tried a rec center soccer class in the fall, but it was just skills training with no competitive games and he didn't enjoy that, he wants to play games just like Hunter.

He is really close to reading, is able to spell most 3 letter words and really loves math.  He can do pretty complex addition and subtraction in his head (15+3-6) and loves to be quizzed while we are driving or at the dinner table. 

Luke is really looking forward to our summer vacation, where we get to see all our McKay relatives and starting kindergarten in the fall.
