Luke and Uno

For those that don't already know, to make a long story short, when we took the kids back to their mom's house on Sunday, Lucas wanted to stay with his dad. So, we've had him since last Friday night. He's the middle child, so sometimes his thunder gets stolen by the other two. Shawn and Jasmine are both very outgoing. I always thought Luke was really shy. That's until the past few days where it's been just him. A few observations...

-He asks so many more questions that Jas and Shawn combined.
-He's not shy...
-He's hilarious, just like his dad.
-He LOVES grandma's fried chicken.
-He's stuck on me so much more when it's just him.
-He likes Guitar Hero.
-If he's awake, but no one else in the room is, he will actually just lie there until somebody else wakes up...instead of getting up and playing like he normally would.

There's probably more, but those are just a few things I have learned about him. If anyone read my blog yesterday, Luke and I went to the pool as I had mentioned. This was the first time we went just by ourselves. We went to the kiddie pool and it was completely empty. Finally, a little girl would come over for five minutes, then leave for ten, then come back for a few. He was getting bored because there weren't any kids to play with...and I guess I wasn't cool enough. lol So I took him over to the big pool. He did pretty well...he stayed hanging on the sides quite a bit. When I'd take him out further, he'd be okay for a few minutes and then he'd say, "Cole, I want to go back to the edge again." lol We left about 3:00 and came back for an ice cream cone. He's been wanting an ice cream cone for the past week...so we went to the store this morning after we went to the gas station for Jason to get some ice cream and cones. We each had two ice cream cones, then I told Luke it was bath time. I'm almost always the one who gives the baths, but he asked his dad to give him one this time. A few minutes later, Jason walks in the living room and says, "Cole...he wants you to do his hair." So I went in there to help him with his hair and he says, "Cole, I wanna smell like dad..." So I asked Jason what he uses. His answer was, "Whatever I grab. Whatever that black bottle is." lol So, he used the same shampoo/conditioner that dad uses. That made him happy. He wants to go back to the pool tomorrow. I told him we'll see.

Later on, I asked if we could play Uno. So Jason, Tim (cousin-sorta) and I played Uno. We count the points when we play, and whoever reaches 500 points first loses. It took us about two hours to finally finish. After quite a bit of back and forth, Jason ended up winning, then I came in second place, and Tim came in last. It was a lot of fun. Now it's late and I'm getting ready to go to bed pretty soon.

I love and miss you all. Thanks for reading.

Love,
Cole
