Big Luke is 12!!

This guy. My sweet, little boy who is definitely not little but still sweet as can be. Luke, you have such a tender heart. You are sensitive to everyone's feelings around you. You enjoy your time to just relax with no schedule. You still function at your best when you go to bed early. Lately, you've been putting yourself to bed just because you feel tired. We are working on all things in balance right now. Including having a balance of sweet things and screen time! You have a great sense of humor and keep us laughing all the time! You feel incredibly confident in who you are and what your talents are. You can talk with anyone with ease and confidence. You still don't like when we tell you no when you've set your mind to do something. You have tested your boundaries this year AND this stubbornness will serve you well when you are older! Your brother and sister look up to you so much and love you. You are a leader amongst your peers and friends and everyone around you loves being with you! Luke, we love you so very much. Happy, happy birthday kiddo!! Keep making good choices and the world is yours.
