Fun with the little man

Bedtime
I have been able to put Lucas to bed the past few nights. The last few weeks saw me busy with other things or too tired to do it so I have missed out. But oh how happy I get the time with him again. For all his running around, Lucas is still a cuddler. Every night before I put him in the crib, we cuddle in his rocking chair for a little bit. He is so sweet. Sometimes he points to his crib, other times I just put him in. He looks at me and says, "Mommy sit down." So I sit back down and sometimes we talk, sometimes he just holds his hand out through the slates and I hold it. When Marc puts him to bed, the talk is normally around what Lucas ate that day. But we don't always need to talk. One night when I thought Lucas wanted to just be quiet, he told me, "Mommy talk".

Playing with the sun
Last night Marc was going to work late so Lucas and I were on our own. We went to Target to get some things and were headed home about 7:15pm. We were driving west, right into the sun as it started to set. Lucas told me he sees the sun. I said, "Yes, the sun is in front of us." But as I crested one of the many hills on our way home, the sun disappeared behind some trees. Lucas was all concerned and asked me where it went. I told him it was playing hide and seek with him, but if he kept looking out the windows, he would see it again. Sure enough, we started down the hill again and he shouted, "I see it! I see it." The rest of the way home, that silly sun would hide on him. He was so excited to look for it. He told me he was going to tell his friends that he played hide and seek with the sun when he got to school.
