Lucas the protector

Lucas goes between annoyance with his brother and a protectiveness. A good example of this would be today when I was carrying groceries into the house I left the front door open (completely forgetting that Nick is mobile). Say it with me now "good mommy, goooood mooommmmy". Anyway, back to my point, Lucas saw Nick heading out the door and started calling "mommy heeelllp!" while he sat on Nick's back squishing him to the floor so that he couldn't move anywhere. Instead of getting mad or upset Nick seemed more determined to get out the front door than before and started reaching out for the threshold with his fingertips and trying to drag the both of them out the door.

Ha HA HAAA! It was so funny. Nick was in no danger of injury but Lucas sure thought so.

Here are pictures of Lucas after he put his shirt on for the first time - all by himself. Note: it is backward. He was so excited that he got his head through the "neck hole" without any assistance. So cute.




Here is Nick trying to get stuff off of the couch. He decided that flirting with me would be more successful at getting what he wanted. He was right. That kid has me wrapped around his finger. I mean, just look at that face.
