A Day in the Life of Luke-Xavier

January 17, 2008    

It was a challenging day with Luke-Xavier. He was constantly on the move and into things. It made me realize that, not only is he almost 2, but it looks like being 2 is going to be a challenge!
Here’s a glimpse into his day;

Chocolate pudding was eaten and worn at snack time

At nap time, we had to put up 2 gates because he climbs over 1. However, we learned that you can’t leave a space in between them

After nap I found out that he can strip himself down. Yep, diaper too! But those pictures weren’t ok for the internet (but watch out baby book!)

Once I redressed him (in a onesie, ’cause he hasn’t figured those out yet!), he cleared out one of the kitchen cupboards and made a new place to play (or sleep. We could use another bedroom. Maybe I should start looking at the kitchen! )

He then climbed into Tristan’s bath, fully-dressed and had to be stripped down. But he didn’t mind, since he didn’t want clothes on anyway.

Then he became a very self-sufficient little guy and found a water-source when he was thirsty

That’s Clay’s Camelback that he’s drinking from. Why didn’t I think of that sooner?! Smart kiddo.

We ended the day with dumping a pencil-sharpener on the living room rug.

Then he found his baby doll and acted sweet as could be and gave it hugs

All his shenanigans paid off in the end. When I put him to bed, he didn’t put up a fight AND he slept through the night!

We’ll see what he’s got in store for me today :-)

Have a great day~

My legs started to hurt just reading about your day with just Luke-Xavier. He keeps you on your toes, for sure. Don’t you wish sometimes that he wasn’t SO CUTE <:) ? I also think that he is beginning to look a lot like Maddi. You have yourself a GOOD day. Love to all.

He’s just doing his job I guess. I wish I could be there through all of it, he’s so cute and getting big too fast. I guess I’ll need to visit again soon.

Love you all. Have a beautiful day.
