Enthusiasm for Life

I don't update every often about Luke when he is doing well.  So I thought I would do a post about him and what he is learning.  First of all Luke is the funniest, sweetest, toughest little boy I know.  He never complains and is always happy. Luke says the funniest things all of the time.  He is very in love with me, he always tells me "mommy you are sexy on the outside and beautiful on the inside".  He loves to cuddle with my flabby fat on my arms that he calls "squishies"'. He loves school especially PE, music and singing.  He struggles with his fine motor skills because they are associated with eating (which he doesn't do much of).  So he receives OT and PT therapy at school.   He is behind on the writing and reading.  It is wonderful that he has his own nurse with him that can give him extra help with the subjects he struggles with.  She does an amazing job with him, we are so thankful for her help and support.  He still doesn't eat very much at all.  Sometimes he will have a bite of cheese, and likes to lick the seasoning off of hot and spicy chips.  And he recieves small amounts of formula in his G-tube.  He is still 100% TPN dependent and small for his age, and throws up on a regular basis.
The other day his nurse was working with him on his reading.  Luke was getting frustrated and said "I just wasn't born to read!".  She asked him up he wanted to be when he grows up and he said a coach.  She said he would have read to be a coach, he answered "I won't be a very good coach then".  Then she talked to him about Mike has to read for his job.  Lukie said "my dad doesn't need to read, he just knows where to go".  His nurse Tracy said she would call his elf buddy and tell  him Lukie wasn't doing his work.  Lukie replied, "you can't call Buddy today he is sick".  He had an answer for everything, his nurse was trying to be serious and not laugh.

This is the first person Lukie has ever drawn.

Prince Lukie and his best friend Evie (Evie is really shy:))

 Lukie was Student of the Month.

They awarded him with Enthusiasm for Life!
