developing skills

Luke has discovered that he can put lego pieces together as well as take them apart.

People often comment that Luke is very independent or that he is so good at entertaining himself. He is. I don't know if it's because Tim requires so much attention so Luke has learned to take care of himself or if it's just his nature. Either way, it's delightful. However, sometimes, I forget about him. I've never left him at the store or anything like that, but sometimes he'll be playing in the yard while I'm gardening and ten minutes will pass before I look up and think "where's Luke?" If he isn't in the same spot doing the same thing, he's moved a few yards away and is doing something similar.
