A Typical Day In the Life Of...

Luke Marshall Lee

7:45 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. - Wakes up. Comes in Momma and Daddy's room. Asks, "I get in Momma's bed and watch t.v. a minute?" Climbs in to snuggle with Momma and watch "Stanley" on Disney.

8:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. - Tells Momma, "I hungwy. I eat cerweal?" Go to kitchen, climbs in chair, eats half a box of cereal while looking out the window to watch the cars and birds.

9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. - Runs around the house shooting hoops, playing trucks, and leading Faith in a good ol' fashioned game of "Chase Noel."

10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. - Plays outside. Activities include shooting "big boy hoops,"golfing, baseball, more Noel chasing, concrete chalk drawing. We also use this time to feed the ducks and go to the park.

11:00 a.m. - lunch - Play in room with baby sister. Encourage her to climb. Drag out every toy in toy box. Climb on bunk beds. Color.

lunch - sits at table eating something that is palatable. This is probably his least favorite part of the day. He thinks he is too busy to eat.

12:30 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. - Coloring, finger painting, reading books. Quiet time to get ready for nap time. Luke's favorite books include: "My Big Book of Jungle Animals," "Diggers and Dump Trucks," "Hugs Loves Kisses," and "Swine Lake."

1:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. - Toy pick up. Kid clean up. Every thing has to be in it's designated place before Luke can rest. He is definitely like his Daddy...everything has it's place and there it must be before anyone can rest. Taddle taling on Faith for climbing on everything that he already knows are not supposed to be climbed upon.

1:30 p.m. - 3:30ish - Nap time. Trying to sleep when his little sister won't stop talking or singing. Usually wraps blankie around his head to drown out the noise. Sweet little man!

3:30ish - Sweet snuggle time with Momma. Lasts about 5 minutes. Gotta go shoot hoops or play hockey.

4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. - Snack time. Outside play with Faith. Favorite things to play outside are hoops and golf. Add a little sliding and Noel chasing and you have a first-rate good time.

5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. - Watch movie and playing inside. Usually shoots hoops or plays with puzzles and blocks.

6:00 p.m. - 7:00p.m. - Plays with Daddy and Faith. Dinner. More playtime with Daddy - usually Wii, wrestling, or "tackle football."

7:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. - Bath time and teeth brushing. Snuggle time. Read books.

7:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - Bed time during this 30 minute interval.

Luke is so sweet. He is the easy going, extremely smart, motivated, loving, kind, obedient (for a 3 year old), funny, outgoing, and protective. It's really funny to have a real conversation with him. He is starting to be able to reason a little bit. He is so aware of people's feelings and smart. I can't believe how big he is. 3 years has flown by.
