Ms. Karen said, "Your boy Luke is quite the independent thinker!" She explained that they were talking about soldiers and learning about them. Part of the craft activity involved decorating their scabbard with stickers. Luke refused to do so. So Ms. Karen took him aside and showed him pictures and explained that back in the day, the soldiers had their swords decorated with ornamental things. She showed him an example. Immediately, he said, "I want to do it like this!" So he drew a design on his scabbard. She was so impressed and said that this shows he is very left-brained and logical... and quite mature! The little things I learn about Luke! <3

Today Luke read a book about caves during our rest time. On our way home from dinner (we ate at Nomad Asian Bistro -- I didn't feel good afterwards... but I missed Chinese food so much; still it was not worth it), he said he didn't want to play Uno (he's been obsessed for a while) but instead he wants to create a Lava Cave in our hallway. They've been at it (Josiah and Luke) for the past 40 minutes. I love his creativity and his love for play. And I love how Josiah just goes along with it. I love them both so!
