Here are a few anecdotes:
--- 1 ---
Every time the ice maker drops ice into the bin in the freezer, Luke gasps and exclaims "fun-ah!!".
me: "No, sweet boy, that's not thunder... it's just the ice maker."
This conversation happens at least ten times every day.

In the car on the way to school in the morning...
Luke: "Mommy... fi-ah cruck!!"
Me: "No buddy, that's just a regular truck. Fire trucks are red and they have hoses and ladders on them."
(a few minutes pass)
Luke: "Mommy... fi-ah cruck!!" (he points to a pick-up truck with a bunch of ladders in the back)
I love this kid, I think to myself.

This next little conversation happened right in the middle of story time. As I turn the page in "feesh book" (One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish)...
Luke: "Mommy, owie?"
me: "oh, you want to see the owie on my hand where I scratched it?" (I showed him this "owie" days ago... I'm surprised he even thought about it).
I show him the little bitty scratch and he proceeds to v-e-r-y gently stroke the wound during the next few pages of the book.
Then he turns to me and says "Mommy, tiss owie?".
me: "oh, you want to kiss it? How sweet you are!"
(he puckers up and gives my "owie" the most gentle little kiss)
Luke: "all bettah, mommy"
Then he just glances up at me and gives me the sweetest smile. I'm telling you - this boy is made of pure sugar!
Other noteworthy items from this week... during dinner last night he used a cup. Not a sippy cup... a regular cup! And he did GREAT with it!! He uses a regular (non-sippy) cup at school a lot in his new class - I'm so impressed with his skills!
Also, he has two stickers on the potty chart at school for going pee pee in the potty TWICE at school this week!! What a big boy!! So proud!
