LUC HAS OPINIONS

this boy came out of the womb opinionated, so it doesn't surprise me that he is {possibly} the most opinionated toddler on the planet. while it can be flustering, it's also a little hilarious, and i like seeing glimpses of the little individual he is turning into. here are a few of my favorite luc opinions, as of late:

-he MUST have the car cart at the grocery store. any 'regular' cart is unacceptable and he will avoid sitting in it like its made of hot lava.

-he HATES going back inside, even if it's freezing. he will take my keys and run away, thinking we can't go in if i can't unlock the door {smartie pants}. when i catch him, he throws the keys as hard as he can in a last-ditch effort to keep them from me.

-he prefers to be naked at all times. he will undress himself randomly throughout the day, and pull his diaper down a few inches in the back. he hasn't ever taken it off, but he is VERY insistent about having a bit of crack hanging out. when i try to fix it, i get the wrath of the kraken in return.

-he is MR. INDEPENDENT. he wants to climb anything, run away, walk up and down stairs, open doors, and read stories all by himself. he wants to go down the slide all by himself and climb the jungle gym all by himself and play in/eat dirt and bark all by himself. i say 'no!' and 'yucky!' and 'careful!' A LOT.

-he isn't a terrible eater, but he only wants to eat what he wants, when he wants. one day that's a quesadilla, the next day quesadillas are a GIANT NO. it's a fun guessing game, and a lot of what i give him results in this face and/or the whole plate being dumped on the floor.

-his favorite thing right now are these reusable stickers of cars and trucks that we've put all over the windows. he will play with these for HOURS, it's awesome. but he's very opinionated about what goes where, and you have to ask permission before moving something around. if you put the wrong truck with the wrong trailer, you're in BIG TROUBLE.

all these opinions {and so many more} and he doesn't even say 20 words yet! i'm excited to see what happens when we add talking to all of his daily activities.
