Lucas, My Youngest Grandson

Lucas is a very interesting and special little boy. He came over the other day running in my back door, that is usually the entrance he makes, running. He ran to me and said I'm here. I said, I am so happy you came to see me. He answers, I know. He always comes in happy. He may have been being a pill on the ride over here, but he always comes in with a smile on his face and I get my quick hug. He doesn't sit still long enough for a long hug or extensive cuddling. I do think his mom gets those quiet times at night before bed when he is really really tired. He is so different than Josie and Hayden. They are so sweet and always want to please you. Hayden is so obedient and if you ever have to speak to him about him doing something wrong, usually arguing with his sister or cousins, he will get upset and sometimes hide and cry. Josie is a lot like that too. She isn't quite as sensitive as Hayden, but he is a perfectionist and she's not. Lucas is that child that always has the funny comeback and he could care less if you raise your voice at him when he is misbehaving. Most of the time he has an excellent excuse for his bad behavior or he just plain denies it. The other day when they were here Josie was chasing him out of my bedroom swinging her fist and running after Lucas as fast as she could. Lucas was screaming as he ran by. Josie's mom grabbed her and she said Lucas pinched her. I called him over and put him in my lap. I asked him did he pinch Josie. He said, NO, she hit me. I asked him again, but didn't you pinch Josie first and that is why she's trying to hit you. He again said, NO, I didn't do any something to her. You just got to laugh when he comes up with comments like that. He never admitted any something and believe me he never said he was sorry. He could go to his room and never be seen again before he would admit any wrong doing. Sounds like some grown men I have known. His mama has a long road ahead of her because he is only 3. Another thing he loves to do is take off his shirt and show you his muscles and he has some pretty big muscles for a 3 year old. He loves to dance and do tricks. He is just entertaining. But when he get tired he wants his cup of milk and to lay down on my bed and turn on the t.v. He will go fast asleep without any problems. I guess he just goes and goes and he is just worn out at the end of the day. Lucas will always have lots of friends. He is definitely a people person. He will be talented and athletic. Right now he loves the guitar and the drums and since his dad is a musician I can see him playing his guitar and singing lead in a band. He will charm his audiences with his talent and with his smile which is already beautiful. I hope I live long enough to see him on that stage, or field, or courtroom. He is going to be something special of that I am sure.
