Then came the boy with the long eye lashes...

Guess who they belong to?

My pretty boy Lucas is 3 and a half. He's got such long eyelashes, I often say isn't it such a waste on a boy? But of course I do not mean it that way! It compliments his big puss in boots eyes. Don't you just want to put a glob of Elizabeth Arden Double Density Max Volume on those curls? Haha! (I can just hear a 13 year old Lucas saying....NOT FUNNY MOM!)

Lucas is our 2nd born, our "middle child", if there's ever such a thing. He has always been a challenge, the family clown. He could go from cry to laugh in 3 seconds, and back again. He holds the record for the longest tantrum thrown. He is ridiculously noisy, aggressive and deliberately provocative. He picks fights, he spits and he taunts his OLDER brother until he explodes in tears. He teases his sister, takes her dollies, trip her over. AND there is always NOISE where he is. His terrible TWO has turned into terrible THREE, and now I wonder if it is ever going to go away (Will he become fantastic FOUR?), or what he might turn out to be when he became an adult.

BUT he is also the most funny, the most witty and the most entertaining. He goes about doing his own thing without a single care in the world! And he melts hearts when he batts those long eye lashes, and he throw one of those gorgeous smiles your way! He can chat you up, he calls on you the LOUDEST, he says GOOD MOOORNING to everyone, when everyone was having a sleep in on Sundays.

Grandma says he is also the cleverest.

Que sera, sera. What will be, will be.
