Jakob is beyond infatuated with Lukas. Instead of crying when Matt or I leave the room, he cries for Lukas. Jakob eagerly looks for Luke in the morning. They are really starting to play together and it is beyond adorable. I know I was not prepared for two boys but honestly dont know what our family would have done without Jakob. He completes (well maybe not officially completes, but for now completes) our family and it is so special to watch two boys grow up together. Having kids close together is HARD, no doubt about it but the bond that forms is worth every single bit of exhaustion.
Our little Lukas is one of a kind. Every mom thinks her child is smart but I dont think Lukas is only smart but really connected to peoples' needs and wants. This is something I value so much in people and am so proud to see in my son. He knows right when someone needs a hug, greets strangers with the most pleasant hi, says, "I love you" every chance he can get, offers to rub your back when you are hurting... He is something else, that Lukas. This innate understanding of people is not something we taught him but something within him. I could not ask for anything more.
With that said, Lukas is NO SAINT! Because he is so in-tune with people, he also knows when/how to push buttons. At 2 and a half, he already knows how to show off. He knows how I will react in basically all situations (which includes laugh if he starts laughing when I am punishing him). He knows how to bat his eyes lashes and roll his eyes. He will be hard to raise but hard in that he knows what he wants and how he wants it. That is something I admire in adults so I need to learn how to deal with it in a child.
Basically, I am the luckiest mom alive!
