My Lukie is the shy guy of the group. Always has been. He'll hide between my legs, avoiding your eyes until he gets really used to you ... then, watch out.
But he loves make believe. We have lots of costumes are our house -- two Spider-Man, one Batman and one Ironman. When he watches Spider-Man, on goes the costume. Same goes with the others. He loves to put on those costumes and jump around, pretending to be a super hero.
Wonder if he knows he's my super hero?
Another love of his is to get his face painted. If we see a face-painting booth at a fair, festival or anywhere else, then that's all he wants. Goes along with the costumes, I suppose.
We went to the state fair Saturday. He got his face painted like a lizard man. His entire face was green, with black around his eyes. It was hideous in a cute way.
But remember he's shy. Face paint tends to stir the attention of strangers, as do Batman costumes when you wear them to the grocery store. He doesn't want the attention of strangers.
So, we're walking around the fair Saturday, with Lizard Luke, as strangers pointed, laughed and told him how cute he looked. We were sitting on a bench when he looked at me and said, "Mom, why is evewybody wookin' at me?" I started laughing. My brother started laughing, and he goes, "Have you seen your face?" Lucas didn't think it was funny, but we couldn't help but giggle at the irony.
Poor Lukie just doesn't get it. He just loves the make believe, and thinks that should be it. No one else needs to be in his world. It was cute. He had fun, and we hated to wash the paint off before bedtime. Lizard Luke is gone, but not forgotten.
