Today is Luke's 4th birthday. After his half day at school, we picked him up, fed him his favorite sandwhich ("sandwich americain avec concombre"), then drove to the circus. He was mighty impressed with the circus - we saw leopards, elephants, clowns, magicians's, hula-hoopers, and the famous "hair hanging lady". Then we went to papi/mami for dinner (roast chicken and french fries, chocolate ice cream cake) and presents. And of course, one of papi's famous puppet shows. Tomorrow we bring a cake to school to share with his friends at snack time, and sunday a few friends will be invited for a party at home. All in all, we will have celebrated his birthday 5 times by the end of the week (once with nonna, once with us, once with school, once with our closest friends, once with his school friends). Overkill perhaps?

Post-edit: Since I did this for Lydia, I want to do this for Luke too: choice words to describe him: My gorgeous boy is: thoughtful, deliberate, introspective, affectionate and a bit of a joker. He loves to play with his toy animals and pretending to be a lion or tiger or sabertooth tiger. His favorite tv/movie characters are the lion king and Diego from Ice Age. He dislikes walking but loves to run, and more specifically to race. He's a very sore loser (something we're working on!). He's perfectly bi-lingual french/english, and is starting to recognize letters and numbers and can write his name. He loves to wrestle with his dad and loves reading books, especially scary ones with wolves or monsters. He's a great kid!
