Time to empty out the backpack

Making stop motion lego movies 

More stop motion lego movies

Our Lucaboo is 7 years old and is full of imagination and energy. He loves Star Wars, Legos, Pokémon, playing pretend, minecraft, and being creative. He prefers to play pretend or build something over playing a board game. However, he enjoys activities where he is able to be social and active. He is not a fan of board games because he has to sit still for too long. When he talks to us and sometimes when he eats he likes to walk around and move. He will sometimes walk around the kitchen table or island when telling us a story about a book he has read or a show he has watched. He is for the most part joyful. He gets upset like any other child but can quickly shake things off and move forward with life. I love this about him. He does not dwell on negative things for too long. He is still quite the picky eater and is probably still the smallest in his class. He loves school and loves being with his friends. He tends to hold on to things and not want to give them up. This includes his artwork, toys, clothes, shoes, and even recycled containers that could be a potential craft or construction. The first picture above is his backpack. He carried an empty egg carton around thinking he would use it to build something. We finally got him to get rid of it. Not to worry...he has plenty more paper towel rolls and shoe boxes to work with when he has a chance. Over the Christmas break he spent a lot of time using his iPad and legos to create stop motion lego videos. This is a skill he learned from his older brother. It is such a joy to watch him be creative. We encourage it and hope that it sticks around for a little while longer. He still loves to cuddle and would absolutely sleep with us if we allowed him. He enjoys being tucked in at night and talking in bed. He will often begin the conversation by asking us, "What was your favorite part of your day?" He is a sweetie and I am so grateful he is ours.
