I hurt myself cancer May 13, 2008

We were discussing with Tyler what a blessing it was that we had Luke b/c we found out later I had cancer while pregnant with him.  It was a miracle I was able to carry him.  So then Russ and Tyler start talking about if that means Luke has cancer also.  Ty says, “Well Dad I think he has the cancer that makes him hurt himself.”  We chuckled because Luke has had so many tumbles, spills, running into, running overs, just too many to count.  That day Luke fell off the chair 3 times.  You think he would have learned after the first spill but NO he did it 3 times and manged to put his tooth through his lip.  He barley cried.  Then he was playing in our closet and ran his toe over with the sliding door cutting open his toe.  He had earlier in the week been running at the side of the house and ran smack dab into the BBQ making a moon shape on the side of his temple.  That was another day he didn’t cry very hard or long.  He is just so dang tough.  You can tell when he is hurt b/c he does whisper breathing like he is Lamaze breathing the pain away.  He is a handful of energy!  Tyler and he share the really HIGH pain thresh hold for pain.  Amazing Ty was 6 b-4 we had to go to the ER for staples.  Unfortunately for Luke he watches his older brothers do crazy things and he doesn’t realize he is only 2.  So he just goes for them as if he too were 7years old.  If you ever are bored you are welcome to take Luke for the day I guarantee it will be a day full of anything but boredom.

This is Luke’s moon shaped scab by his temple from the BBQ

These are pictures of Luke’s Lip he was upset b/c he wanted to have the camera.  You can see the mark outside where the tooth came through and the yucky white inside his lip where it went in.  Poor little guy!
