Luke is amazing to me---he pays careful attention to "the way things are done," and then does them that way, without being taught or prompted. Here are some things he learned somewhere (not in our house) and has decided to do.
- Put your shirt on with your arms first. Michael may actually have taught him this, but I never ever tried putting his arms in first until he started asking me. Now he absolutely insists. He's actually pretty good about getting into his shirt and can almost do it by himself.
- Eat your cereal with milk. Eleanor may have done this once, but none of the rest of us do---I don't eat cereal, Amanda can't have milk (although she can have soy milk) and Michael hasn't had milk in his cereal for a long time. Luke only will eat the cereal with milk.
- Put water on your toothpaste before brushing. I have no idea where he found out that this is the correct procedure---I read somewhere that doing this dilutes the toothpaste so I have never put water on before brushing. But he's decided, and so that's what he does.
