Even though I know Luke gets entertained easily, he continues to make me smile when he does this in various environments. He does this so easily in the car or at home and even in new places. The latest example of this happened a couple weekends ago.
We took Luke in for an endoscopy, and then the following day he started getting sick to his stomach and didn’t stop. We were admitted to the hospital and wound up staying three longs days to make sure Luke was done getting sick and could eat and drink on his own ok. While there they decided to get him a “crib” instead of a bed since he has so many delays. I was never so grateful for something.
You see the last time we had to admit Luke overnight they gave him a regular bed…which meant I had to stay with him constantly for fear of him falling out or something. That also meant that he and I didn’t get a lot of sleep since he never sleeps next to me.
Anyway, so the “crib” was a huge relief for me and allowed Luke to have the freedom he loves. The first couple days Luke felt so “puny” that he didn’t want to do anything but lay in the bed. But, by the third day when he was feeling better Luke really got a kick out of his new surroundings.
The “crib” had the bars on all sides that could be raised or lowered, but this crib also had a plastic canopy for protection purposes. So when Luke started getting all excited and wanted to start throwing everything out of this new “crib” I “battened down the hatches” and put the bars up as far as possible and pulled the plastic down from the tops. Wouldn’t you know it? Luke thought this was the best ever. Why? Well he decided to take his monkey and the balls the nurse brought him and throw them at the plastic and then laugh as they fell or bounced back at him. Luke thought this was the best thing ever! Silly little man. You have to love his sense of humor!
I tried to get this on video…but of course he didn’t perform on command, but you can at least see what I am talking about.
