Luke's version of Peter Rabbit

For a Valentine's gift to Matt's parents, I thought it would be cute for Luke to write a story.  Here's what he came up with. We call it Luke's Peter Rabbit.

Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit named Peter.  Peter went through a fence.  Once upon a time, he was running so fast in a race,  He was running so fast.

Once upon a time, he saw a man raking his leaves, and he was mean.  Peter ran away from the man.  He got through the fence fast.  Then he saw the man again.

Then there was a big mean wolf.  The wolf was so fast running.  Peter ran from the big mean wolf.  Peter ran fast enough to the pond.  The he swam so fast to get away from the big mean wolf.

Then the big mean wolf got tired and went home.  Then Peter went  home and played lots and lots and lots and lots of toys.  The End.

Luke: Parker puts toys in weird places.

Me: Why do you think he does that?

Luke: Because its funny.

Me: Yea?

Luke: Yes, he needs to change his mind.

Me: Why?

Luke: Because, he needs to change his mind and put toys in the right place.  I can't find my lightening car.

Me: Oh, I see.

Luke is really lazy in the morning and I am trying to encourage independence with getting ready for the day.  

Me: Luke, it is time to get dressed for school. You need to stand up so you can change.

Luke: (stands up then dramatically falls to the ground) I'm dizzy, you need to help me.

Me: Nice try, cutie.  Now stand up and try again.

Luke: Ok mommy.

Checking out at Hobby Lobby, Luke needed to explain to the cashier what we were buying.

Luke:  This is a map.  There's Michigan, there's Florida, there's.......


Cashier: You are so cute.

Luke: This is money.  It's just for pretend.


Luke:  This is a heart box.  I'm going to decorate the lid.


Cashier: That is a nice heart.

Luke: Those are a cowboy hat and a safari hat, stickers to make cards, a flower to put on the lid....






Luke: And this is a mailbox.  Blues Clues has a mailbox that moves.

Cashier:  I like Blues Clue.  Do you know any of the songs?

Luke: (laughing) NO!

Cashier: Oh you are just so cute!
