Oh How They Look A Like

I have often talked about how much my boys look alike. Just the other day we were in the preschool where Luke went from the age of 2 until kindergarten and all the teachers that new Luke said how much Thomas looks just like him.

One thing I don't know if I have ever mentioned is how much Luke looks just like his father. It blows my mind how much they look alike. This year at Christmas time my mother-in-law gave me a photo of my husband when he was in kindergarten. Have a look at these two photos and tell me what you think?


I am sure you can guess who is who based on the photo quality but the first is Luke and the second one is his dad. If I didn't give birth to Luke I wouldn't think he was mine at all. There is nothing on him that is me it all goes to his dad.

THE MISSING GLOVE

I am going to stitch Luke's gloves and hat to his body. OK, not literally but he keeps loosing things. In the past month Luke has lost one of his snow gloves at least 5 times. I will show up at school to pick him up and he will say, mommy I lost one of my gloves. So we dig through these three huge bins of lost and found and we don't find it. I tell him to keep checking back and sure enough about two days later it appears in the bins. He then will have two gloves for about two days and we go through the same process all over again. It is literally making me crazy!

I ask him what are you doing with your gloves? He sticks them in his pockets. Pockets that are obviously not deep enough to keep the gloves inside of them. I then tell him not to take them off until he is at his locker in his class room. As you can see he listens to me so well since we keep repeating the same ordeal every few days.

He has also lost two hats. The hats have never turned up in the lost and found bin but I don't ever see any hats in the bins so I am thinking if a hat is lost it gets tossed. Probably for the prevention of spreading lice, that would be my only guess. Either way we have lost two really nice (NEW) hats and I don't think they are coming back.

What I find interesting is how easily young kids can loose things. Luke it is constant with the hats and gloves. But as I said before the bins are crazy full of shirts, gloves, lunch boxes, etc... Where are the owners of these things. We were walking out of school last week and a really nice brown girls sweater was just laying on the side walk.

Do your kids have trouble keeping track of their things? Any suggestions on how I can keep Luke from loosing his gloves all the time?
