"you know what mom, 'People are God's puppets'

I just thought of that. Its a good idea, right?"

at the playground

luca is pouting and sitting on the bench, told austin he doesnt want to play.

austin walks by where luca sits and says,

"think about what you want to do what will make you happy, and when you have an idea, just let me know"

with austin

luca: austin, i dont like it when you grab my face.

austin: i'm sorry luca. i wont do that today. i only do that when i need a nap.

luca: Austin - are you a good guy or a bad guy? i'm a good guy!

Austin: i'm a good guy too!

luca: we can be partners!

"Dayum!"

Luca has been constantly saying "Dayyyyum" around the house at all his toys with the EXACT inflection that Gioel uses when he says "damn!" in kind of a slang way to mean "wow!" Luca doesnt exactly know the word his is saying since it sort of ends in an "r", but i KNOW this is something he has copied from Daddy. watch your mouth!!!

Stationary Walking

Not sure exactly where Luca learned about "stationary walking" - something he does in the house from time to time. The other day in his swim lesson his instructor Scott asked him to hold the ladder and kick his feet above the surface to make splashes. Luca starts the activity then turn to Scott:

"You know what its called when you hold onto something like a ladder and kick? Its called 'stationary swimming!'"

Scott replied "Thats a big word." and laughed....

Brains

Gioel: "Luca, sit in your chair and eat your dinner." (Luca couldn't sit still and wasnt focusing)

Luca: "Dad, there's something wrong with your brain. You can't talk to me like that!"

This is why they call him "Zoom"

Luca rode his scooter home from dinner last night. His great-grandpa Zoom ("Grampy") chased after him. 87 years young, Zoom ran 5 blocks home after Luca and didnt even break a sweat!
