Luke continues to be our harder child...he's very stubborn, sneaky, temperamental and likes to push boundaries. Basically a normal second-child! He seems to have pretty much out-grown his temper tantrums, boy, thought they'd never end! He does still fly off the handle on occasion particularly when told No if he wants something and he'll do and try anything to get what he wants anyway. I've learned that distraction works best when he's headed that direction, to direct his attention to something else such as building a Lego, coloring, snuggling, etc. Sometimes it just doesn't work though and he just has a meltdown. 

He's definitely more mature than Dylan was at this age, mostly because he has Dylan to influence his likes and dislikes and to look up to. Dylan had no interest in Xbox or other video games at this age. Luke has become obsessed and quickly mastered how to play Minecraft and he got two different Lego games for his birthday that he loves to play.
