Luca Jack Ferguson - 6 y.o.

The scheduling gremlins got it right for us this year so Kelly and I got to spend a load of time with Luca on his birthday.

We had the Ferguson family traditional morning bed present opening - plenty of Skylanders on the wish list this year. Kelly and I then took Luca to his favourite cafe, Pilu on Freshwater beach, for breakfast and a baby cino. We then did the school drop-off and Kelly brought in cupcakes for Luca's class so they could celebrate his birthday. We then went back to the school mid-way through the day for Luca's class graduation ceremony where he sang (as part of the class) three songs.


Just watching him enthusiastically singing was great and a testament to his growing confidence. It was only two years ago that we went to his concert and he wouldn't sing a thing, just sat there and looked at all the people looking at him. Luca is still a really mild mannered kid, he has a number of close friends and is conscientious and enthusiastic about school and is doing well. He loves his Nintendo 3DS and especially the games Skylanders and Skylander Giants, and he has a whole bunch of figurines that go with it. He is still a big fan of Pitbull, but he will sing a long to most songs Kelly and I like (except when Scout also shows interest in a song), he often cracks himself up by acting 'crazy' and saying silly things. He is still into his superheroes with The Avengers movie being a favourite of his this year.

We love the big guy so much he is a champion and the source of so much joy for Kelly and I. Happy birthday mate.
