Imagination

Cooper and I were playing in his bean pool. Cooper held up a bean to me and said, "Is this a slipper?" It was missing about a forth of the bean, and it really looked like slipper! :)

Naked Baby!

Cooper loves to run around our house when he doesn't have clothes on. This particular morning, he had his Thomas undies and his boots. Nice combo.

This one is for you, Uncle Wade!

Yesterday, Coop was out helping Nate work on the cars. He came inside, and I asked him what he had been doing.

Cooper: Driving.
Me: Oh really? Where were you going?
Cooper: Colby
Me: Really. Who were you going to visit in Colby?
Cooper: Uncle Wade.

I asked Nate when he came in if they had been talking about Uncle Wade, and they hadn't. Coop came up with that all on his own! He loves you, Uncle Wade!!

Fun with Miles

It was bath night and we caught Miles being his happy self.  Most days Miles is all smiles and giggles, with the occasional grunt or scream.  

See ya at lunch!

This post is a bit more personal, but it all adds to several funny stories about Cooper.  

Last night after work, I was in the bathroom.  Cooper came storming in - 'Daddy, where are you?'  After he found me, he quickly turned around and said, 'Bye dad, I'll give you some alone time.'  A few minutes later, as I was changing into some shorts in our closet, back he came at full speed, bursting through our closet door.  When he saw that I was changing, he looked puzzled and asked 'Daddy, are you going back to work?'  Before I had a chance to answer, he said 'see you at lunch!' and bolts out of our room.  

Cooper is learning about his feelings.  Yesterday Cooper had 'time out' for jumping on the couch.  While he was in his room, he kept coming to the door and saying 'I feel frustrated because, because I feel sad!'  

Later in the evening, as it was getting towards Cooper and Miles' bedtime, Miles was a beginning to get a bit fussy.  I asked Cooper if he could go get a pacifier, and when he came back he said 'Miles, which one do you want?'  He held out his hands and he had brought back two, one was blue and the other red.  It was very thoughtful.
