Cute Stories

I'm not big on reading all the child development stuff- I usually just call my friend Jamie if I need help on anything. I stressed out way too much over every little milestone that Cooper was or wasn't hitting and when I let that go my life was a lot less stressful. But I figure 3 is about the age for potty training so this morning I realized I needed to pull out Cooper's little potty. (I bought it months ago but gave up when I found the seat cushion over Bear's head all the time like a little hat and the bottom in the bath tub.) Cooper jumped right on it and positioned himself and knew to say potty and stinky. He just had a little party on the potty for a while. Bear realized where we were and came running in and tried to tackle Cooper off the potty so he could play with the cushion.

I told Bear that it was not a Bear toy it was Cooper's potty. Cooper responded with, "That's right Bear, wjahn aierueij diefjei, biiiig trouble my potty."

Later Cooper found a little blue rabbit. We've had it for over 6 months but they don't play with it. But today he grabbed it up and started slamming it up and down yelling, "Rabbit bounce!" over and over again. I know what's cute about that? Well then he suddenly looks at it, holds it tight to him and says, "Oh bunny I'm sooooo happy."

So Bear woke up from his nap and as he's started to do the last few days he runs to Cooper's bedroom door and wakes Coop up. Today Bear started the pounding on the door and I hear a frantic, "Mommy, mommy, mommy!" I go into the room and Coop grabs my hand and says, "My boo boo!" He puts my hand on his boo boo. It happened like 3 or 4 days ago and he REFUSED to let me put a band aid on him. I even tried to sneak one on when he was sleeping but he kept taking it off. Today he sits there while I put a band aid on and I'm fully expecting him to rip it off and he says, "Thanks!" then jumps off the bed and still has it on!!! I can't keep up with the rules :-)

Now as I'm typing they are eating lunch and Cooper keeps saying, "Oohhhh mommy, that's yummy. Wow mommy that's nummy!!" It's broccoli, squash, kale, tomatoes mixed with quinoa. How cute is he????

I didn't realize I had all these cute stories today but Coop is doing the cutest things. I asked him to throw a diaper away for me. I don't ask them to do enough I'm so used to doing everything. So now he gets his shoes or his diaper. I thought no way will he throw this out he can't work the step lever on the trash can to open it. He takes the diaper and RUNS to the trash can. He can't get it open so he rips the whole top off and throws it in and yells, "We did it!!"

So now he's over here picking up all the tupperware lids that Bear threw all over the kitchen and putting them back in the drawer. I find that so amusing because it used to be Cooper throwing all the tupperware lids all over the floor!
