My funny Coop

Cooper picked me a flower (weed) the other day and came running up to give it to me.  After smelling it and giving the appropriate response (“I love it, it’s beatufitul!) he quickly ran away to play.  I promptly chuck it behind me (it really was a weed, like an already blown out dandelion).  Little did I know that Cooper would come back so quickly, spot the flower/weed on the ground, realize that it was the exact one he tried to give me,  and come back to me with it in hand and say in his sweet voice, “Mommy, don’t you want this?”  My heart melts and I say, “Oh I knew I had dropped it somewhere.  Thank you for finding it for me!”  Whoo, dodged a bullet on that one ;-)

While sitting in church, Coop’s cousin Jade told him that they had a giant ball they were bringing over to play with.  The kind you can actually get in and roll around in.   Well shortly after, Coop leans over to Uncle Tyler (Jade’s Dad) and says, “You have big balls?”  He only hesitates a little before putting on a big smile and saying, “Why yes I do!”

We were walking home the other day and Coop was complaining about not wanting to walk anymore.  I tell him he’s fine and he’ll survive the 20 yards further we had to go.  He thinks about that and says, “But Mom, I have a cough so my legs don’t work.”  Hmmm, I think we need to work on our cause and effect statements.
