Cooper is hilarious lately. At Erin's the other day she and I were talking and I said, "if I were to ask Sharon today she would say no." Cooper, who was sitting next to me goes, "Then don't ask her Mommy." Oh my gosh we were laughing hard. Today we were watching Handy Manny and Sharon said, "I want Handy Manny to come finish our bathroom." Cooper said, "Mama you are Handy Manny." How cute, right. He constantly tells her she can't work or travel because she has to work on the bathroom. He is very concerned about the progress apparently.
Some other things he is saying. Today he had two separate playdates and Larkin was here. Larkin was coming outside with me and Cooper said (with his pouty look), "but then I won't have anyone to play with me." When Emory left this afternoon Cooper said (with an even poutier look), "Now no one is here to play with me."
He has never been especially sad to not have friends here and it's not like he was really playing great with Emory at the time but it is interesting to see/hear this commentary from him.
In other news, we had our first preschool parent/teacher conference this week. It was cool to hear the teacher's observations and go through the checklist. It is exciting that this is the start to his school life. I love the play-based model, the freedom it allows and the lack of pressure on academics at this age and I love his teacher!
We also had our first preschool playdate today at our house. We asked Cooper who he would like to invite over and he said Graham. So we had Graham and his Mama Kim over this morning and they had a great time together.
