Cooper has been a busy body this summer. With a new wake-up time of 625 I'm not sure how hes still going full blast at 830 every night? Cooper has been spending his day with Stacey Trujillo, at her out of home daycare. She has Abbie, age almost 3, Ben 9 mos, and then she watched Cooper and Cole 18 mos. With this gang Cooper is entertained! Cooper and Abbie make perfect playmates weighing in at about the same size :) Stacey has the kids doing all kinds of fun activities like colored rice, timeout bottles, and ziploc bag painting! I know there is no shortage of fun in that house!
Cooper usually gets picked up by Nana (my mom) every monday-wednesday and they have bonded over this, they sing on the car ride home and then get home and play! Cooper spends most evenings in the backyard playing in the sandbox, his kiddy pool, riding in his car, sliding or swinging or he hangs out in the front yard with all of the neighborhood kids trying to get them to play with him.
His evening routine is now perfected, after dinner we take a tubby, he plays for a little while or watches some cartoons, and around 830 its time to brush his teeth, read 3 books, pray and go Nite Nite. It has been going over smoothly.
On thursday I drop him off with the Trujillo's and Andy picks him up that evening, he keeps him overnight thursday and friday and they have a good ol boys time until Saturday evening.
In every spare moment Cooper has he would like to be batting, pitching, throwing and "gloving" baseball! If it isnt clear I think this boy LOVES BASEBALL! I have been trying to plan a birthday party and I had all of these "themes" and then one day while we were playing baseball I thought "DUH! a baseball party!!" its his most favorite thing right now and hopefully in a year it will be his favorite so he can start playing! I'm ready and prepared to be a sports mommy! And I have a feeling Andy and Grandpa Richard would be THRILLED if Cooper played baseball! :)
This coming week for the 4th of July Cooper will be taking a trip with his daddy to St. Louis to visit the family! I know he will have an amazing time and everyone will be so thrilled that hes grown so much! Mommy will miss him oh so much! 5 days without him will be hard, thankfully my good friend Kelley will be in town and I will have plenty to keep me busy! :)
