Pleasant Surprises

Jun-12 » Filed Under: Cooper » Posted by: Todd

(Just wanted to record these thoughts for posterity.)

Tonight we loaded the kids up to go on a run, and since we are a bit tired of the route in our neighborhood we drove to a shopping area nearby that has a bookstore and and ice cream shop, among other things. We told Cooper that he could pick which one he wanted to go to after our run. He chose the bookstore. Yes!

He's said a couple other funny/endearing things lately as well. When we are driving in the car and Anna starts crying he'll look over at her and say (very seriously), "it's ok Anna, I'm right here." Also, the other night I was reading him stories before bed and he started picking at my hand with his nail. I asked him to stop and he just looked at me, laughed, and did it again. I used my very parental voice and said he needed to stop b/c that was hurting daddy. He said in an exasperated voice, "I was just teasing you daddy," and immediately stopped. Outsmarted by my two-year old. That one made me shake my head afterward.
