Cooper can whistle!
Just saying.  I think it’s pretty amazing.  Since I can’t whistle and all.

Uncle Tim sent the best fire fighter costume I have ever seen in the mail today! Cooper is so excited to wear his new gear to the fire station this weekend.

Big Thunder Mountain part 3. The big finale. This is by far my favorite ride and I’m so glad that Cooper liked it today. Last time we went to Disneyland with the Walsh’s we measured Coop just to see if he was big enough. Hooray, he was! Today we met up with Lindsay, Lexi and Olivia. The big girls were game and made it seem like no big deal. He had a blast and I’m so excited to...

Summer Ice Blocking. Lindsay and her family were headed up to the park to have a little fun and she called to see if we wanted to come. Cooper loved Sliding down the hill and started paddling down on his tummy. Gotta love a fun impromptu week night!

Coop had swimming lessons with Miss Vanessa today. He’s a rock star now! And check out Blakey’s cool swim cap in the background…almost as cool as Miss Vanessa’s

Here is our conversation just a minute ago. Patrick watching Friday Night Lights-hey! That’s where I got my tattoos. Cooper-can I get tattoos there when I’m big. Carolyn-No, you can’t get tattoos. Cooper looking super sad and leaving the room. Carolyn-Tattoos won’t be cool anymore. Cooper comes back in the room-I was just sad in my room cause I want big tattoos. Oh...

Swimming Lessons and how every flaw in my...
Let me start by saying that 2 summers ago, Cooper was jumping off of Jori’s Waterfall naked over and over.  And last summer he would float around the pool with a “rainbow” for hours.  I wanted to get him into swimming condition and water safe this spring, so that I might be able to do the 3 year old and a baby thing at the pool.  So I talked to lots of friends and decided on...

The Dentist!
Yesterday was Cooper’s first visit with the dentist!  I have read that some people say that you should go with the little tyke when the first tooth arrives, but I’ve also read that you can wait until they are 3.  So I waited but I felt like time was up.  One of Cooper’s best buddies in his class at preschool is Ryan.  And Ryan’s mom is a pediatric dentist.  I figured we...

Wax
“Why are you cleaning my ears Mama?” “Because they have wax in them.” “Like on Daddy’s surfboard?” “Yep, Coop.”

Our new shows
Should I be super excited that Cooper is begging for new TV shows?  Probably not but it is nice to mix it up a little.  The Backyardagains, Dora, Diego, & Oso are in heavy rotation over here and its just nice to not have Mickey on all day. And who doesn’t love a 3 year old who sings “What do you do with a scurvy pirate, make him walk the plank!”

Thanksgiving week was amazing!
I really should be posting the pictures right now, but they’re on the downstairs computer and I’m all cozy on the middle floor computer and not about to mess that up so you’ll have to wait!   As I am setting my alarm for tomorrow so that I don’t forget to wake up for school, I truly am thankful.  This past week did involve some good old fashioned sugared corn and mashed...

With a very last minute phone call I was rehired by Capistrano Unified.  So I spent Labor Day weekend stressing and laboring.  Thank goodness that the crazy start of my school year means that Cooper gets to go back to La Cristianita!  Coop moved into his new classroom over the summer but Miss Luisana is back after maternity leave and some of his older buddies have moved to the classroom next door....
