Special Day

One special day for one very special little guy! Cooper is FOUR! I am one very lucky Momma. I never knew the love a person could feel until I became a Mom. Yes, I had heard all of the cliches but never understood until they put him in my arms four years ago! When you become a mom they are no longer cliches, but statements that hold so much truth.

It seems impossible that four years have gone by, but in the past four years I have shared moments with this precious little guy that I would not trade for the world. As I type this post, I have tears in my eyes. Simply thinking of how blessed my life is because of him.

* He has been my cuddle baby since the day he was born. As a baby, he slept on our laps or laying on our chests and loved it! He still asks to sleep with us every night and every night we give him the you are a big boy speech, but around 5 am every morning he climbs in bed with us.

* He adores his sister. He does not like to go anywhere without her. They play together so well. Of course, they have their squabbles but they do not like to be apart. He worries about her and takes such good care of her. I know that he will always be there to protect her, and she is so lucky to have such an amazingly loving big brother.

+ I love to see the world through his eyes. He has so much excitement for the new and unknown. He has such curiousity about everything. He wants to know how everything works.
He makes the smallest chores fun and exciting.

+ He hates to clean up. He will do anything and everything to get out of cleaning up. This includes cleaning of all types.

+ He does not like chocolate, but loves candy.

+ He would spend every minute of every day outside playing. He loves to ride his bike and scooter.

+ He loves animals. He would keep every creepy, crawly creature he finds if his momma would let him.

+ Accoring to him, I only have one name and that is "Momma"

+ His daddy is his hero and in his eyes Daddy can do all things. He can fix everything, solve everything, and is the coolest guy in the world. He wants to grow up and be as tall as his daddy.

+ He wants to be a basketball player when he grows up.

+ Some fun facts:

brocolli/cauliflower salad
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (peanut butter on the bottom and jelly on top)

Shoe size: 10

Happy Birthday Buddy, Mommy loves you!
