Making a name for himself...

The other day I was eating luch and Cooper was sitting next to me playing with playdoh. I wasn't really paying attention to what he was doing but suddenly he started calling out letters and getting very excited. He had made his name (or an approximation of it) out of playdoh all by himself!



He is missing a letter and the R is huge, but besides that he did a darn good job! I couldn't tell what the letter after the O's was, but Cooper told me it was a P.

He was so proud of himself he even posed for a picture with his creation!

Cooper must have been cold, he went and found his hat and mittens and put them on all by himself!

Puzzle Proof

Here is a video of Cooper doing an interlocking 9 piece puzzle. He is really good at it, despite refusing to do even the simplest form puzzle at school. Usually he can do it much faster but a)He was very tired b)He was watching Yo Gabba Gabba at the same time c) I was videotaping it of course he is going to go slow!

Happy Birthday Quinn!

Today was Quinn's sixth birthday. He had a great day and they made it really special for him at school. I thought they wouldn't do anything because they already had the "April Birthdays" party. I was wrong, his aide bought in cupcakes and chips for the whole class and they had another party! I feel like such a bad mom, I should have done that! Oh well. She also bought him a huge balloon that actually sings "Happy Birthday" two toy trucks and a ball! Quinn loved all of his presents especially the balloon. He and Cooper both love the balloon, personally I think it is a tad loud :) They really go all out at his new school, it makes me happy that they work so hard to give him a good life.

Quinn's Birthday Party

He wasn't too sure about presents this year.

He needed help opening them.

But, he really loved playing with all his new toys!

He especially loved playing in his new tent.

If my brother is going to be in there I am out of here.

Birthday Ice Cream!

Forget the singing, give me that ice cream!

Pre-Birthday Boy

Quinn's school had it's April birthday party today. Since his birthday is on Tuesday he was the star of the party. He came home with this huge sticker on his back!

What? Is there a sign on my back or something?

I had to take a picture of the sticker fast because Cooper kept trying to rip it off Quinn's back. Doesn't he look guilty? I have no clue what he is doing with his shirt but it is cute!
