oh momma!

coop man, our dinosaur with a kitten's heart i like to say. as you can see from these pics, we are ALL personality! three years old is an interesting, yet beautiful age. it's the beginning of independence and exploration yet with ATTITUDE involved!! as i watch him, i love to absorb the moments of wonder and giggles while the challenging moments that test my patience i could spare occasionally! i was telling a friend that cooper is a very determined child with a gentle spirit. his determination is a challenge but i look forward to watching that determination play out as he grows older and becomes a man. underneath that determination lies a heart full of tenderness. that boy loves to be held and he loves to wake paige up in the morning, kisses her and calls her 'paigey louie'. i cherish these moments and these sounds as i know they will gradually turn into grunts and silence!! until then. let the cuddle time in the morning remain and let him call me 'adwenn' in that precious little deep voice of his all he wants!!!
