A Day with Cooper

I've gotta be honest, I was hysterical when I woke up still too sick to visit Oliver in the NICU.  I was counting on it with my whole heart when I went to bed the night before.  I cried a lot.  Off and on the whole day.

But somewhere in the middle of all of that, I realized that maybe, just maybe, my Cooper needed me more.  And so I tried to forget myself a little and I played with Cooper.

There's a lot of fun to be had when you dig around Ethan's room and pull out the toys he doesn't play with anymore!  Trains and trucks galore!  Mom organized and rearranged toys all day!  I can sleep peacefully now knowing everything is on its way to being back where is belongs.  Ha!

 We drove diggers and trains.  Read books and played hide-n-seek…sort of.  Blocks and more cars.  Had a picnic lunch.  Rolled around laughing and tickling.

 I even let Cooper see all the things in the Hutch.  He loves to smell the candles.  I might have been tired and hurting, but I think I might have forgotten about it for a little bit too.  I sure love my Cooper!

 And Todd stopped by to visit Oliver on the way home from work.
