Cooper

Cooper!  You had a birthday and now you are two!!  Though if I ask you, you say "three!"  Only because you like to count.  If I ask you if you are one, you'll say two.

Ways that I'd describe you:

Silly.  You love to do things that make people laugh.

Rascal. You like doing things you know you shouldn't (though you haven't colored on the walls for a while! )

Clever.  You can say everything.  You can count.  You know where I hide things.  You know where we are when we're driving in the car.  

Messy. You like to throw your food, your tray.  You like to take a big drink of water just to spit it out.  You like to dump things out and get covered in dirt.

Darling.  Everything about you is cute.  Every thing you do and say.  Even when you're being the mess maker.  I love your mannerisms.  Your twinkly eyes.  The way you cock your head.  I love how you call for me almost every morning even though I haven't been able to get you out of bed for over a month.  I love your hair. You have great hair.  I love the way you run.  

Polite.  Well, for a two year old!  You say please and thank you and fold your arms during prayers.

Captivating.  We've all loved you from the moment we saw you.  You make our lives happy.  You make us better.  You keep us busy.  

Happy Birthday to my sweet Cooper.  I love you forever!
