I feel like I have not blogged in forever. Things have just kind of been plugging along here. We had a good Thanksgiving. Mumsy and Gus were kind enough to come celebrate with us and actually make it seem like a holiday. We all enjoyed it immensely.
The kids have been up to their usual antics. Jill is always saying things to crack us up. Here are a few (more for my memory than your enjoyment so feel no obligation to read).
- Cooper is still trying to learn to say words. Anytime we try to work with him Jill yells at us "he can't talk!" Tucker explained that Cooper was trying to talk and Jill said "trying means doesn't." Then we heard her saying to Cooper in the other room "Think in your mind: What are you up to?" I am very curious what he was thinking in his mind at that moment. He seems to be understanding more and more.. just hesitant to talk himself.
-- Cooper is not quite as popular as Jill was as a tot. He seems interested in other kids but then his idea of playing with them is pulling hair, shoving, and stomping on them. We went to the mall the other day and Jill, per her routine, threw money in the fountain and made a wish. Her wish "I wish Mama would quit work" then her wish for Cooper was " I wish other people would like Cooper". How sad! The wishing fountain is a great way to peer into her deepest thoughts.
--Coop is obsessed with brushing his teeth. Its kind of weird.
--The kids are playing more and more with each other lately. Its very cute.
