2/13: Cooper likes to use his "booster" to go really fast when he races us. He saw Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story) using a "booster." He pokes a pretend button on his chest to make it go and say's "Booster, Go On!" When he wants to go really really fast he pokes the button quickly and multiple times with both hands. He now also gives "Booster hugs" and uses his booster a lot when we're rough-housing to get away from us.
2/15: Cooper swallowed one of his Magnetix marbles today. He said he had spilled some juice on it and was trying to suck the juice off and swallowed the whole thing. He came running to Michelle and frantically said "I'm ok, I'm ok, I'm ok." Whenever he says this we know something's wrong. It's like he trying to comfort himself by saying he's OK. The marble showed up four days later.
2/20: Cooper sat on a bean bag type of lounge chair at a store. He turned to Dad and said "This is the life"
2/22: Cooper asked "Do you want to go to a shelter and get a cat of our own?" (after talking about Aunt Mary Beth's cat Toonsey)
2/22: Cooper said "Tonight is the funniest night of my life" when the bouncy ball he was playing with bounced into Mom's slipper
2/24: Cooper was playing and said "That was a good jump - a good jump indeed"
2/25: Cooper refered to Aunt Mary Beth's cat Toonsey as his "Cat-cousin"
I came home from work and Cooper was very excited to show me his trap made with a ball of string Grandma W gave him. He'd just started his work in this shot. He continued pulling the string all around the staircase and also the whole house. He built it to catch bad guys. It was elaborate.
