So it's been ages.....

So it's been ages and ages since I posted and I don't even know where to begin. I think that instead of trying to backtrack and cover the whole summer, I will just start fresh today. Maybe you'll get some out of order posts later if I get around to it!

Yesterday was Cooper's 4th birthday. He was soooo excited to be "Big Enough". He spent all day telling me what he is big enough to do now that he is 4. First, he said that he is "Big Enough" to go out of the neighborhood by himself. Unfortunately I had to correct that misconception, much to his dismay. Later he told me he was "Big Enough" to play Webkinz World. After that it was "What AM I "Big Enough" to do now?", as if turning 4 magically changed him overnight into a new and improved, more responsible, taller and all around BIGGER boy. He's growing up too fast!

We went to Johnny Moo's for dinner, per the birthday boy's instructions. We took Dorothy Butters with us, who is Cooper's bestest friend. Dorothy's mom, Tracey, decided that since they were well chaperoned it didn't quite count as a "date". Dorothy did, however, come dressed in her best party dress for the occassion. Here are some fun pictures we took:
Cooper is well known at Johnny Moo's. He always makes friends wherever he goes! The manager loves Cooper and always gives him suckers when we go.
Dorothy Butters has got to be one of the cutest kids I have ever met!
At least one of the kids ate their meal.
Cooper was proud to have his name on the birthday board.

The lego table at Johnny Moo's holds some secret draw that no other lego table can beat. For some reason the kids love legos at Johnny Moo's but don't play with them anywhere else! We have legos at home - not as interesting.....
