Quality Time

"Mommy, play with me." I've learned that quality time is definitely Cooper's love language. When Caroline takes her morning nap, Cooper and I spend time together - playing or reading. I don't do dishes, check my email, or try to get anything else done so he can feel loved. After this time together, he gets some "room time" where I pick out some special toys for him to play with for 30 minutes. -This is when I get some stuff done. I've found he doesn't whine about room time if he and I have had some solid quality time beforehand.

This is Cooper's green "parking lot". I haven't taught him how to gamble yet:)

He is too cute! I got him a GSU gift for Christmas, and I hope that he likes it! I can't wait to see you guys! Baby Caroline will be 1 in a few days! :)

Love,Courtney

Bravo for you, Mommy! Believe me, as
all of us older mommies will say, how special it is to remember the quality time spent together!!Those ARE great
to recall!! I should write them down!! Still not too late!!
a P,S, here: Cooper kept asking me
to "come put him down for a nap", while he was here Friday. And I thought, well he DID wake up early!
But 9am sure was early to take a nap!
But, what he wanted, was my undivided attention! To talk to me
without having Sue or Van getting attention from me!Ha!! Finally, I had Sue go with us to the Putt-Putt
park at the end of Native Oak. Everyone was happy! Then, we ate a lunch and had the nap! So clever!!
Such nice manners and so helpfull,as well! Arriba!!
Amor para todos! Wella
