Almost Four


Cooper, you are spelling everything right now. You stop in your tracks when you see a word - it must be spelled. We can't get through a Bible story without you spelling out the title. You ask us how do you spell.....(anything that's on your mind)? Today we picked up a corn dog from Sonic and you of course wanted to know how to spell "corn dog" and "Sonic", so we sounded out the words together. Your dad and I have heard you practicing your phonics in your bed at night...."Ella" ~ "Eeelll LLLLaaaaa". So cute!

Every night you ask me what we're having for breakfast and then you also often ask what "fun thing" are we going to get to do? Your prayers involve that "fun thing" each day. Yesterday you prayed, "Dear God, thank you for this day that we didn't get to go to the library, but we'll get to go on Wednesday." I pray you are content when we spend many "fun" days at home with your new baby brother or sister.

You're dad and I are grateful as you are learning to serve others. You tell us, "I want to serve my sister first." (We're still working on the "I want" part).

You love trains, race tracks, building with blocks ~ and then knocking those buildings down, anything chocolate, lollipops, sharing a room with your sister, cuddling with anyone who will cuddle in return....

You're a lovable little guy and we know you are going to make the sweetest big brother (again). Happy soon-to-be 4th Birthday, Super Cooper!
