Halloween 2010

Batman aka Sam

Buzz aka Cooper

Cooperman!!

Cooper is better told in pictures, I chose some that show so much of his personality! He is such a fun kid!
We are working on potty-training -but he's pretty much letting us know that this will be done on his terms!!

Since You've Been Gone...Sam

Oh wait, that's me that has been gone. For tooooo long I may add!

Sam started PreK back in August. It's been quite the adventure, for me - not him. The first day brought some tears (that was both of us), that day was torture! I took the day off and kept Cooper home with me for a distraction. I think most of the day Cooper was looking at me like - MOM your are crazy. And then when I picked him up he told me he had a GREAT day and has been excited to go back ever since. Thanks Sam!
I have also found a few opportunities to find out how he is doing.

Way #1: Email teacher to ask about how to fill Sam's lunch ticket, throw in at the end - how's he doing. Response: He's doing awesome! He's a joy to have in class.

Way #2: Back to school night. The teacher had asked for a dollar for some project. I didn't have a dollar, but I got in line anyway. When it was my turn - How's Sam doing, he tells me he never plays with any of his friends (basically needing to hear he wasn't a loner). Response: He plays with his friends, he's doing great.

Way #3: This one could be classified as a Mommy Faux Pa - I saw Sam's teacher at Target (SCORE she knows where to shop) and said Hi, how's your Saturday...and then it just came out - How's he doing? Response - He's doing great he is a well rounded child the type you want to have at least one of each year!

I'm convinced, he's doing okay. But I can't wait for Student Teacher Conferences in a few weeks, I'm going to ask her how I'm doing!

Sucker...

Sam: Moooooooooom, I'm all done pooping.

Mommy: You can't start prek until you know how to wipe your own bottom.

Sam: I do, at school. But you do at home.

Mommy: How long have you at school?

Sam: A long time. This long (big arms).

Cooper and His Posse!

Look Mom, No Cavities!

Sam LOVES, yes LOVES, going to the dentist!

Muscle Man!

Come Here Often??

Wow, I just realized it's been about 2 months since I stopped by. I keep thinking I should retire this blog so I don't feel guilty for my lack of updates. But, then again - I have some cute pictures and what I think are clever sayings to post. So I guess if it takes me 2 months to do it - so be it!

So, what's been going on around here? Sam is officially registered to start Pre-K at the "big school" and he should he did turn the big 4! I love this kid, what can I say! The things he can come up with just amaze me!

Cooper, officially acting like a 2 year old is Mr. Personality! I love him! He is stubborn and mean, but the sweetest boy you will ever meet. Seems funny that I can say that all in the same sentence but it's true. If you know him - you know it is!

Brotherly bond is stronger than ever! They really are best buds, just what we hoped would happen. They love to play and miss each other when they aren't together. My favorite time is at night after they go to bed. I hear them in their laughing and talking. Melts my heart, I can't even be mad that they won't go to sleep - it's just too sweet!

Well, I haven't completely got over my writers block, so I will just post some pictures and hopefully write more later. Thanks for sticking with me!

Story. By, Samuel Williams

Once upon a time I had a balloon. Mommy let it fly away. I miss my balloon so much. It's probably with God. No, it's with Santa he's higher than God. I miss my balloon.

Sleepy

Soocer Season Number One

In a nutshell - Sam had a ton of fun. He loved his Coach and enjoyed going and running. Sam is so sweet natured that he had trouble kicking the ball. Why? Because "Mommy I don't want to kick the ball away from them, they may cry." So sweet!!!
I also learned even at 3 year old soccer, you already have crazy sport parents! Sometimes the games got a little intense.
Our team of 3-year olds got creamed got each time! You don't keep score at these games, but believe me - we got creamed :o).
By far, his favorite part of the season - the team party at the park! We are going to wait a little while before we do another sports activity - but can't wait for it!!!! So proud of my Sam!

Some of My Favorite Cooper Phrases

He had a good appointment. The doctor gave us some advise on biting, which was he knows he can get away with it at school. UGH! We have to catch him the act at home - and hope that is brother will tell us he did it :o).
