To the Drawing Board

Derek has a big white board in the man-cave basement.
It's one of Cooper's favorite places to be.

We were all down there looking at something for a while yesterday and I was shocked when I turned around to see Cooper had written his name!  What you don't see it?  Just use your imagination a little and the letters are all there.  I promise.  :)

Miles was closely watching Cooper's skills.  Of course he watches everything Cooper does very closely.
I'm afraid he's stock piling a to-do list for fun things to do when he gets bigger.

Meanwhile Cooper had another project going.

It's a pirate!  What?  You can't see that one either?  You clearly don't have as much imagination as I do.
(My sisters will tell you mine's always been a little overactive anyhow.)
He has a crooked nose and an eye patch.  He's a nice pirate, just ask Cooper.

  6. I love the amazement of seeing your child write their name for the first time. Cooper seems to be a little ahead of schedule! You are right that Miles is planning to do LOTS! He has a big brother teaching him...LOTS!
