Another Grateful Friday, another Grateful Birthday. Today I am grateful for the second of my babies. Cooper turned 7 this morning at 6:24...I think! Anyways, he is my sweet boy!
Yes Cooper you are still as sweet as ever. Just so innocent and kind. Always remembering your Please's and Thank You's. The only time I ever see you worked up is when you are fighting with your brother or sister. I do think that you have finally figured out that when you cry, I will do whatever you want. But even so, you don't take advantage of it. I can't say that I have figured you out though. You are kind of shy and introverted so sometimes it is hard for me to figure out "who you are".
You are currently obsessed with Ford F series trucks. I hear about every F250 and F350 that we see on the road. I also know that there are up to F750's and also an E series commercial van. And if by chance it is a dually, well kiss my grits, there's gonna be a party!
You love to draw and right now your subject of choice is Ford pickup trucks, see previous paragraph!
I am excited to see what kind of man you grow into being.
I hope you stay as thoughtful and gallant as you are now. Always holding the door and wanting to help out. You love to help me cook dinner. The other night I needed the step stool to reach the flour on the top shelf. You got it for me and steadied it with your foot while offering your hand so I wouldn't fall. I nearly did fall trying to see through the tears welling in my eyes.
You have become quite the fisherman this summer. You and daddy and Pappy have spent lots of time on the boat, you like to call her The Red Pearl, but unfortunately I think daddy vetoed that name. We are headed to the beach house later tonight because you wanted to go fishing for your birthday.
You are so excited about starting at your new school next week and meet some new friends. You want to have a sleepover so badly. You have seen Abbie have sleepovers with her friends and you get so sad.
This fall you want to play basketball. Right now that is your favorite sport, other than fishing of course. We have to get a new basketball goal because we had to leave your old one behind when we moved. You were not at all happy about that.
I Love You my sweet boy! Happy Birthday! Time to go to the Beach!!
