Angie just told me about Cooper playing wii today.  At one point he was losing the game, swordfighting on Wii Sports Resort and said to his mom ” time to okay shut this down now”,  and then proceeded to win the game.

Cooper really amazed me this morning. I had the ipad on in bed and it was really bright. Cooper woke up and said can you turn that down please.  I thought you meant turn it off. What is really bad place to turn the brightness app. I didn’t know how to do that. Cooper said “it’s easy daddy. All you do is press the square button twice. Then you slide it to the left and you adjust the brightness.”  At 4 years old he’s teaching me how to use the ipad. I am amazed. He is such a great boy.

Right now I am dictating this to the android galaxy tab in bed. Cooper is sitting next to me.  He wants to say something now. This is coopers turn:

Have fun

What he really said was ” we have to get the toys from the box and play with them tomorrow and play wii until it is dark”
Unfortunately he speaks very quickly and softly so it didn’t pick him up very well.

Cooper is so amazing. This morning in bed I told him that I had a special surprise for him downstairs. We all come down and I have a bag with our Wii in it now that it has been fixed by the Hortons, but I also had some other things in the bag.  I tell Cooper that the special surprise is in the bag, reach in and pull out a jar of garlic.  The smile never left his face, but you could see he was confused. He even said ‘thanks. So I told him that wasn’t all and pulled out some maple syrup. Again, no complaints but the smile dropped a bit.  Finally I told him that because he was so good at being grateful for the other presents I had one more for him. When I pulled it out, his eyes went so wide and he ran over and gave me the biggest hug.
I just love that he didn’t complain at getting a jar of garlic. Personally I would have been really happy to get a jar of garlic as a present.

Last night my son Cooper and I were watching a YouTube video of a grandpa using a gun to blow a hole in the side of an inflatable pool and right as it pops Cooper says “Holy shit!”

I had to stifle a laugh and tell him it isn’t appropriate .  Very funny.
