Happy 5th Birthday Dear Cooper

Dear Cooper,

Where have 5 years gone?  It seems like you were just a chubby cheek baby not so long ago.  You are one funny but independent (hard-headed kid).  I never know what you are going to say or do next, but it is guaranteed to either make me laugh or aggravate me.  You never fail on that front.  You are smart and give your JK teacher a run for her money, but your afternoon teacher (K) keeps you in line.

You haven't had your checkup yet, so I'm not sure of your height/weight.  But it's safe to say you are head taller than all the other 4/5 year olds.  You continue to be the gentle giant looking after the smaller kids.  I hope that is a role you always keep.  You are often still a love bug, which your Dad and I try to remember to take every hug, kiss, and cuddle every chance we get.

I'm going to try to remember to ask you these questions for the next couple of years.  I can't say I was surprised at any of the answers, but you often had your funny twist.
