He helped me mix the batter, and only got a little on the floor, counter, stove top, coffee maker. The joys of cooking with a 3 year old, but we did have fun.
As you can tell from the last series, the silly phase has started.

Breakfast for dinner
Cooper is going through this phase right now where he tells me, "I don't like dinner." Well, terrific. Since it was just the two of us tonight, and I had to find another option than what he requested. A candy cane. I threw out the idea of pancakes. That actually got a "yeah Mommy" response from him.

Cooper's First Tar Heel Game
I can't believe I hadn't been to a game since college (please no one chime in on how long that has been), and now Cooper is 3 and we hadn't taken him yet. So, off to Charlottesville we went to hopefully see the Heels beat up on the Hoos.
I will add one more embarrassing story to the mix. J took him to the bathroom after half-time and they ran into the UVA Dance Team. I guess one of them waved at Cooper, and he took that as a sign that she was interested. As they took off down the hall, Cooper started chasing them and telling his "Hotties, please wait." I am mortified. His father was very pleased. And the concessionaire who witnessed it was almost falling over laughing.
Go HEELS!
Still a little on the tired side, but ready to cheer them on.
Yes, our seats were in the nose-bleed section but we actually saw two other couples there that we know from Richmond.
He was very intent ... on finding the Cavalier mascot. He must have asked a million times where the guy was.
Yes, Daddy let him have his first funnel cake. He wasn't too impressed.
Neither were the Tar Heels, but they did eek out a win.
And we made it to the car just in time for a post-game crash.

Christmas Eve
We had a houseful of family and friends for Christmas this year. Both sets of Cooper's grandparents and my sister and her husband came for a visit.
Spreading reindeer food with Dad.
Making sure he had maximum coverage so the reindeer could find his house.
Grammy reading the Polar Express to other family members who couldn't be with us.
Cooper convinced everyone in the room to help him with a very difficult puzzle. They were happy to pitch in and help the little guy.
I made everyone take a test play a game to see how many logos they could come up with.
Cooper putting out his first milk and cookies for Santa. He chose a decorated Christmas tree from Uncle Dave and a peanut butter blossom. Luckily Poppa told him to only give Santa a little milk because he couldn't drink too much at one house.
A big squeeze for Mom before he headed off to bed. Right before he went, we heard jingle bells in the backyard. This momentarily frightened him, but then he was already to be asleep. After a reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas from Dad, he was down for the count.

Wordless Wednesday - Bounce House Fun
In honor of Cooper's best girl friend's birthday, we spent a not so quiet afternoon at one of those bounce house places. The kids had a blast.

Cooper's Christmas List 2010
Cooper thinks he has this all figured out. Maybe he does, but J and I haven't a clue.
When I picked him up from school, his teacher shared this story with me. She said she wrote it all down because he was so animated about it. He was remembering how Santa Poppa showed him the bells from his sleigh with their recent visit.
He has since changed his order to a big box of snowballs, which we neglected to go out and gather after the latest snowfall. Maybe we can still stick one in the freezer. But we are stumped on the "Big Daddy Present." And now another kid in his class wants one too. I'm sure his parents are very pleased with Cooper.
We had a discussion trying to figure this present out. He said that it was big and orange, and had a star on it. Still no clue. After this went on for several days, I asked him if maybe it was a bike. His response, "Yeah!"
We are keeping our fingers crossed. He said this morning that he wanted lots of presents under his little tree in his room and the big tree downstairs. either way, all this should be a very interesting Christmas morning.
He has been so funny and animated with all the stories he tells us. He recently spent part of a snow day playing with Play Dough while reciting the Night Before Christmas with intermingled verses of Jingle Bells. Cooper also thinks that Santa is coming to put the star on top of our tree. We are definitely leaving that for a little Christmas magic.
Hope you are having a wonderful time prepping for the family time to come.
