i suppose it is a legitimate question. i had to explain to her that she was smart for a 4 year old. she is obviously dealing with some stuff, because she also wanted to know later on why she gets treated like a little girl. i had to break the news to her that she truly is a little girl.



cooper completed his first full sentence besides, "love you." it involved the trampoline at the stewarts..."my turn." it was spoken very clearly with precision, attitude and force!



the kids have been playing doctor a lot. cooper makes a great patient and loves to be doctored with chapstick (which he calls "chap") and scarves and toilet paper. he likes to be served and doted upon. imagine that!
