Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, but especially my mom & my mother-in-law.
My mom has offered to watch Cooper so I can relax today so when I'm not crying because I miss him (we're not separate much & I'm a little crazy, not to mention pregnant & hormonal), I plan to spend my mother's day: watching tv that isn't Elmo & getting to hear every line, peeing alone & with the door closed, and eating food while it's hot & I'm sitting down. Aaaahhhh...

The ankle- (and face-) biters
A dog that intends to bite does not bare its teeth.
-Turkish Proverb
I learned this one the hard way. Cooper's bitten me several times, but not recently and usually just when he's teething. I think he's bitten John once or twice. He's never bitten another kid. Until last week.
We spent a few days with my parents, Dayna, Zak, & Caycee. Within hours of me & Cooper arriving, he & Caycee had a small tiff & suddenly she was screaming. I had no idea what happened until I saw her face start to turn red. Yep, he bit her on the face. What is wrong with my child? He bit several more times, & made several attempts. Time-outs didn't work at all (he laughed & played), so he got swatted on the butt a couple times. That seemed to get the message across at least. Luckily, Zak & Caycee (& Dayna) were very forgiving, although Zak & Caycee did yell, "Don't bite me!" when Cooper would chase them. I guess I can't blame them.
Coolest park ever

My loot from the onesie swap
On Wednesday the package of onesies & shirts my swap partner made for me arrived at my house. Unfortunately, I wasn't there because me & Cooper were spending a couple days with my parents. We got home tonight & I got to sort through my loot. I got some really great stuff! Five onesies for the baby and 3 shirts & 2 onesies for Cooper. I may have mentioned to my partner that I have a Dr. Seuss obsession...
The middle one is for the baby; the other two are Cooper sized.
It's difficult to see in the picture, but this one says "Priceless"
Made especially for Cooper's 2nd birthday.
Cooper's wearing a Dr. Seuss backpack my partner included in the package. She included lots of extra goodies: a tiny stuff animal, some bath fizzies that dye the water different colors, a framed Dr. Seuss drawing, and felt food - green eggs & ham! Oh, and an awesome placement/playmat with car fabric on one side & chalkboard material on the other!
