Our 3 Year Old

It is about time that I got around to posting about Cooper's birthday, which was nearly 3 months ago (can I really be that behind?).


We started his celebration at a place called Lollihop, which is an indoor play area. He and his two girlfriends, E and G had a great time. I was amazed at how good he was at climbing and jumping and sliding through all of the play things. He got to play in giant ball pits, ride on a train, drive a little electric car with Papa, climb and crawl through a giant maze, ride a play helicopter, jump on those big blow up bouncy things and on some trampolines as well. Aunt Tina came, too, and I was so happy to have someone else other than my pregnant self there to chase Cooper around. He tasted his first slushy, but wasn't a big fan. So, mom had to finish it for him. These are the sacrifices I am willing to make for my sweet boy! A trip to McDonald's for dinner on the way home was an added treat since there was no chance that Cooper would make it all the way home before falling fast asleep.


The next day, Peter's parents (Oma and Opa), Peter's sister (Aunt Tina), and Peter's Grandmother (Tik Tak Oma) came to our house and we enjoyed some cake and sang Happy Birthday to Cooper again.


Cooper, you are such a joy at 3. We are having a great time being your parents and watching you grow. You are the sweetest, most handsome, and tallest 3 year old we know. We can't even remember what life was like before we had you! We love you so much!
