Must See TV
Tuesday night is Wipeout night at the Cooper house. Jack LOVES this show...and he is convinced that I should go on. He really insists that I try it...yeah, right. Have you seen this show? It's crazy! I love my son with all my heart, and I hate to disappoint him...but there is no way I'd ever do this...

young love...
Jack and Christina really do love each other. Well, on most days. But then there are some days, like this one, where they just seem to have more issues than normal. These 2 have literally grown up together...they are 3 weeks apart and since we are close friends with her parents, they see each other quite often. At the beach club, we had an incident with a sand castle. Jack was REALLY mad at Christina, as you can see in the picture. She, was un-phased by the whole thing, as you can see in the picture.
Maybe they've been in a relationship too long?
Don't worry...some 'Smores made it all better...
life is a...
CIRCUS!
We had fun at the circus...Jack & I, and his best buddy from school (and his mom, too.).
The seats were great...and the $12 cotton candy was good, too.
(Yes, it really was $12...I know. Yes, I paid $12 for it...I know. But it's the circus, how can you NOT have cotton candy?!)
classic circus elephants...and the highlight for 2 boys entering Kindergarten...can you guess?
Yes, the elephants pooped! (insert giggling boys here!)
That was all I could think of during the above act....

letter to a table
Dear Train Table,
**I can't believe I just wrote a letter to a table....
It has been a good 3.5 years. You have given Jack HOURS and HOURS of joy, creativity, and fun. You were the reason our office became known as "the train room".
You may have noticed, table, that Jack's tiny hands have grown. You may have noticed that when he comes into "the train room" it is usually to use the computer, not you. I imagine that has been hard for you. I know he still loved you, but he has other things on his mind now...robots, space travel, Kindergarten...I think trains will always be in his heart, but, he has made room for other things.
We decided last week that it may be time to move a new table into the office. With homework to do and a blooming desire to create fantastic artwork and write stories and books, Jack will be needing his own desk. Jack was very sad, but he understood. What made it easier was knowing you would be going to a wonderful new home, with a wonderful new friend. I promise you will be played with much more than you had been lately at our house.

We will miss the layouts and adventures...and the smiles...
Thank you, train table.
