Cooper teething and teething some more

Cooper got another tooth to break through on the bottom. so now he has 3 on the bottom and 2 on the top. there is another one on the bottom that hasn't broken through the gums yet. and he's got about 4 on the top that are in there just working their way to the surface. He's got really sensitive spots where those teeth are - all red and raw looking.
we are about to have an eventful month. but knowing Coop it wont really be eventful at all.

Cash told me tonight that he loves scary movies. which is true because he can't get enough of scary things like the monsters in "Scooby Dooby" or the Abominable Snow Monster in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. He says that he likes movies to be scary just like daddy does.
He also told me that he likes his life. so that's nice.

Good Mom

Last night Cash told me i was a bad mommy. He stayed up way too late and finally went to 9pm i wouldn't let him read a story. He argued, i stayed firm. and he said that i was talking too loud and that was what bad mommies do. needless to say, that wasn't exactly how i wanted him to go to sleep but i didn't want to keep him awake any longer to talk about this...
So, today, i talked to him about it. He said that today i was a good mommy because i take care of babies and i play with guys. I asked him what bad mommies do and he said they make babies cry.

It's Christmas Time

we put up the tree this morning and when we plugged in the lights Cash's eyes got as big as saucers. He said, "wow! Santa is really gonna love this."
