A Half Day In The Life With Cooper!

Wake up 8-9 a.m. to find, pillow, blanket and all stuffed animals all thrown out of the crib and on the floor and a few new teeth marks on the side of the crib. Bring kids downstairs for breakfast. Put Cooper on living room floor go into kitchen to get breakfast ready. Reach into refrigerator for milk and hear loud slam; this is the garbage being knocked over. Turn around to see Cooper crawling off with a hand full of old uneaten yogurt from night before. Follow with rag cleaning up the handprints on the floor. Finish getting cereal ready and get sippy cups ready. Pull Cooper off the stairs, get Emily in her high chair, pull Cooper off the stairs again. Get Cooper in his highchair put cereal on his highchair, watch cereal going flying in every which way, let him finish making a mess and pull out vacuum. Vacuum dining room floor for the first time, put vacuum away...realize that he has stashed cherio's by his legs go to get him out of highchair say "Cooper Joseph" he smiles and go to retrieve the vacuum again. Finish breakfast put Cooper on the floor with a few toys in front of him. he quietly plays for a good 5 minutes and then makes his rounds around the house touching the things he knows he is not suppose to touch. Eat a few books, hit the window with a few toys, play with the fireplace, (I debated getting a leash for him...decide it is not humane) Finally get frustrated with Cooper around 12-1 and put him down for a nap. He protest for a good 5 minutes and then falls asleep. Wakes up around 3 bring him downstairs put him on living room floor. I go to the bathroom, then pull Cooper off the stairs and put him in the living room AGAIN! Start making dinner. Find out he has figured out how to open the pantry door (oy!) and see him playing with a chewed open pudding container. Bust out the rag; again, and clean up his artistic painting on the chest freezer and the pudding in his hair. Pull Cooper out of closet and block with box. Continue Cooking dinner...you get the idea ;)!
