Cooper and Love

We invited Aunt Faith and the kids over to the pool last Thursday. Thankfully our pool is heated and it wasn't to cold. It was a good day. Isaac has finally acclimated to the water and Hope and the boys love finding new things to do in the water.

Anyway, as we were packing up and getting everything gathered I kept hearing Cooper call for Hopey: "Hopey, Hopey, Hopey!!". She finally stopped what she was doing and turned to him and he said:

"Goodbye Hopey, I love you"..... I turned quickly to make sure there was no kiss to follow (don't worry Uncle Brian, there wasn't). Faith and I couldn't believe what had just happened. Usually Cooper has to be prodded repeatedly to go say goodbye to someone! It really did catch us off guard.

That is the first time Cooper has told someone that isn't family that he loves them......pretty "major" to us.

Anyway, I just thought I should record that one.

By the way, here is a pic of Hopey for those of you that haven't met her.
