A Little Male Influence


Apparently, all Cooper needed to jump start the talking was a little male influence. He likes to point to people in pictures and ask, "Ma?" That is his way of asking, "Whose that?" Today, he pointed to a picture of Papa Dean and asked, "Ma?" I said, "That's Papa." And Cooper said........"Papa." Clear as day. Now he runs up to the picture and says "Papa".

To kill time yesterday while Layla was in school, I took Cooper to the mall where I was happy with endless Starbucks and he was happy with unlimited time in the play area with no other kids. I then took him up to Scheels where they have numerous stuffed birds, elk, moose, deer, etc. He walked around, looking at them in amazement and stillness, breathlessly whispering, "wow....wow.....wow....wow..." And then proceeded to point and say "duck" 1000 times. I guess all the little man needed was some male influence.

He is also now calling Layla La-La. So stinkin' cute!

Cain was at the Jordan Creek play area and Scheels yesterday too with my dad, too bad they did not see each other.
