"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Cooperisms

Cooper started *really* talking a couple months ago and he says the funniest things. I thought I'd record a few here on the ol' blog before they slip away from me.

Today we went to the midwife, whom Cooper calls the "baby doctor." She let Cooper push the button on the doppler to hear the baby's heartbeat, to which Cooper exclaimed: "There is a ghost in Mom's tummy!!"

When he says the word 'music' he mixes up the S and the C, so he says "mucis." Its not uncommon to hear Cooper say, "Turn up the mucous!" while riding in the car.

Last week, he was throwing a tantrum in Target and I told him he was being naughty. He very angrily replied to me: "Me not a naughty boy, me a busy boy."

Justin got new glasses about a month and a half ago. After two days of Justin wearing them, Cooper finally noticed. He told Justin: "Those no your glasses Daddy. You no have doctor glasses." Apparently to a two year old, they look like glasses a doctor would wear.
