Catching up

One of Cooper's latest projects from school:

"Why doo I not hav a dog?"  Oof.  Let's talk about that later.  Like in 5-10 years.

Coop had his six-month check-up with the dentist.

He did a nice job sitting through the cleaning and x-rays.  Though Dr. Chris did tell us to go ahead and start saving for braces.  Greeeeaaaat.

Grandpa Cecil gave Cooper $20 for fireworks.  And we spent every last cent of it.

We had an ok time with the fireworks, except Cooper always forgets that he doesn't like loud noises.  So he spent part of the time in the house or with his ears covered.  He prefers smoke bombs and snakes (those ucky black tablets that you lights on fire to make them "grow").

Reading at the library:

Grandma Joan sent me a pineapple corer/slicer thing for my birthday.  This particular pineapple was a little mushy, so it didn't work perfectly, but Cooper loved drinking the pineapple juice straight from the fruit.
