I'll describe why he feels that way about them. They are so full of life and curiosity and pureness. While those are things that make us in awe of them and love them so much, those are also the things that drive us crazy. Cooper's curiosity has broken several windows, wasted lots of dish soap, flour, milk and vanilla yogurt. His openness and lack of inhibition is what makes him the best 2 year old hugger around. While his eyes are filled with mischief, they are also filled with adoration (for his sister especially) and love and wonder at the world and people around him. Tradd's curiosity leads to the catch of many bugs and lizards, the accumulation of much dirt outside, inside and all around our house (as well as the accumulation of tons of laundry). His imagination never stops and neither does his mouth!! Lately his mouth only stops talking long enough to consume volumes of expensive vanilla yogurt, blueberries and ham (also pricey). I'm in awe of his resilience even after I've lost my temper with them. He's always willing to offer forgiveness when I ask it. He's not as forgiving of his brother though. We've spent a great deal of time bandaging wounds (both physical and emotional) that Cooper the brutus has caused. Tradd's not 100% sure that Cooper can stay. Ha Ha! And then there's Coleman. I can't think of anything she does that drives me crazy. At least not yet. She's starting to get up on all fours so I'm sure to have a list of things she does that drives me crazy soon. What drives me crazy in love with her is her cuddly preciousness. She's just happy and cuddly and so easy to please. All our kids were this way so we are indeed very blessed!! We are also extremely well provided for. I'll write more later about all the details but our hard-wood floors are going to be restored and new windows put in while we're on vacation. These things and the recent yard makeover are gifts from wonderful friends and of course the Lord!!!! We are blessed beyond measure!! Meghan
