Marble Run

As bedtime neared, Cooper was hard at work building another marble track to race his marbles down.  He called us all into his room to watch the marbles roll down his latest creation.  This is one of his favourite activities at the moment and he is really good at building different tracks in all different shapes and sizes.

Snakes

Cooper was in his room napping when multi-coloured snakes started appearing under his door.   Not only does New Zealand not have any multi-coloured snakes, there are no snakes in the wild.  That is except in Cooper’s room.

Jumping

We have two very fun, giant trampoline places by us and the best part is Cooper is almost free with a paid adult (me).  Cooper loves jumping high and off almost anything, completely opposite of Ellie when she was young.  He can jump and spin around.  He also likes jumping and then bouncing on his bottom.  He hasn’t figured out how to bounce up from sitting and he doesn’t care at all.  He just laughs and jumps again.  He couldn’t jump far enough to make it into the foam pit unless I helped him jump high and then pushed (threw) him into the pit. 

Yogurt

How many spoons does Cooper need to eat yogurt?  The answer is 4.  Three in the yogurt cup and a spare on the table.

Cootie Bug

Cooper has always loved this game and making the bugs without playing the game.  He has always had problems getting the feet on.  This was his first time being able to create the whole bug.  He was so proud and showed us his colourful creation.  

Olaf – Best friend

Cooper loves his Olaf.  It is his one special stuffed toy.  I was lucky to catch this amazing moment of Cooper quietly reading Ellie’s Frozen Olaf book to Olaf.

Inflatable World

Ellie and Cooper were invited to a birthday party at Inflatable World.  They had a blast!  Cooper is still small enough to go in the little kids bouncy castles but brave enough to venture with the big kid into the large slides and inflatable courses.
