Big News: Cooper is pretty much potty trained. He still has an accident now and then but our boy is now in undies full time! He also is in a big boy bed. We had originally planned on keeping him in the crib for a while. But after staying at Grandmas for a week (during Ike) he got home and thought I needed to sleep with him. After six nights of sleeping on his floor or him in our bed and waking up three to five times a night....we had it! We got a knob that trapped him in his room, bought a twin size bed, and got ready for battle. But when we put him in bed he cried, ran to the door, played with the doorknob, reached his chubby little hand under the door, and cried...for about one minute! Then he fell asleep. That was it! I wish I had done it sooner. The next night when I laid him down he said, "Mama I not cry!" Then he rolled over and fell asleep. What a champ!
Realization: I am old. Evidence: A fifth grader asked me if my 23 year old intern was my daughter. I was shocked! I asked him how old he thought I was, he answered 49! Really? I don't feel any older than 20. But apparently I am ancient.
Here are some random pictures!

I'm afraid I'm going to be one of those people who sees someone I graduated with and think "They look so OLD!" when really, I look just as old and don't know it. If it's any comfort, I don't think you look like you could have a 23 yr old daughter. And if you happen upon a great wrinkle cream (cuz I would've bought some that day if it were me...) please share. I'm in the market.
Our boy sure is growing up fast. Potted trained? Sleeping in his own bed? Wow. Where oh where does the time go. But after all we all knew he was amazing and a child prodigy. He looks so cute. I am glad that Shaun shaved the next thing you know he'll be looking at tattoos. Glad Ike didn’t do much damage and you guys are back in the saddle. Wish we could be there to see ya’ll. We miss you like crazy. Looking forward to seeing you in 3 weeks. Just can’t wait. We love you all very much.
Hilarious story about your student. Cooper is such a little smarty- I can't believe he's out of diapers! You will love that so much when #2 comes along. BTW- how tall are your ceiling b/c Cooper really looks like he's flying in that last picture. Miss you girlie.
Oh, wow...Jeff and Shaun are really soul mates now with that mustache!! Jeff's new name is Carlos and I think Shaun should be Paco. Love the pics of Coop!!
I sure enjoyed talking to Coop on the phone yesterday. I started laughing when you couldn’t get your phone back because he wasn’t done. I am very impressed that he talks so gown up. I just can’t believe he is going to have a BD. Where does the time go? He is potty trained to boot. WOW!!! Love you all 3 lots and am so looking forward to seeing you. You and Drea need to look at Jocie’s blog. She spoke of you both.
Thats a really attractive pic of Shaun! haha 49 huh... Thats too funny! Miss yall seems like its been awhile!
Coop is becoming such a little man! Wow he has changed so much just since July. I guess that is what big kid pants do. Aimee I am sure you are glad that shaun shaved the stash...it wasn't the most attractive thing. Sorry Shaun I know that bruises your ego!
When I was reading the part about the porn stash...I was really confused. I was still confused until I saw Shaun's picture. Don't scare me like that...I had crazy thoughts running through my mind!!!! :) lol
Shaun: No.
Amy: That kid is dumb. You are definitely twenties.
Cooper: Please teach my 3 year old how not to pee in her bed.
Our ceilings are 18 feet I think. soShaun is really flinging him up there!
