Cooper Marshall Le Johnson Le Day 20

Trivia time.  What do the Garden of Eden and our house have in common?  Yes. The garden of Eden gets a bad wrap, and rightfully so. I mean there was the whole serpent and forbidden fruit thing that led to the downturn of the entire universe, but that's not it. So, for a second, lets scrape that little tidbit off your plate, feed it under the table to the dog, and forget about it, and focus on the garden's cool perks.  In the garden, Adam got the awesome task of naming every animal.  How cool would that be?  Look at a giant four legged beast and say hmm...blabamat? No. Cutamonger? No. Oh. I got it.  Hippopotamus. Yep.  Definitely hippopotamus. Well.  Here's the connection. Kylie seems to have appointed herself the "Adam" of this house.  Afterall, she is responsible for "Amma", "Papa", "Ammy", "Marta", "LaLa", and "Doe".   Sorry Cooper.  She was here first so I guess she gets naming rights.  And, since she has naming rights, she took the liberty of giving Cooper a new name of his own.  Luckily for Nat and I, she kept the meat and potatoes, but added a twist.  Any time someone asks Kylie what her baby brother's name is, without hesitation, she responds, "Cooper Marshall Le Johnson Le".  And so it goes. Anyone know what the Department of Social Security charges for an official name change?

I think we have reached another parenting milestone.  An ah ha moment if you will.  One of those things that anyone who has ever been a parent of two will tell you, but nothing you understand until you experience it.  The first baby is still the bus driver and mom, dad, and the little one are just along for the ride.  Luckily for us, Kylie is a decent bus driver.  Today, our little coop got to come along on a number of adventures and he seemed enamored (don't be fooled by his age) with it all.  We went to story time this morning...he slept.  Kylie and I took a nap...he stayed awake. We went to Drayson Center for some pool time...he slept.  We walked to market night...he slept.  Anyone sensing a theme? Yep Cooper slept through some fun stuff today, but in all reality we probably wouldn't know what to do with two chidren who were awake at the same time anyway.  Keep sleeping my good man. Keep sleeping. :-)

More to come soon,
