August 2006
8/18: Cooper asked me to take his shorts and underwear off for him to get in the bathtub. I said he should do it and he told me he couldn't because he had 'pantsatitis.' When I asked what that was, he said "It's where you don't like to touch your underwear for some reason"
8/25: Cooper and Elizabeth were having lunch. Cooper asked Elizabeth "Do you think someday you'd like to marry me?" Elizabeth said "Yes!"
8/28: Cooper was telling Mom that the dark bathroom was 'spooky'. He has a hard time with certain blend sounds and pronounces 'spooky' like 'fooky.' Michelle was trying to get him to say spooky right, said the word many times, and then asked Cooper if he could say spooky. Cooper responded “Yeah.......it was really haunted"
8/29: Cooper was doing some preschool worksheets. I told him that it said to circle the green picture in each of three rows. I had to run upstairs to do something and when I came back he told me he was done and he'd done the other side of the sheet too. I looked at it and both sides were done correctly. I asked him how he had done the other side because it was different (he had to find the orange picture in each row). He told me he had read the instructions. I reminded him that he can't read. Then he said. "Well, there's an orange picture in each row and that's the only color that was in each row!"
8/29: Cooper was doing some preschool worksheets. There were some that were 'Go-Togethers' and he needed to cross out the one that didn't go with the others. One row had a sheep, a fox, and a pig. He looked at it for just a second and then said "Oh...the fox isn't a farm animal!"
After Red Rocks we toured downtown and after lunch drove to the top of Mt. Evans which tops out at 14,254 ft.
