My Bookends

My bookends. My big and my little. 10 and 3 months.

I’ll tell ya this much. They don’t pay too much attention to each other. Their worlds rarely intersect. But if anything comes close to falling (or jumping) on that baby…ahem…like a toddler brother…Cooper is the first to give a holler to let me know. That’s something special if you ask me.

Also, see Cooper’s treasures? The items around him?

He’s loving brown and white paper right now. He has a whole stack.

Those photos? They are from my trip to Scotland my senior year of college. I went with my boyfriend. He dug them out of my memory box in the basement. See we forgot too lock the door and he is opportunistic.

I about spit out my coffee this morning when I came face to face with me kissing my college boyfriend while dancing on what appears to be a table. Or a bar. I can’t be sure. Being 19 looks exhausting.

Anyhow, they are his favorite.

Also mixed in are his favorite train coasters and a white hanger. Because they make him happy. Which makes me happy.

Cooper is the most fascinating soul you will ever meet. I can say that for certain.

Get to know a person like him. It will be so worth it.

Finding Cooper’s Voice is a safe, humorous, caring and honest place where you can celebrate the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child. Because you’re never alone in the struggles you face. And once you find your people, your allies, your village….all the challenges and struggles will seem just a little bit easier.
