His own vocabulary.


conkuation: punctuation
This one is especially funny when he sings the punctuation song... "conk, conk, conk-conkuation!"
He knows that a comma is where we stop to take a pause, a period is where the sentence comes to a complete stop and and exclamation point is used when you want to make a point! Reading time each evening is taking a little longer as he is noticing all the punctuation in his books, but it's fun to hear his explanation of everything. He's doing so great with his reading, I'm surprised every night that he can handle the next book in the series easily. He's patient with himself and if he doesn't know a word right away, he takes the time to sound it out to himself and then move on. I'm glad that reading is fun and satisfying to him.

redults: adults
"When I am a redult... "there are so many cool things that are going to happen when he is a redult!

repostles: apostles
"please can we hear the repostle song again?" "mom, there is one of my repostles!"

avealith: revealeth
This word was in his part he memorized for the primary program. I didn't even try to correct it, the rest of the part was perfect!

Today we were in the car, and after three children howling like coyotes for quite a few blocks, I couldn't take it anymore. I requested (nicely) that mouths be shut for a few minutes so I could hear myself think. Very quietly from the very back seat I hear, "are you my conscience?" I could not hold it together, I laughed out loud.

He's also attempting to count to 100, so I hear 1-49 about 49 times a day. Fifty is tricky to remember, but last week we were only at 39, so there's progress!


He's a good little negotiator, always trying to bargain his way to a deal that is favorable for him.


I love him. and I love 8:00 p.m. when he's down and out. we both need a solid night to prepare for whatever he has in store for me the next day.

I loved reading that. I was smiling the whole way through. I love that you included so many different things about him so that I could get a little "taste" of Cooper. Thanks.

Oh man. I can't wait for the day when I can meet Cooper in real life. Sounds like he's got a lot of life in him!

Love the conscience comment. I probably would have said, "Yes, and you should always follow what i say!" Very cute.
