True American

In my perfect world I try to get Cooper up 30 minutes or so before Wyatt so I can have one on one time with him. Cooper is a SLOW riser and is very affectionate in the morning so I look forward to our time. The following is a conversation we had this morning, not unlike other mornings.

The set-up: Brian had left a pair of his boxers in the living room, they look like the American Flag.

Cooper: Coming into the living room, just after dragging himself out of bed. "Uh-oh."
Me: "What's wrong?"
Cooper: "The American flag fell, Oh-no!"
Me: "What?!" I have no idea what he is talking about because I'm in the kitchen . . . cooking a gormet breakfast, in my size three jeans. Hush. This is my story!
Cooper: Bringing me the boxers/American Flag. "The American flag fell, Mom, put it up high." "Okay?"
Me: "Great idea, I will put it up high next time!" Didn't feel like telling him it was just his dad's underwear. Plus, I was amazed at what he knew to do with the flag. American soldier in training.
Cooper: "Can I have some chocolate?"

*Sigh* When will he forget about his Halloween candy. I've almost eaten it all anyway.

You should have hung Brian's shorts on the flag pole outside!
That would have been so cute. It sounds like Cooper has Halloween down to a science. He will be an expert next year. See you next week for the big 3!
