Transformers

Cooper loves transformers right now. In fact, I have bought him quite a few of them lately. He sleeps with them every night. He watches the animated transformers every morning when he wakes up. I will catch him making transformer sounds and he pretends he is transforming. He loves to just stand there and play with them. Last night he told Bryce that he was Optimus Prime. I asked Cooper who he was. He said, "I am Megatron." I said, "Who am I?" He said, "You are a mommy." So cute.

Bryce found some old school transformer shows on YouTube so Cooper thinks those are pretty neat to watch. Also, we will be driving down the road and Cooper will see a semi truck and yell, "It's Optimus Prime." Or he will see a little yellow sports car or beetle and say, "There's bumble bee."

The only setback is that I have to transform these transformers a million times a day. And some of them are a real pain.

Cooper has to have his transformers sitting by him when he is watching the movie...same as his planet heroes and his woody and buzz light year when he is watching "Toy Story"

I have to agree with my sister in law, Jen, when she said that there are things that we swore we wouldn't do when we became mothers, but now that we are mothers, we have changed our outlooks. One of those for me is that I wasn't going let my kids wear clothes with cartoons on them. For example, Cooper's favorite sweatshirt right now, is a Spiderman sweat shirt. His favorite shirts are the ones with Lightning McQueen on them. How do you say no when they get so excited about these characters on their clothes.
