My love...

 

 

SNOW! Again...

We've had snow twice in two weeks. I've lived in Georgia for about 28 years and I cannot remember having snow twice in one winter...but, truth be told, some days, I can't remember what I ate for dinner the night before, lol

I like my crazy eyes in this pic...and, Coop's look of "another pic?" makes me laugh. 

 

Literally, every thing started to melt like 3 hours later...lame. 

 

Ice, Ice, baby!

We've had such a weird winter in Georgia!  Last week, we had snow but mostly ice and this week it's been in the high 60's and low 70's!  Last Wednesday, we stayed indoors while outside became a sheet of ice.  At least with snow, you can go outside and play but with ice there isn't anything else to do but tv, crafts and other shenanigans...So, here are some of our shenanigans!

Reading and snacking on a banana in the kitchen...

Just being cute...

I just thought he looked funny...I was bored, lol 

Truth be told, I didn't know it was Abe Lincoln's birthday until we read some of Coop's highlight calendar...

Daddy time!

 Daddy took a half day from work and we spent the afternoon at the aquarium!  Coop was really excited to have the extra time with his daddy.  I literally just snapped pics and daddy and Coop did their bonding :) 

I snapped this pic of the whale shark and edited it on my phone!  I was pleased with myself, lol 

We live in the best part of metro Atlanta because we are literally 20 minutes from the fun.  So, with that in mind, we have an annual membership to the zoo, aquarium and we now have a membership for the children's museum!  Coop loves this place and 2 hours flies by so it's money well invested in the memory making department!

A daily dose of love...

Beginning on February 1st, I started leaving Coop a little love note on his bedroom door.  All the notes were little things that we love about  him.  I decided that I'd skip the normal Valentine card for him and give him these daily notes instead.  He really enjoyed them and I actually haven't had the heart to remove them yet!  

The highlight of my week...

I have other stuff from the week to blog about but I want to discuss the highlight of my week which was Coop receiving the most resilient award in his class!  I cannot put into words to explain how it felt to hear his name being called out and him walking up to the stage while an entire room clapped for him.  It was a priceless moment and a morning that will live in my memory for years and years to come.  I'm POSITIVE that this is only the first of many awards that he'll receive (because he's perfect says the unbiased mommy, lol) but this first award has made me the proudest mommy on the face of the Earth!  I've never questioned his potential even after the Autism diagnosis and I'm proud of all his hard work in school, at therapy and at home (poor kid rarely gets a break!) so for him to receive the most resilient award seems appropriate!

We're very proud parents!  Can you tell? :)
