If you give a Cooper a green marker


If you give a Cooper a green marker, he will want a piece of paper to draw on.

When you give him the paper, he will get carried away and draw on both sides.

When he notices that both sides are full, he will draw on the table.

Only using the green maker on the table will become boring to him, so he will use the orange marker too.

When he is all done, he will stand back and admire his art work.

Looking at his art work full of greens and oranges will remind him of the pumpkin he wants to be for Halloween.

He will decide he needs to draw a picture of a pumpkin.

He will need a new drawing surface, so he figures his face will do.

He will get started with the orange marker, drawing the body of the pumpkin.

Then he will remember that his pumpkin needs a stem.

And chances are, if he needs to draw a stem, he will need to use the green marker.

I do have to say that he is an adorable pumpkin! At least he has artistic talent right? Why do they decide that their skin is the best place to draw on? Anyways, the stomach measuring ahead actually matches the ultrasound measurements so unfortunately I can't blame her size on which way she lies, I just hope she gets out of there before she is to big to do it on her own!
