Upside Up

Cooper will lay down and say, "I'm upside down".  

Then he will sit up and say, "I'm upside up". 

It's precious, really.

Tonight we had an upside down moment.  As I'm cooking dinner and cleaning up poop for the third time today I call Andrew and leave the message, "When will you be home?  When will you be home?  When will you be home?" 

As he walks in the door, I'm sitting down to eat, Cooper is running around not listening to me...you know, classic Thursday evening.  Then Andrew tells me "Hey, did you know I'm not home tonight?  I'm shooting at the theatre." No, dear, you never told me that.  "I was afraid of that" says he.

So, after five minutes of hellos and goodbyes he's gone.  

And our evening is quickly turned upside down.  

But I decided to do something different.  I'm determined to have a good evening with Cooper.  We finished dinner, cleaned up, made popcorn, covered the living room with blankets and pillows, and are watching a movie.  

I don't know that I've ever gotten so many hugs, smiles, and exciting jumps from Cooper in an hour span.  

So, now I guess you could say our evening is "upside up".
