Journey to Manhood

9/23/08 - I have come to the realization recently that I coddle Cooper too much. More often, I need to tell him to "buck up". It's fun to have a little boy dependent on me... but it's my job to train him to be a Godly man one day.

Cooper is a funny mix of small-boy-needing-the-comfort-of-his-mother and tough-guy-ready-to-be-a-man. Today he rode his scooter for a hilly mile to the park. He fell once and cried like a, well, a small-boy-needing-the-comfort-of-his-mother. A couple minutes later and a couple hundred yards farther, he raced along after his sister yelling in his tough-guy-ready-to-be-a-man voice, "I am speed!"

Little boys are fun.
