What do you get when you cross a monkey and a human?

COOPER!
Oh my heck!!! I was on the phone with my mom and the kids (who were playing in the backyard) come in yelling "Cooper is in trouble!!!!" Now before you think that I don't watch my son, I need to explain this child! I thought I had Cooper-proofed our backyard! We have locked ALL storage sheds because he has found every tool, lawnmower, trimmer, water cooler, shovel, gas can, and pretty much everything he shouldn't get into. We have "Cooper-proofed" the gates because he can get out of them and when he does he instantly runs for the road. We have locked our sprinkler box because the sprinklers were being turned on all the time. I could go on but it kind of gets ridiculous! Cooper has alot to do in the back yard that is productive! There is a swingset, big wheels, basketball hoop, sandbox, a tee ball set and MANY other activities! I do watch my son but on this particular day I thought I had discovered every dangerous thing so I thought maybe he would be safe for a few minutes. Well to get back to my story I ran outside to see what was going on and found him ON TOP OF THE SHED! Our shed is actually taller than the house by about a foot. I could have died! The thing that upset me the most was that while I was running to get him the thought crossed my mind to run and get my camera! Nobody will believe this, I have to BLOG IT!!! What is wrong with me! Cooper was climbing around the shed at least ten feet above ground and I was about to turn around, run back in the house and get my camera! Can you say child protection! I sure hope I have learned my lesson! Never underestimate a two-year old!!! So, here is a picture of Cooper. I sure do love this kid!

Oh my heck!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have died! Preston is into EVERYTHING too, and it's true, it's not like we arn't watching them. I think they just wait for the perfect opportunity to make their move. They have the same birthday don't they? Sep. 20th, maybe there was something in the air that day sounds like their both little dare devils......

oh my gosh. I would have been freaking out. He is so cute though, it is probably so hard getting mad at such a cute face.

Holy cow, I would have died. You are going to be one busy mom, well you already are, but you will not be able to let him out of your sight ever.

I would have thought the same thing, that's why you should ALWAYS have your camera WITH you! Ha Ha, that's just CRAZY!
