Sleeping Sitting Up

Our sweet Cooper is the proverbial "bull in a china cabinet" and a "wrecking ball".  He goes, goes, goes and knocks into most things in his way.  He has the sweetest (most opinionated) spirit, but he has very little coordination and quite a lot of speed.  This makes him absolutely hilarious and accident prone.  Dude falls down more than I thought a kid possibly could! 

Anyway, we worked hard at wearing the boys out on Monday.  The boys (big and little) went out on the traditional "Morning Ski" before breakfast when the water is like glass.  It is the best time to ski or wakeboard, so our boys are out there getting it while it's good.  So, they were out on the boat from 7:30-9:30 and then back out after a quick breakfast from 10:30-5:30.  It was a LONG day for them and I caught Cooper asleep sitting up at various points during the day.

I cannot believe how much fun we are having this year with the boys.  They are finally old enough to have some sense on the boat.  In previous years I was a ball of nerves just hoping they wouldn't try to climb out while we were cruising.  They even tubed with their cousins today!  We had a 2, 3, 4, and 5 year old out together on the tube all by themselves!  It was adorable and probably so memorable for them, too.  They were even giving us the thumbs up and thumbs down to go faster or slower.  So grown up!

Well, off to more vacationing!  We've been waiting and planning for this since Thanksgiving time…so I am savoring each and every moment.
