Cooper - Always, Sometimes, Never

Cooper 



ALWAYS:
Talks super loud
Has tons of energy
Wants to do everything with his big sister
Names all the letters of the alphabet without a problem
Very particular about what clothes he will / will not wear
Chooses Black Eyed Peas if asked what music he wants to hear
Loves to play with his guitar
Shouts out all his friends' names when the teacher holds up a sign with the name
Wants to read Backyardigans Sing Along book at bedtime and knows all characters and songs
Has a tan
Loves to go to school and talk about his teachers and friends
SOMETIMES:
Tries to talk over Addison while she is telling a story
Has wild hair
Is a very messy eater
Calls out "Mommy, Daddy, get me out!" when he wants out of bed in the morning
Says he wants to play soccer when he's 4 and football when he's 6
Repeats "Thank you God...." tons of times before naming what he is thankful for
Gets scared or spooked very easily

NEVER:
Cries when we drop him off at Sunday School if he has a donut
Turns down a chance to give hugs and kisses
Uses an "inside voice"
Picks out matching PJ's to wear when we let him choose
Acts up if we tell him there is a policeman nearby

You "ALWAYS" keeps us on our toes...
"SOMETIMES" you make us laugh out loud...
You will "NEVER" know how much we have prayed for you!



We love you, Cooper Ingrum Knott!

Addison - Always, Sometimes, Never

On one of the blogs that I read, I saw this and I thought it was a cute way of remembering the little things about the kids at certain points in time...
Addison

ALWAYS:
Says her brothers name "Coopahhhh"
Wants to have her back scratched
Wants to kiss and hug Cooper before leaving his classroom
Wants to listen to Taylor Swift or Hannah Montanna
Says the family blessing first
Tries to be a mommy to her little brother
Is the first one to start our "Thank you God" discussion at the dinner table
Wants to play "Big Bad Wolf"
Wants a treat after dinner
Likes ice in her glass of milk
Gets eaten alive by mosquitoes
SOMETIMES:
Asks me to sing Jesus Loves Me at bed
Sings Hannah Montana songs and perform for herself in the window
Tries new food, says it's good, and then changes her mind
Buckles her own seatbelt
Wants to take a shower instead of a bath
Doesn't want me to do her hair, only Ms. Kathy at school
Takes a nap over 3 hours long



NEVER:
Talks loudly in public
Wants to get out of the pool
Wants to throw any of her artwork away
 Gets in trouble at school
Wants to go to her room by herself at night


We are "ALWAYS" proud of you, Addi!
"SOMETIMES" we can't believe you are our beautiful daughter!
We will "NEVER" stop loving you!
