So, generally, I feel so pleased with Coop's language. He's made big changes this year and is SO much more successfully communicating without help. This weekend, we went to a big bird sanctuary (we really mostly saw ducks..) for the day. The kids LOVED it! Of particular interest, of course, was throwing birdseed for the ducks. Cooper asked me for more, and knew exactly what he intended with his request. What stood out to me when I watched this video was how much effort it really took him to get what was in his head out...I always tell people that what Cooper is able to say far less than he truly understands- which, in itself, is a substantial part of his challenge. I feel like that's SO evident here!

Personally I think feeding the ducks is the greatest thing in the world. Cooper, you lead a fascinating life!
Cooper is getting so big, so mature!
Oh my oh my. I know you are feeling and seeing the piece of language that he can't get out.... But I'm ENVIOUS at what he is able to communicate. Wow. I haven't heard him in while and I'm so impressed. When our farm dries out we will have your family over for feeding chicks and goats.
