Missing Documentation

A few weeks ago I moved some photo albums around.  It was quite obvious that McKenna had way more photos in books than the other kids.  I felt bad, but I reminded myself that Cooper and Kinley's lives are almost exclusively documented here on the blog.  Still, I know someday I will have to answer the age old question of why there aren't more pictures of the younger kids.

But for Cooper there might be another reason why some photos of important events may be missing from his kindergarten year.   He's constantly been sick.   He can't just plan his illness on a regular day but always seems to time it so that he misses out on a fun event at school.  This year, those days include but are not limited to : the class Christmas party, pajama day and now his first music concert.  Yes, here we sit, yet again, plagued by a sore throat and fever.    Cooper is watching a movie while I get caught up on work and blogging.  It's a relaxing afternoon but not the one we had in mind.   He's sad to miss his concert but ultimately didn't feel like he was able to make it over to school to sing.  He has managed to serenade me at least fifty times with a rendition of "Little Red Wagon" so my hope is that he's on the mend.

So, Cooper, please do not be mad at me for not properly documenting these fun times during kindergarten.    There is no documentation except for the strep tests and doctors notes in your medical record.   I hope and pray that first grade brings some relief for your tonsils though I personally don't think you'll still lay claim to them by then.   Whatever the case may be I hope that you won't miss anymore fun events.  I love you little Buddy!
