Nook

Around here, Milk is king. When Cooper first started to talk, one of his first words was "Nook", which in fact means Milk. So, it sort of stuck and I know we are damaging him, but we have started to refer to it as Nook, and now Abby thinks that Milk is actually Nook. One day I actually spelled it out loud to Steven as N-O-O-K. How embarrasing.

So, Coop's no fool. He loves to have a bit of the white gold as he goes to sleep. He REALLY loves it if he has exhausted all of his other come-out-of-his-room options. So, tonight as we were coming up the stairs he said, "Mommy, Nook?" To which I replied, "No." Then he said, "Mommy, Rawer?" (Water) Again I replied, "No." Then he said, "Brawberry Milk?" I replied, "Cooper, you don't even like Strawberry Milk!" And he said in a jokey voice," How about...Nook?"

He's no fool.
