A date with the boys... and their Mommies http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html On July 26, Mommy and I had our second playdate. It was so much fun. There were five babies - all boys - and four Mommies. Yes, that’s right. My math isn’t wrong. One Mommy, Marika, has twins. We all met at Marika’s house, where us boys sat on the floor playing with all sorts of fun toys. There was a beach ball, an exer-saucer, a computer and this really cool rubber giraffe from France. While the we played, our Mommies, who all used to work together at The Miami Herald, chatted and ate. I really had fun and I kept Mommy busy chasing after me as I crawled all over the place. Who knows, maybe us boys will become a Boy Band one day. Or maybe a baseball team. I sure can’t wait til the next time I get to see my buddies. What a big ball! http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#0 8c59edaa-9411-49ce-99a7-23c8d422354f http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6388/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6388/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">What a big ball!</p></div></div> Andrew, 10 months http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#1 ea9708fd-8a7e-43fe-b262-3aa08f287437 http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6387/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6387/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">Andrew, 10 months</p></div></div> Cooper, 8 months http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#2 7fc79834-2716-46f1-a96d-4b2e5793d274 http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6390/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6390/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">Cooper, 8 months</p></div></div> Cooper and Neale, 6 months http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#3 b555a68f-0850-4fba-8188-345a7dc187d9 http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6389/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6389/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">Cooper and Neale, 6 months</p></div></div> Kathy and Logan, 6 months http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#4 80101ff4-b8dd-4c77-b8a6-9aa6c00df01e http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6391/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6391/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">Kathy and Logan, 6 months</p></div></div> Marika and Neale http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#5 11be71d7-64a2-4d2e-8b9e-44cdb40e46b4 http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6392/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6392/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">Marika and Neale</p></div></div> What a party http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#6 a77f0adc-2492-4b63-8cbd-a5500255a9c9 http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6393/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6393/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">What a party</p></div></div> Strong Logan http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#7 2e420070-76bb-4606-93d7-ec6308efe23b http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6394/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6394/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">Strong Logan</p></div></div> Logan and Cooper http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate.html#8 1341f055-3eaa-4d82-9667-d384b7742c40 http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6397/thumb.jpg http://www.cooperpatrick.com/Site/Playdate_files/Media/IMG_6397/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_1"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_2">Logan and Cooper</p></div></div> Who needs Gymboree?
