Beckett gets dragged to a lot of places. He gets dragged to Cooper's preschool. He gets dragged to the bus stop. He gets dragged to Cooper's speech therapy once a week. And he's always such a good sport about it.
Every now and then - Beckett also gets dragged places that I wouldn't expect him to enjoy, but Cooper can't get enough of. Places like snow sledding. Beckett's just not quite big enough to enjoy zipping down the hill like Cooper.
I'm sure that will all change soon enough.
But for now, I am enjoying the extra one-on-one time with him at all the places he gets dragged to. Places like the bus stop. Singing in the car on the way to Coop's school. And most of all - hanging out with Becks at the bottom of the sledding hill - watching him explore the snow and screaming with delight as Cooper races by again and again.
They grow up too fast. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and watch.
Sounds like being youngest has some perks! I hope that when (if) we have another that he/she will be as willing to tag along as Beckett is. Looks like you guys had fun in the snow

He's such a sweet little brother. I miss my boys...

Super cute pictures, Gretchen. The one of Chris and Cooper is so much fun!
And this may be one way to get Beckett more excited about going down the hill - turn him backwards on your lap while you still face forward. That's what worked for Emma. I think it was the snow blowing up in her face that annoyed her so much :)
