I've been trying to expand my vocabulary the past few weeks. I figure it will help me to be more literate once Mom and Dad start trying to push these so-called "books," on me.
The last few days I've been saying "degas, degas!" (pronounced "deh-gah") in succession at least twice, sometimes more. I say it at random times just to throw Mom off and keep myself entertained since I get bored easily these days. Last night I said it while we were playing with my toys, while I was eating squash, when we were getting ready to go to bed, and again when I woke up in the middle of the night.
Mommy even called Grandma and they spent a really long time trying to figure out what it was. It was comical to hear them going through different sayings and words trying to figure out what I am trying to say. They think maybe its "doggy," since I love Shiner so much, or maybe its "good job," and there were a few other possibilities.
I think I'll continue this charade for a little longer for the entertainment factor. Its quite amusing to see Mommy want to figure something out so badly.
Little does she know that what I'm actually referring to is the French Impressionist painter Edgar Degas! In my free time, I have enjoyed studying art history and have a newfound interest in Degas' works (two of my favorites are pictured below). Now if only Mommy were as intellectual and cultured as me, she'd have figured this out already.

Wow! What an intelligent young man you are! And good looking at that!
I desperately wish we could meet you VERY soon! Taylor keeps asking me over and over when will he get to see you! Maybe he can teach you how to master the "no" (shaking his head back and forth) and you can teach him a little about art.
BLESS you sweet boy!
I have yet to hear 'Degas' this must be a very special word we only say around mom & dad. have Or else, it is a very funny trick he only plays on mom & dad, hehehe. My favorite is the bob-cat-gold-tail whatever sound. It is the best, & but the facial expressions that go along with it are priceless.
Cooper, you are so smart! I am so glad that your mommy left you blog finally.... you were getting the the age that it's time for a little freedom!!!
