Jack

Last night at the dinner table, Cooper pointed to himself and said "me Jack". After two and a half years, Cooper has never referred to himself by his actual name. It's something his speech therapist has been desperately working on, but has had no success. For him to call himself something was exciting. I think he came up with "Jack" from either The Incredibles, or Zoom. Both of those are movies about superheroes. He woke up today, still telling everyone to call him Jack. He gets angry and growls at you when you say Cooper, Coop, Coopie, or any other name we used to use. I guess he just likes to be a Jack. Ironic thing is, the name Jack was on our short list when I was pregnant with him, and in all honesty it was Andy's #1 pick...maybe Coop is trying to tell us something.
