The music therapist who works with Cooper and Katie every other week encouraged Cooper to write and sing a song about Steve.
Before her visit this week, Cooper made a list of words that remind him of Daddy. Lisa helped him transform those words into a fun song. He gave me permission to share with a caveat: He asks that no one laugh at the first few seconds of his performance. (He didn't realize that "the camera was rolling.")
I love it! My two favorite moments are the fingers used for counting -- especially for six -- and the use of the word "scrumptious."

Love the sweet and goofy innocence that comes with being 8 years old! So proud of him for coping in such a meaningful way! What a gift! You know Steve is smiling, holding his hand over his heart!

I can only imagine Steve's pride when he sees this. In fact, I picture him showing the video to all his pals in heaven, saying, "Look what my son has done!" What a beautiful project.
Sending you all love,

Fabulous, Cooper. I love it! By the way, do I need to send this child a TCU shirt? :)
Steve is loving all of this -- and probably even forgiving that SMU shirt given that one of his three favorite people in the world is wearing it!
(Of course this reminds me that Cooper needs a University of Texas shirt!)
Seriously, he has clearly inherited Steve's love of performance and his fabulous voice!
Great imagination in your lyrics, Cooper!
Oh my goodness, that is too wonderful! I love the "yeah!" and camera point at the end. Very creative and tender-hearted too.
My heart is touched, thank you for sharing.
