McCoyovich (best said with a Russian accent)

As I am sitting on the couch folding the never ending laundry, I sense someone come into the room and after placing the neatly folded shirt in the basket I look over to see McCoy sitting on the couch wearing thermal underwear, black spiderman mask and a christmas ASU hat.  I asks him what kind of guy he is dressed up as and he silently shrugs and then a couple minutes later asks what the score is on the football game. That's McCoy for you in a nutshell:  creative, independent, quiet, and very interested in sports.  Children are so wonderful; you just never know what they will come up with and McCoy is the best at coming up with hilarious one-liners that are so logical. I really get a kick out of that kid. 

McCoy-boy wonder

 This expression (see below) is one he sometimes makes when he is thinking about something. Note a grumpy Archer in the background having a pout and probably saying nasty things to the ceiling.  McCoy sports an awesome Mohawk, his hairstyle of choice.

McCoy with big guns

McCoy really loves playing and watching sports.  I am amazed at how much he knows about football; he can even read and correctly interpret the signs the refs make during a game. This was his second year playing flag football and his team (coached by Eddy) made it to the semi-finals where they lost by a touchdown and so were out of the playoffs.  McCoy took the loss pretty hard but silently. He didn't cry or anything he was just glum. Poor guy he really loved playing and it is such a long time until baseball season.  You can find McCoy in the backyard playing seasonal sports endlessly and often by himself. He will play catch by himself if he can't find a brother to play with him.

McCoy is a very zen kind of guy and a soothing person to be around. He loves to draw although he doesn't do it as much as he used to when he was younger.  He still says he wants to be an artist when he grows up.  I be interested to see if he does indeed, grow up to be an artist if not I am sure it will something creative like a thermal wearing, masked and hatted superhero!
