David Arquette Can't Believe Coco's in Kindergarten

Proud dad David Arquette says he was sad to see his 5-year-old daughter Coco Riley enter kindergarten this fall.

“[Courteney and I] were watching videos of her when she was two and she was just so cute,” he reminisced to Celebrity Baby Blog at Feeding America‘s “Come Together” charity dinner, held recently at Macy’s in New York. “It really does go so fast.”

Before jetting off to the East Coast from L.A., where the family lives, Coco had a small request, David shared.

“I said, ‘Coco, I’m going to bring you back something. What do you want?’ and she said, ‘A dress. Bring me back a long dress’ because she can wear dresses now in ‘big girl school.’ She’s just the best…so much fun. She really is great.”

The precocious little girl owes it all to Wes Craven‘s popular horror film, Scream. If it wasn’t for the movie, mom and dad may have never ended up together, David explains.

“We met at a pre-party before we started filming Scream. I was being a little cocky and Courteney was like, ‘Ah, I’ve heard of you,’ and we just kept flirting for a while. She’s just so gorgeous and she jokes around so much.”

So was it love at first sight? “For me it was, but not for her. I had to trick her,” he quips.

The couple, who have been married for 10 years, have signed on to star in the fourth installment of the Scream franchise.

“To work with Courteney again is amazing. We don’t have a script yet, so I don’t know what it’s about,” David notes. “If [Kevin Williamson's] script is up to par, then Wes Craven will direct it, which I’m really excited about.”

You know I understand that feeling. The good news is it gets better and you actually enjoy seeing them preparing for school and actually enjoying school. Take one day at time and smile and don’t forget, takes lots of pictures of these moment.

I love this couple. I hope they last! Coco is just adorable. I know Courteney had a lot of fertility issues conceiving Coco so I can see why they haven’t had another. It would be neat for them to have a surprize pregnancy. I know a few couples who adopted because they were told they could never conceive on their own only to end up getting pregnant on their own down the road.

How sweet is what he’s saying about his wife, and after such a long time of being married!?
I love Courteney and David, they seem like a really strong couple! And Coco’s simply adorable and so BIG already!

I just watched Scream the other day and its half hilarious/half scary. Altogether, a good movie, sometimes corny, but from Drew Barrymore’s scene in the beginning, the movie grabs your attention. The Screams that followed were extra cheesy, but I’ve seen all of them and would watch a new Scream. I just hope it has the comedy factor in it, still.
As for David and Courtney, they are an awesome couple, you can tell they both have a lot of laughs. I am excited about Courtney’s new show on ABC, looks really funny. Loved Friends group. Wish David and Courtney the best!

I actually like these couple’s love story. I saw it featured on some show several years ago.
