I was lucky to have this little dreamboat all to myself tonight for some one on one time. We made a quick candy run (chocolates for me, starbursts for him) and then walked from the grocery store over to the little Bella Vista movie theatre. We were in line for a loooong time, but it ended up being an exciting adventure because Corbin spotted a "Bella Vista Ar Rocks" Rock at the edge of the movie counter! We posted our find on the FB page and Corbin is sleeping with his rock tonight and dreaming about which of our favorite Bella Vista special spots to re-hide it, tomorrow! Such a simple and fun thing. The delight on his face was absolutely found treasure. I'm rich!
The movie was cute. A little weird, but Corbin's movie laugh is priceless and contagious. A movie date was a good idea, Corbin.
After the movie, we had a good talk about the new school year (starts in 9 days!) and he expressed concerns that he will get the teacher who yells. I'm honestly a little sick in my gut with worry over it, too, but I'm putting on my optimistic mom face and singing "Que Sera Sera" to the children. I told him, "It will all work out, because you are such a good boy! You will set a shining example for your friends just like the sunshine on that rock you found tonight. You're a light. Any teacher would be lucky to have you, and you will be just fine." And then he smiled and held my hand and I had a rare (with him) comforting confirmation where I just knew that he really heard me, and that he believes me.
And I believe in him. You are such a good boy, my Corbin Mac.
