On this day, eight years ago, I birthed a beautiful baby boy. A son! A brother for my little girls. This spirited little boy is such a blessing. I'm still too easily bought by his big brown eyes, raspy voice, and adorable but fading lisp. This was the year that he no longer requests that I sing Baby Mine to him every night at bed time, but he still loves it if I offer the tune to him anyway. He works hard and plays hard. He reads and reads. He hyper focuses on any task he determines to finish. He adores his school and primary teachers. He stops at grandmas for a snack every day after school and says thank you every day when he leaves. He is suddenly very vocal about his recognition of right and wrong. He likes to be the tv show decision maker and remote control holder in our house. He laughs out loud when he reads funny books and the sound is so wonderful it leads me to google searches like,
"Funny chapter books for kids". He is a tease who lathes being teased back, and a great lover of all games that he is winning, or at least not losing. He both challenges meand melts my heart at rates I did not know I was capable of. He has changed me for the better. I just love being around him and the energy and life he breathes into our home.
Happy Birthday Corbin! My love for you is fierce! .
