Corban 2 years old!!!
Corban, you are 2 years old this month! Son, you are by far the funniest child I have ever met. There is not a hour of the day that your dad and I don't mention something funny that you did or said that day. You seem to understand sarcasm and actually attempt to make jokes with your broken vocabulary. We LOVE your sense of humor!!! You are also, by far, the strongest willed child. You are persistent and love to do the opposite of whatever everyone else does. I know this can serve you well in your life, but let me tell you, son, it is a difficult thing to deal with at 2 years old! I find myself having to modify a lot of discipline in order to figure you out and deal with your persistence and strong opinions. The term 'let it go' and 'choose your battles' is used frequently when we mention your name. Here are a few things I want to jot down about you:
- You LOVE to ride...lawn mowers/tractors/horses. You ask non stop to ride something and don't stop asking until it happens!
-You LOVE your Papa and RaRa! You are friendly with everyone but I mean, seriously, you are very select about who you attach to and when you love someone, you love hard. You are stuck like glue to them. Add in your persistence and strong opinion and things get a little ridiculous when they are around.
-You eat, and eat, and eat, and eat. Except, you hate milk.
-Your vocabulary is taking off....you can say pretty much any word we ask you to and are putting words together to make sentences.
-You sleep in a big bed, and have been for about 5 months now. You insist on sleeping on the 'op bunk' for naps but we had to put our foot down at night and made you sleep in the bottom bunk.
-You still get up at 6am every morning and are REALLY chipper too! We have finally gotten you to play in your room when you wake up until I come get you...well kind of...it's still rough mornings around here most of the time.
-You have a crazy obsession with glasses (like sunglasses or play eye glasses) right now...all kinds. You wear them everywhere we go. You also love keys, phones, and your Crazy Coup car.
-You want to do everything your self. I. mean. EVERYTHING!
-You LOVE your brother and want to do everything he does and exactly the same way he does it...as long as it is your idea.
-We call you a parrot because you repeat everything that is said...no secrets in this family right now:) and :(
-You sing non stop. You go around our house and find books or a piece of paper and something to stand on, lift your hand to lead and start singing at the top of your lungs. Your favorite song (that you can sing almost all the words to) is Jesus Loves Me. You also like Holy Lord, Blessed be the Name of the Lord, Days of Elijah, The Lord Reigns, and Lord Reign in Me. You also ask every Sunday to go up after worship and lead songs on the stage. We literally hold you back until the final amen and you go running up the steps until we pull you off to go to class.
-You are all about your feelings. You go around and declare your mood (happy, sad, and scared are the typical ones) frequently.
Corb, thanks for making us laugh! May God be glorified in your life always, son! We love you so much! You are so full of life. Keep on growing, sweet boy!
