And we're off...

Corbin's off to Arkansas. Mommy and Daddy are just off, as in on vacation. :-)

Like all truly spoiled brats, Corbin is happy as long as he has attention. From what we observed, Nana and Papa meet his requirements very well. They played all morning and had a good time at Gymboree together. He showed off dancing, and counting, and saying his ABCs over and over. I'm sure he'll have a great week away, even if he gets more and more demanding by the hour. We sure seemed to pack a lot of stuff for him, though the vast majority was functional rather than security blankets. No doubt he'll accumulate more things by the time we get him back.

We got this email from Nana at 8:20...


Your son successfully was in bed by 8:00 pm. :-)

Successful trip:
We sang out of Dallas, counted flags, big trucks, etc.
30 minute nap. The bumpy road as we left Texas woke him up or he would have slept longer...

We stopped twice. Walmart in Atoka for a 10-15 minute stretch.
Papa watched Wiggles video with him from there to I-40.

Switched drivers at Webbers Falls where we stretched, got gas, fig newton, put in the Einstein video.

We sang into Fort Smith until we met Grandparent Moses' at Chick Fil-a for nuggets and fruit & milk.

Came home and played.

He took a bath with NO FUSSING. Played for a long time in tub.

Read 3 books while drinking milk. Brushed teeth in bed.

Fussed minimally in the dark, but then laid quietly right down after I came in to tell him that Papa and I were still with him in the house and we would be there when he woke up in the morning...

Over all a good trip so far.

We'll see how he handles the crowd tomorrow...
