Corbin's Development

2006-08-01

day two

Corbin got up with a smile shortly after 8:00 and had a breakfast of a banana and milk. That is all he wanted. He was a little crankier than Sunday. I think his tummy was not quite right.

We got him dressed and played and watched some Sesame Street. Then we went outside for about 20 to 30 minutes and played in the shade blowing bubbles and looking for kitty cats. I think it was too hot for the cats. We soon came back in because it was too hot for us, too.

Corbin had a lunch of turkey and strawberry applesauce. He went right down for his nap.

We played pretty big with the Fisher Price Zoo, big ball, piano, and reading books. We also played some on the computer and looked as Corbin's photos on the web site while he drew on paper with a pencil today.

Shortly after his one and a half hour nap, we watched a Wiggles VHS that was taped from the morning. He enjoyed that.

Sad to say, we were having a great time listening and singing to a Fisher Price audio tape, singing along to a happy song to which he was moving along to, when he came happily running over to me and bit my leg hard! I am convinced he did not do it maliciously. I think he was just as surprised as I was. I remembered that you said he was bitten at his day care last week. I popped him on his bottom and sternly said, "NO!" He looked very remorseful and immediately began to sob. I let him cry for about 30 seconds and then couldn't take it any longer. I picked him up and cuddled him. We talked about it and he said it hurt and looked at my leg. Poor kid. My leg was still hurting over an hour later. We read a book to calm down and then played happily. We prayed about it when I put him to bed for the night.

Papa Cole came home and we went to Market Place for supper. Corbin ate chicken tenders, strawberries, some french fries and milk. Afterwards we went to the mall to play in their playground for about 20 minutes. There were a lot of big children there also trying to stay out of the heat. Corbin would prefer to have the place all to himself.

Afterwards we came home and had a good time in the bathtub and read some good books before bedtime at 8:00.



Maybe it's just me, but the whole biting thing isn't a big deal. I'm surprised he hasn't done it before, actually. Most toddlers go through this phase, and Corbin's not normally agressive. So long as he doesn't get results, I don't think he'll make it a habit. But I'm very proud of Nana for spanking him! :-) Maybe he'll only come home 95% spoiled.
