More Joys of Grandparenting

Corbin woke up this morning in such a pleasant mood. He helped Grandma make scrambled eggs with cheese. He and Grandpa shared a banana, although I think he could have finished a whole one by himself. As soon as we were all dressed, we headed for the library. Corbin worked a puzzle, "read" some books and then explored the children's area. It was okay for a short while but when Grandma asked him if he was ready to go to the park, he started looking for the door.

At Creekmore he swung for a while, then played on the Fort. A 24 month old girl named Anna wanted to be friends with Corbin, but she was a little too aggressive for him. Everywhere Corbin went, she followed. Everything he played with, she wanted to play with. It was obvious that she was annoying him. When it was time to leave, Corbin handed her his sunglasses and gave her a hug, so I guess she won him over. Her mother thanked him and put his glasses back on him. I love happy endings.

On our way to "Eunice's" we sang "Happy Birthday to Mommy" several times. That put a big smile on Corbin's face. We had lunch with Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Waggoner. It's hard to eat with so many people fussing over you. He was a sweetie though. If he didn't have a hug for you, he gave a high-five.

Next stop Wal-Mart. We exchanged the case of size 4 Pampers for size 5's and Corbin selected a nice bunch of bananas. He is such a helper. I don't know what I'll do without him. Shortly after we returned home, he took an hour and a half nap. We played inside until time for Bible class.

Corbin picked up where he left off Sunday evening, playing with the toys that he had mastered. He answered all the questions Mrs. Nancy asked, right on cue and even answered for others if they didn't respond. She properly thanked him for being such a good student and helper and invited him to come back soon. Of course bedtime was a little late, but he was sound asleep by 8:45.

Yes, Mommy and Daddy, he has asked about you both, but I just tell him that you are at home, change the subject, and start having more fun. He's only asked a couple of times, but don't worry, I wouldn't let him cry for you.
