Corbin's Development

2006-08-01

Too much fun?

I didn't think Corbin would ever get to our house, but finally, around 1:30 he arrived. Of course he had to run around the house and get reaquainted with everything, then it was nap time. At 2:00 he went to sleep and didn't wake until 3:30. We played in the house for a while then Grandpa had the bright idea of going outside. Corbin didn't have to be asked twice to go get his shoes.


He pulled his wagon out into the yard but as soon as he spotted his swing he was ready to be swung. More, more, higher, higher...

When I asked if he wanted to join Grandpa in the hammock, he thought he would give it a try. Hey, this is pretty cool! Swinging while lying down.

Grandma needed help picking the red tomatoes and fortunately Corbin knows his colors. He picked 9 red tomatoes and 1 green tomato for an even 10. After taking the tomatoes inside to be washed, Grandma and Corbin played follow the leader. We took turns being the leader. During this time, Grandpa watched a cheesy Sci-Fi and never said anything while we walked passed the TV. After a dinner of roasted chicken, peas, squash and strawberries, we all went back outside for more fun.


Corbin spotted the water sprinkler and wanted to play in it. He ran through about 100 times and pulled Grandma into it many times. Each time he ran through, he would sign "more" and then run back through. We were both soaked and just considered that our pre-bath.

The clock on the wall said it was time to go in, bathe, drink some milk, read books and brush teeth, so we did. Corbin sat on Grandma's lap while Grandpa brushed his teeth. He opened his mouth really big for Grandpa. After hugging and kissing us both, he said "bye-bye" and took off walking down the hall. I followed after him, got another big hug and laid him down. He never made a sound. What a great day!
