Korbin is laying next too me in a toddler slumber, but just a few hours ago I said, there is something on your nose. he said, it’s a buger. I need go to doctor…to the buger doctor. Apparently he had a nostril issue that could only be resolved by some unknown ‘buger doctor.’ This kid is a hoot. I love him more each day!
What a Day!
So I’m sure everyone has heard the Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett news. How crazy is life sometimes?!? For me, sad things happen all the time, but this surely is wack-a-doo news. And the timing, both on the same day, that is so very strange.
A little Scary
Korbin had his two-year-old check up on Tuesday and the doctor thought he heard a heart murmur. I know a lot of things can contribute to it (a cough, running around, asthma, a fever), but I’m totally stressing about this. We have a recheck in two weeks to see if it’s still seems there and if it does we’ll have to go to a pediatric cardiologist and go from there. I am so hoping it’s nothing. I just want my baby healthy and happy and, quite honestly, fine. I don’t want him sad or hurting or struggling, and this has me so concerned. These next two weeks need to just fly by ’cause I’m a stressin’! off to bed now to make six hours go by really fast.
It takes a two-year-old
So during dinner Korbin sees two photos of my grandpa hanging on the wall. (He started in the two’s room today-his bday is tomorrow so he thinks he’s such the big kid and he’s been talking in longer sentences.)
Here’s our convo:
K-who’s that mamma?
M-that’s my grandpa. He grammy’s dad.
K-oh, your mom.
M-yes, he’s grammy’s dad. He got really old and sick and he’s not here anymore.
K-oooh he didn’t drink his juice. (Said very matter of factly.)
M-really, he got sick because he didn’t drink his juice?
K-yeah, sure, he go to doctor and get medicine and drink his juice.
M-then he would have been fine?
K-yeah. he got a cough or he fall down?
M-actually he fell down.
K-yeah, sure, he go to doctor and get medicine for that.
Apparently it takes a toddler to solve our medical issues now as well.
Summertime and the living’s easy.
Work, arg, it’s been so stressful and overwhelming, but Korbin has been a dream. At least at the moment since he’s been asleep for a few hours. He is growing like a weed and I’m near tears at the thought of him turning two next Thursday. I’m taking Thursday and Friday off to have a potty training weekend before he moves to the two’s room that can actually facilitate his needing to go. The toddler room he’s in now has no toilets in the room so if the situation isn’t right, they just can’t take him. It’s so frustrating, but the countdown begins. We’ll try this weekend in ‘ummerwares’, as he calls them, and we’ll see how he does. I’ve had him without diapers for 3-4 hour burts at a time and he does okay (I’ve done it a whole 3 times so far, I’m really scared). I think he’ll be okay since his language is there.
So my question of the week is: How do I get a passport for Korbin? I was told his birth certificate will take a YEAR to arrive and that I can fight for his social security card, so I’ll check it out next week. I would rather do the leg work by phone instead of having a potty training boy waiting in line for hours. That is truly an accident waiting to happen. Iwant to travel out of the country and that’s so not an option without a passport.
I’ll check in to give an update on pot-pot (as he calls the potty), and the whole passport, ss card thing. Have a grand evening!
