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!

An update

Wow how time flies.  Korbin is doing so well.  He was sick over the last couple of days with hand, foot, and mouth.  He is feeling much better so we will be off to work/school tomorrow.  He has been so clingy and attached at the hip these last few days and although I love that he wants me to care for him every second of every day, some personal space would be lovely.  This last Saturday we moved in with my mom to save on expenses and the move, although back breaking and exhausting, will be a great move in the long run.  Both in saving expenses and for Korbin bonding with grammy.  Exciting news, as far as a mommy is concerned.  Korbin both pooped and peed in the toilet over the last couple of days.  He was so darn proud of himself that he clapped afterward and said, ‘yeah!”

Ohhhhhh…..but the best news ever.  Korbins case went to adoption last week.  I meet with the adoption social worker on Wednesday.  How exciting.  He really is going to be mine forever.  I feel like such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now, only now can I truly let down these, what if he leaves defenses, and attach to this little boy that will be driving me crazy and making me smile FOREVER!!

I have one wicked cold, so I can update some more in the next few days.
